My goal this year is to re-write some assessment items for both Environmental courses.
My name is Stefany Critelli and I teach 5th grade in Niagara Falls at Niagara Street Elementary School. My science background is limited to the district 5th grade curriculum. We recently added a STEM lab in our school and our district is revising the science curriculum next year. My goal this year is to create more hands on assessment tasks and fully utilize the resources in the STEM lab.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Wendy Seguin and I teach 1st grade at Ohio Elementary School in North Tonawanda. I took a STEM class over the summer, from Niagara University, and I would like to learn more about integrating science into my daily lessons. I feel that with the ELA/Math push, I have been lacking in the science department :/

As a consultant teacher in 7th grade for 13 years, I am learning new curriculum as it has changed. I am looking for information and ideas from everyone else taking this course.
Nicole Neri, Lewiston Porter Intermediate Education Center, Consultant Teacher (Grades 4 &5). As a CT at the elementary level, I am looking for ways to plan more efficient instruction for science, since there is such a push on ELA and Math.
ReplyDeleteScholastic publications such as Science World have great articles and excellent support materials which have plenty of cross curricular applications to math and ELA.

As a first year consultant teacher in the middle school school I am looking for better ways to assess science and the ever changing curriculum.
Mark D. Beckett, Niagara Falls City School District. I am the Employment Coordinator for the district's Youth Employment Program. Prior to my appointment to this position this past September, I was a substitute teacher in the district's elementary schools for the last 10 years. I am certified Pre K - 6th Grade. I have taught science in all elementary grades, especially sixth grade. My goal is to find new and more engaging ways to assess students in science. Science can and should be fun for elementary students, this includes assessment.
