On the Brink of Success in Elementary Science

Texas has given clear and concise directions for elementary science with the implementation of the TEKS in 1998 and TAKS in 2003-05. The directives these tools provide will help make decisions based on the TAKS data, and aid in the design of elementary science instructional strategies. The strategies will engage student learning through quality elementary science instruction at the depth and complexity required by the State; move the students from 3-dimensional hands-on to 2-dimensional performance; and promote teacher confidence in the sciences.

This workshop will help apply science teaching strategies to aligned curriculum objectives in order to improve student performance.

Successful Instructional Math Strategies For Students
Students must learn mathematics with understanding, actively building new knowledge from experiences and prior knowledge.
The participants will be given the opportunity to work cooperatively in developing mathematical concepts concretely to build understanding and then abstractly to apply information for problem solving.  This strategy will assist teachers in addressing the unique learning styles of many students in their classroom.  The participants will be given opportunities to explore mathematical relationships, develop skills and communicate their ideas through multiple representations.
