Day Two, July 29, 10-2 CDT (4 free credit hours)
This virtual workshop and livestream event will focus on assessment for Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Participants will explore the relevancy and authenticity of agriculture and learn why agricultural literacy is important to society.
We’ll share best practices for assessing three-dimensional learning, as well as compare and contrast tasks designed for instruction and assessment created by the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture to explore science through the lens of agriculture.
Guest speakers from the agricultural community will share their experiences to reinforce disciplinary core ideas (DCIs) and science and engineering practices (SEPs) and provide a real-world perspective.
