  • The framework is built around three major dimensions: scientific and engineering practices; cross-cutting concepts that unify the study of science and engineering; and core ideas in four disciplinary areas—physical sciences, life sciences, earth and space sciences, and engineering, technology, and the applications of science.
  • In setting the stage for the framework, the committee points to its concerns about the current state of science education in the United States. “It is not organized systematically across multiple years of school, emphasizes discrete facts with a focus on breadth over depth, and does not provide students with engaging opportunities to experience how science is actually done,” the document says. “The framework is designed to directly address and overcome these weaknesses.”
  • “Engineering and technology are featured alongside the natural sciences ... for two critical reasons: to reflect the importance of understanding the human-built world, and to recognize the value of better integrating the teaching and learning of science, engineering, and technology,”

AALF Articles - Student Voice and 1:1--Three Considerations - 0 views

  • Student Voice goes way beyond the words “student” and “voice”. It is a process that impacts every student, the staff, and the way a school site does business; a shift in attitude and perspective if you will. Imagine empowering students with meaningful purposes and accompanying tools that will empower them to be effective Academic Leaders for themselves, their peers, their educators, their parents, and in short their school and community.
  • We all learn from one another, and perhaps that is the most exciting aspect of Student Voice work…we all become learners and leaders! We know that in order for scaled-up collaboration to be effective, we must focus on the same framework.
  • You have to be more focused and intentional in order for Student Voice to be effective, and you have to understand that while Student Voice is about academic success, the work itself will lead to new perspectives, reframing conversations, and new values for all stakeholders like those included in the AALF whitepaper titled, “The Right to Learn”

  • Too much technology can impede our happiness. We have to disconnect. Akbari suggests to go on periodic media fasts, a “technology cleanse”, if you will. Turn off your phone and drink some wine.
