S5 Episode 13: The How, What, and Why of the New Arizona Science Standards

Are you curious about the new Arizona Science Standards, how they came to be, and how they will impact your classroom? On this week’s podcast you will have a chance to better understand the rationale behind the new standards, the idea of 3-Dimensional Learning, and how to create scientifically literate students from three experts, Sarah Sleaseman, Rebecca Garelli, and Tiffany Smith. For more information about the new standards and learning around them visit the Arizona Department of Education website and the Arizona Science Teachers Association. Don’t forget to check azk12.org as we will offer Project-Based Learning and Assessment with Jenny Pierratt and Visible Learning in Math with Connie Hamilton and Joseph Assof during the 2019-2020 school year. Can’t wait to see you there!

Being an educator in the 21st century is indescribably complex. There’s a constant pressure to meet standards and help students achieve, but there’s also a need to allow learners to color outside the lines in an effort to prompt creativity. To support educators along the continuum, the Center developed “3Ps in a Pod” to further dissect practice, policy, and passion in the field of education.
