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.
Discover how Spring ISD's 6 Core Systems for Transformation come alive in the science classroom through purposeful Turn and Talks, student discourse, and strategic questioning. Participants will explore practical strategies that increase student engagement, strengthen scientific thinking, and provide opportunities for checking for understanding. Teachers will leave with ready-to-implement discussion protocols, questioning techniques, and classroom structures that promote student ownership of learning and deepen science content understanding.
Get ready to maximize hands-on science learning by learning how to efficiently unpack, organize, inventory, and manage your new science equipment and consumable materials. Participants will explore practical systems for storage, labeling, replenishment, and classroom distribution that support seamless science investigations throughout the year. Teachers will leave with organizational strategies and ready-to-use management tools to ensure materials are accessible, organized, and inquiry-ready from day one.
