Integrating Authentic Scientific Reasoning
in the Classroom
Learn
research-based teaching strategies to strengthen students’ capacity
for problem solving.
On Day 1 (May 13), Dr. Judy Willis, neurologist, credentialed teacher at Santa Barbara (CA) Middle School and international speaker/consultant, will share findings derived from research and her own classroom experience in mathematics and science. In addition, Dr. Willis engages participants in exploring teaching strategies derived from research and her own classroom experience Dr. Willis is especially interested in the application of these strategies to mathematics and science.
On Day 2 (May 14), Participants choose from among the following topics for focus on the second day:
