TEACHING STANDARD A:
Teachers of science plan an inquiry-based science program for their students. In
doing this, teachers
- Select science
content and adapt and design curricula to meet the interests, knowledge,
understanding, abilities, and experiences of students.
- Select teaching and
assessment strategies that support the development of student understanding
and nurture a community of science learners.
TEACHING STANDARD B:
Teachers of science guide and facilitate learning. In doing this, teachers
- Recognize and respond
to student diversity and encourage all students to participate fully in
science learning.
- Encourage and model
the skills of scientific inquiry, as well as the curiosity, openness to new
ideas and data, and skepticism that characterize science.
TEACHING STANDARD D:
Teachers of science design and manage learning environments that provide
students with the time, space, and resources needed for learning science. In
doing this, teachers
- Structure the time
available so that students are able to engage in extended investigations.
- Make the available
science tools, materials, media, and technological resources accessible to
students.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARD A:
Professional development for teachers of science requires learning essential
science content through the perspectives and methods of inquiry. Science
learning experiences for teachers must
- Involve teachers in
actively investigating phenomena that can be studied scientifically,
interpreting results, and making sense of findings consistent with currently
accepted scientific understanding.
- Introduce teachers to
scientific literature, media, and technological resources that expand their
science knowledge and their ability to access further knowledge.
