1-3 pm Gap-Closing Benefits from Design-Based Learning and the Role of the Administrator
Presenter: Dr. Christian Dieter Schunn
A group at the University of Pittsburgh is developing design-based learning (DBL) units for middle school and high school math, science, and technology classrooms. Dr. Schunn will share details of their program, including academic gains resulting from DBL, especially with traditionally underserved minority populations.
3:15-4:30 pm Join teachers for Misconceptions in Science and Math
Presenters: Ms. Meri Johnson, Dr. David Vernot (members of CEEMS Resource Team)
Location: Campus Recreation Center 3210

DAY 3: FRIDAY, JULY 27, 2012
9-10:15 am Focus Group Facilitators: Dr. David Vernot, Ms. Julie Steimle
“What can you do for CEEMS’ success at your school or district?
10:30 am to 2 pm Exploring Engineering Design in the draft Next Generation Science Standards(with break for lunch)
Presenter: Dr. Ramon Lopez, University of Texas, Arlington
Dr. Lopez is one of the writers of the Next Generation Science Standards. He will provide a brief overview of the development of NGSS and take the audience through a series of activities and exercises to illustrate how the engineering design component could be implemented in a middle school science classroom.
2-3 pm Plan of Action
Facilitators: Dr. Anant Kukreti, Julie Steimle
Administrators present plan of action for CEEMS implementation in school or district
