Lessons From the June High School Science Exams: Moving Towards Cluster Questions
In this completely asynchronous online course, we will take a deep dive into the June Biology and Earth and Space Science exams to reflect on our practice and determine how to best help our students moving forward. Using the NYSSLS Standards and Performance Level Descriptions (PLDs) we will analyze the exams and apply this knowledge to develop effective cluster-type questions and engaging activities. As different schools handled the NYSSLS roll-out differently, we can learn from each other and collaborate to move forward. Tools (including AI) and strategies will be shared and there will be time to develop question sets and lessons you can use with your students.
