| | Synopsis
|
"This book is addressed to classroom science teachers, both
beginning and experienced. It is a guide to using four core practices
to improve instruction using [the book's] methods"—Provided by
publisher. Ambitious Science Teaching outlines a powerful framework
for science teaching to ensure that instructions is rigorous and
equitable for students from all backgrounds. The practices presented
in the book are being used in schools and districts that seek to
improve science teaching at scale, and a wide range of science
subjects and grade levels are represented. The book is organized
around four sets of core teaching practices: planning for engagement
with big ideas; eliciting student thinking; supporting changes in
students'; thinking; and drawing together evidence-based
explanations. Discussion of each practice includes tools and routines
that teachers can use to support students' participation, transcripts
of actual student-teacher dialogue and descriptions of teachers'
thinking as it unfolds, and examples of student work. The book also
provides explicit guidance for "opportunity to learn" strategies that
can help scaffold the participation of diverse students. Since the
success of these practices depends so heavily on discourse among
students, Ambitious Science Teaching includes chapters on productive
classroom talk. Science-specific skills such as modelling and
scientific argument are also covered. Drawing on the emerging
research on core teaching practice and their extensive work with
pre-service and in-service teachers, Ambitious Science Teaching
presents a coherent and aligned set of resources for educators
striving to meet the considerable challenges that have been set for
them. -From amazon.com.
