60-MINUTE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SESSION

How Learning Happens at the Point of Challenge

Check out this free on-demand webinar that discusses the importance of challenge in the learning process for science K-8.

In this session we’ll learn:

  • How traditional approaches to teaching often focus on getting the right answer or completing assignments, rather than promoting deep understanding and critical thinking
  • The need for teachers to create a safe space for productive struggle, where students can take risks, make connections, and engage in meaningful discussions
  • The importance of formative assessment and the role of questioning in promoting learning

Learn how teachers can make a shift in teaching practices towards a focus on student thinking and understanding rather than the mere acquisition of knowledge.
