WSTA Pre-Conference Short Course: Supporting the NGSS with Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL)

In this lecture-free short course we will immerse ourselves in a structured collaborative learning environment as we analyze the NGSS framework and Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs). We will investigate the use of roles in group learning, the underlying learning cycle structure of POGIL activities, the relationship between POGIL process skills and SEPs, and the teacher facilitation skills utilized in a POGIL lesson.  We will leave with new skills we can apply in our classes on Monday morning.

Appropriate for high school and college/university science instructors.
