Evidence of Alignment
IT'S NOT A TEXTBOOK. IT'S NOT A KIT. IT'S A PROGRAM.
Each learning journey should have a clear path
These Learning Pathways are used in unit development by SEPUP, at the Lawrence Hall of Science, in the same way schools are using multi-colored stickies to ensure the three dimensions are authentically intertwined in the activity and unit design.
An intentionally flexible approach to all program activity types help accomplish our goal that all students achieve scientific literacy.
Integrated into the programs the SEPUP assessment system sets up ways to collect evidence on student learning and improve performance.
Embedded strategies help teachers explore students' thinking and give students multiple opportunities to confront their preconceptions.
The best part of Issues and Science for my students is that it is connected to real-life issues that are relevant to their lives. It includes strategies and tools for me to reach ALL my kids, includes step-by-step instructions, and it is FUN! I fell in love with teaching science because of the Lab-Aids curriculum.
