CSSS WEBINAR:

webinar Learning Progressions in Science: An Overview

Presented by Aaron Rogat
Consortium for Policy and Research in Education (CPRE)
Teachers College, Columbia University

Originally aired Thursday, November 4, 2010, 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST

As a result of our participation in the regional reviews of the Conceptual Framework for Science Education Standards many Council members have expressed interest in learning more about the Learning Progressions (LPs) that were an explicit part of the Conceptual Frameworks. This is the recording of a webinar presented on November 4, 2010 to provide a deeper understanding of LPs to CSSS membership.

Podcasts - CSSS Annual Conference, Philadelphia - 2010

CSSS is happy to include links to the podcasts that were created at the CSSS Annual Conference in Philadelphia. Many thanks go to CSSS State member Anita Bernhardt (Maine) for her energy and expertise in capturing five of the presentations. The podcasts are as follows:

Listen Learning Progressions in Science: An Evidence-Based Approach to Reform - Tom Corcoran
The podcast captures this presentation well. There are one or two places that there had to be short splices. Nothing of significance is lost.

Listen Title IIB MSP Update - Miriam Lund, US Dept. of Ed.
For some reason we missed the first 10 minutes of the presentation. I think you can easily pick up where the recording starts. Miriam offers some specific advice about program operation and funding.

Listen Legislative Update – Vance Abbott, TCEB
The podcast captures this presentation well.

Listen Science Conceptual Framework and Standards - Tom Keller, and Brett Moulding, Board on Science Education
The podcast picks up with Tom Keller and the conversation that followed.

Listen Science College Board Standards - Chris Lazzaro
The podcast captures this presentation well.

Many thanks go to the talented folks at the Maine Learning Technology Initiative who supported the production of the podcasts.
