As
of 2015, Iowa has new K-12 science standards and this year marks the
second year of our four-year
implementation process. Are you a new
teacher or new to Iowa and have not yet heard about the new standards?
Were you unable to attend the Iowa Science Standards Overview
Professional Development offered through your AEAs? Did you attend the
Overview PD but want a refresher prior to attending the next round of
professional learning? Did you attend the Overview PD and are now in
charge of sharing the learning with others in your districts? Are you
an instructional coach who needs a foundational understanding of the
science standards?
If you said “yes” to any of those questions, the
science leadership team and AEA PD On-line are pleased to announce that a condensed version of the Iowa Science Standards: Overview is now available on-line.
This overview provides foundational information, helps build a common
vocabulary, and provides a glimpse of the vision for teaching and
learning with the new standards.
The overview may be completed
individually as a self-paced course but is broken into smaller segments
that could be completed within teams/PLCs. In order to help provide a
more complete picture of the number of participants using this resource,
every individual should register even if you are completing the course
as a group.
To register:
1. Go to http://training.aeapdonline. org/

4. Select Iowa's Science Standards: Overview and Register
