In continuing with January’s theme of Resources for Teachers, this month we will focus on Science resources. Supplemental resources help teachers to enhance their lessons and innovatively engage their students. One free resource is Education.com, a website offering free lesson plans in science and various other subjects, including English Learner (EL) support. It offers activities and worksheets for teachers to introduce in their classrooms aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards.
Another free resource that is standards-aligned is CK12.org. This online platform offers a variety of texts and videos to support the science curriculum for your students. Teachers can easily assign lessons to their students on this platform and connect them to their Google classrooms.
Finally, we invite you to explore PBS Learning Media which has several free science resources that include activities and videos to share with your class. This platform enables teachers to assign these activities directly to students and offers Teaching Tips to promote STEM strategies in the classroom.
We have professional development sessions scheduled this month that focus on differentiation, using effective evaluation tools, and building lessons that are engaging for all students. We invite you to attend the sessions below and register to participate and earn CTLE credit!
Join us for a virtual session to learn about classroom evaluation tools, collaborate with colleagues regarding best evaluation practices, and implement observation tools in lesson plans.
