Invitation for Minnesota Science Teachers
We would like to invite you to apply to be part of Building Capacity for Science Assessment: Science MCA-IV Item Writing Workshop in the summer of 2020. The workshop will be 4 1/2 days total, starting with a half-day virtual training on June 12, followed by in-person meetings on June 24-25 and July 7-8. Approximately 10-15 additional hours may be needed outside of these dates to complete the writing assignments. This summer, we are focused on writing engaging grade-level phenomena tied to the 2019 Minnesota Science Standards and also generating question ideas for each phenomenon. We hope that the summer 2020 workshop goals generate creative thinking, engage with your unique teaching approaches, and build a repository of engaging phenomena for the Science MCA-IV.
If you are interested in being part of this MCA-IV item writer workshop this year, contact us for more information or enter your information by April 3, 2020 at this location www.surveymonkey.com/r/2020MCAWriter.
We encourage any teachers and educators interested in becoming a Science item writer to apply. We want to grow the impact teachers have on our Science MCA-IV assessment and look forward to engaging with more teachers around the state. If you have colleagues that might be interested in participating, please share this information.
