Teacher Kassie, a 3rd-grade science teacher, explains how she set up her class of Spanish-speaking students to write and perform Science Theater sketches as a way to explain the impacts of dams on the life cycle of salmon. Then an education researcher explains the implications of using Science Theater with your students. This work was part of the Promoting Asset-based Science Teaching for Emergent Language Learners (PASTEL) project, funded by the James S. McDonnell Foundation.
Meaningful Connections to People, Place, Community, Nature, and Power: Studio Learning
This tool is an example of studio professional learning (and a unit we co-designed) in which teachers shifted engineering curriculum to include meaningful connections to people, place, community, nature, and power.
