Webinar: Engaging Students with Integrated Inquiry in Science and Social Studies
Free STEM webinar, part of our Educator Preparation Fall Faculty Webinar Series.
Get a brief overview of the inquiry and engineering models supported in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the College, Career, and Civic Life Social Studies Framework (C3). Practice creating a unit outline with others teaching the same grade level. You'll work with a real-life issue connected to both science and social studies standards. We'll talk about how to implement this in a remote setting as well.
Audience: K-5 science and social studies teachers
