ESTEP for 6th Grade Teachers
The ESTEP 6th grade professional development is a one week, bootcamp style, regional workshop that incorporates earth and space science content with teaching strategies to get you thinking about changing your teacher craft to help your students make sense of science. We’ll walk you through investigations that you can use no matter where you are in your transition to the new standards - you'll learn about phenomena, storylines and 3-dimensional strategies by DOING the science! See the attached flyer for more information! Feel free to share with your colleagues!
- July 10 - 14 at Scott Highlands Middle School, Apple Valley
- July 17 - 21 at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College, Cloquet
