Teaching Biology with "Es" - Student-Centered Lessons - 20904

Need ready-to-use, rigorous, engaging biology lessons? Join us for a hands-on workshop where participants will experience and receive classroom-ready 5E lessons designed to engage students at the rigor of the TEKS using research-tested best practices. Teachers will gain an understanding of how to implement effective learning activities that support a diversity of Biology students, including English learners and struggling learners through Tier 1 activities. Each lesson includes formative assessment that uncovers student misconceptions and components of Universal Design for Learning. This lesson series, developed by ESC Region 4, supports campus data-based decision making by allowing educators and campus leaders to choose sessions that target weak curricular areas. Teachers are provided with conceptually unified lesson that put students at the center.
