SUMMARY:K-12 Science Institute\, 2026-2027
DESCRIPTION:Content foci are primarily life science and physical science\, with some Earth & space science and engineering. \n\n\n\n\nWho: Open to all grades K-12 science teachers (e.g.\, life science\, physical science\, Earth & space science\, biology\, chemistry\, physics\, etc.) \nWhen: November 13\, December 9\, 2026\, January 12\, February 11\, 2027 \nWhere: In-person at the Allegheny Intermediate Unit \nPrice: Allegheny Intermediate Unit (AIU)districts $600; Non-AIU districts: $800 (School district will be invoiced.) \nAdministrators are strongly encouraged to attend with the teacher(s) from their district/building \nAttendees will develop a shared understanding of phenomenon-based and problem-driven science teaching and learning that effectively incorporates all three dimensions of the science standards (disciplinary core ideas\, science and engineering practices\, & crosscutting concepts) and provides equitable\, inclusive instruction. \nParticipants will engage\, as learners and as teachers\, with the pedagogical practices that foster reasoning and sense-making in the science classroom and support equity and access for all students. They will also gain access to tools and resources for the teaching and learning of science at their grade band as they become familiar with what instruction in science looks and feels like when implementing the science standards from PA STEELS. \nOver the course of the four days\, participants will explore the science standards from the PA Science\, Technology & Engineering\, Environmental Literacy & Sustainability (STEELS) standards within the elementary\, middle school\, and high school grade bands. \nAct 48 hours will be awarded pending approval by PDE for those who attend all sessions and complete all related assignments. \n\nIf you attended a three-day Introductory Institute during a previous school year\, this institute may be somewhat repetitive for you. However\, we have revised the immersive experiences and included some content from our previously offered Course 2. Thus\, you may still find benefit in this offering. Alternatively\, consider enrolling in our Assessment and Grading in K-12 Science professional learning offering.
