New Visions – Earth and Space Science – Unit 4 – Climate Change *IN PERSON* – 8:30-2:30pm

Designed for teachers in their first years of implementing New Visions Earth and Space Science, this series of six unit-based workshops provides just-in-time support as teachers move through the curriculum. Each session builds understanding of an upcoming unit’s storyline and key instructional decisions, with a focus on translating the pedagogical shifts of the NYSSLS – phenomena-driven instruction, 3D learning and assessment, real-world relevance, and equitable sensemaking routines – into consistent classroom practice. Teachers leave each session with curriculum-ready materials, a peer-tested strategy, and a deeper understanding of how to use the curriculum to drive scientific thinking. Each unit-based session offers new immersive curriculum experiences and investigates how embedded supports and the Universal Design for Learning framework can inform responsive modifications for students with diverse learning needs. Audience: Science Educators, Lead Teachers, STEM Coordinators, Science Administrators Eligible for 6 CTLE credits. Can use 2-1/2 consortium seats This workshop supports participants in implementing Unit 4 of the New Visions Earth & Space Science curriculum. Educators will engage in immersive experiences with the unit materials, reflect on their learning, discuss adaptations to meet their students’ needs, and collaborate with peers to problem-solve challenges. This unit-based PL also highlights a high-leverage pedagogical goal-helping students connect understandings they develop from one lesson to the next across all three dimensions.
