SUMMARY:Elementary Science Assessments: New Landscape Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Computational thinking is increasingly recognized as foundational to science learning — but finding validated tools to measure it in early grades is harder than it should be. \nIt’s one of the topics our webinar speakers were uniquely positioned to address. On Wednesday\, July 29\, Dr. Bill Penuel moderated a webinar with Drs. Megan Silander\, Sania Zaidi\, and Lukas Winfield from EDC.org — the leads behind the Elementary Science Collection\, housed as an Annenberg Institute’s EdInstruments collection. Together they  covered: \n\nWhat assessments currently exist for measuring early elementary science learning\nHow science assessment has evolved alongside NGSS and three-dimensional learning\nKey gaps and debates in the field\nHow to use the collection to find the right tools for your work\n\nMegan is a Principal Research Scientist at EDC and leads national and international initiatives advancing pre-K–12 education policy and programs. Sania is a Senior Research Scientist at EDC and an expert in assessment design and K–12 STEM instructional literacy. Lukas is an experienced mixed-methods researcher and evaluator of STEM education. \nStay tuned for the recording! Slides are available on the right sidebar.

SUMMARY:It’s a Win-Win: Spending Time on Elementary Science Supports Achievement Across Subject Areas
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, the Lawrence Hall of Science and CAESART explored how science teaching and learning in elementary classrooms can be a powerful lever for improving student learning across subjects. \nIn this interactive session\, participants: \n\nReflected on their own experiences and identify common barriers to making time for science in elementary classrooms.\nEngaged in integrated literacy and science learning activities that highlight instructional strategies to support growth in both disciplines.\nLearned about current research demonstrating how increased time on science instruction benefits learning across content areas.\n\nBy the end of the webinar\, participants had both evidence-based research and practical instructional strategies to advocate for expanding science time in their schools and classrooms.

SUMMARY:Science and Engineering Education as a Foundational Focus for High-Quality Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:The world should be a place of wonderment and satisfaction for young students as they explore\, investigate\, discover\, and solve problems that are meaningful to them. Young children have a natural curiosity and motivation to understand the world as budding scientists and engineers; however\, more work needs to be done to understand and support preschool and elementary learning and teaching leveraging the power of science and engineering as a foundational focus. \nThis webinar examined national efforts to bring science and engineering to the forefront of early education. The session: \n\nReviewed long-term national efforts to make science and engineering a greater focus of pk-5 education\nExplored the research evidence on how science and engineering can improve student-teacher interactions and support learning across multiple domains of development\nOffered insights into efforts to align instruction and assessment\, including the work of CAESART
