Learn how to best prepare students for the ACT Aspire Science Assessment while teaching the Arkansas K-12 Science Standards. Participants dive into the ACT Aspire Science Assessment and its connections to Arkansas Academic Standards in science, mathematics, and ELA by engaging in a series of virtual lessons. Science specialists support participants remotely as they work through digitally-adapted lessons. The exemplar lessons demonstrate how to engage students in analyzing data, examining cause and effect, reading to gather information, and applying reasoning to develop arguments based on evidence. Strategic use of formative assessment is modeled to assist teachers in developing these essential teaching skills. Participants will participate in discussions, complete assignments, and provide evidence of the application of tools/skills taught in this session.
