Launch the school year with confidence by learning how to effectively internalize science slide decks and unpack the TEKS to plan meaningful, standards-aligned instruction. Participants will explore strategies for identifying key concepts, scientific practices, and success criteria within upcoming units while preparing engaging back-to-school laboratory experiences that establish classroom routines and expectations for scientific inquiry. Teachers will leave with a process for lesson internalization, TEKS unpacking tools, and ready-to-use ideas for implementing high-quality science labs from the first weeks of school.
