Prof. Dev.
Build A YAG
Hosted: August 2022
In this session, we're going to focus on organizing and using all of the resources you have gathered this summer, to ensure that your good ideas in the now aren't lost and forgotten.
We're going to learn:
Digital Lesson Planning
Backwards Planning techniques (how curriculum writers think)
How to breakdown a standard (and how to find your REAL standards to break down)
How to set your time from start to test day
Take OAIM and Fire
As science teachers, we expect students to write functional procedures. But, how does one WRITE a procedure? Did anyone ever teach you? Did you learn from the theory-to-solution method? Did the "alien lab" help you out? Or was it just routine practice that allowed you to make something that looked/felt right?
In today's session, we're going to learn about my method for procedure writing, OAIM. We'll focus on:
What is OAIM?
How do I teach it to my students?
What is the scaffolding process?
Limitations of OAIM
My research on the subject
If interested, I will also discuss my time with my graduate program where I wrote OAIM as my not-a-thesis-but-essentially-a-thesis to complete my MS in Chemistry from South Dakota State University.
PDs I Likely Won't Repeat
For whatever reason, these are sessions that still have some good information, but I likely won't repeat them. I'll include them here (because I don't want you to not have them), but I doubt I will repeat these live.
Note: Many of these documents are from 2020 or before.
