Teaching K-12 science and engineering during a crisis / Jennifer Self ; Board on Science Education, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education ; based on the following reports of the National Academies of Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering: a framework for K-12 science education: practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas developing assessments for the next generation science standards guide to implementing the next generation science standards science and engineering for grades 6-12: investigation and design at the center English learners in STEM subjects.
The COVID-19 pandemic is resulting in widespread and ongoing changes to how the K-12 education system functions, including disruptions to science teaching and learning environments. Students and teachers are all figuring out how to do schooling differently, and districts and states are working overtime to reimagine systems and processes. This is difficult and stressful work in the middle of the already stressful and sometimes traumatic backdrop of the global pandemic. In addition, students with disabilities, students of color, immigrants, English learners, and students from under-resourced communities have been disproportionately affected, both by the pandemic itself and by the resulting instructional shifts.
Teaching K-12 Science and Engineering During a Crisis aims to describe what high quality science and engineering education can look like in a time of great uncertainty and to support practitioners as they work toward their goals. This book includes guidance for science and engineering practitioners - with an emphasis on the needs of district science supervisors, curriculum leads, and instructional coaches. Teaching K-12 Science and Engineering During a Crisis will help K-12 science and engineering teachers adapt learning experiences as needed to support students and their families dealing with ongoing changes to instructional and home environments and at the same time provide high quality in those experiences.--Publisher's website
