Did you know: most students do not receive reading instruction past grade 6? That you’re not supposed to read a science textbook like a novel? Have you encountered a reading strategy, but wondered how to use it in a science classroom? Join us as we discuss popular strategies, and brainstorm together how to apply them in *your* class. NB: Jennifer taught physics for 10 yrs before learning formal pedagogy, and was a little bit mad to find that no one taught her how to read a science textbook :)
As conversations around AI often focus on misuse, it is essential to shift toward empowering students to use AI ethically. At Ozarks Tech, after students showed interest in learning more, we hosted an event to explore their engagement with AI. This presentation will showcase AI prompts that help students manage time, create study guides, and boost performance ethically. We welcome a discussion on how others are guiding students to use AI effectively.
Learning Objectives define what knowledge and skills your students will be assessed on. Bloom’s Taxonomy provides a framework from which we can scaffold our instruction and assessment. Every LO must be measured! This workshop session will discuss the nuts and bolts of using Bloom’s Taxonomy to assist in writing Learning Objectives. We plan on ample time for you to write and get feedback on LO for your favorite course (that you teach). Plan to engage in solo and small-group work.
