PRACTISE: Practicum-Based Professional Development - 2015 The Lawrence Hall of Science 2022-05-16 | The Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California, Berkeley and Graduate School of Education at Stanford University are designing, implementing, studying and documenting the efficacy of an innovative model for science professional development for elementary teachers. The Academy model consists of three components—a Summer Institute, a Summer Teaching Practicum, and academic year Follow-up sessions. The intensive, week-long summer Institute helps teachers learn to facilitate scientific discourse and, specifically, argumentation from evidence. Following the Institute, teachers spend two weeks in a teaching Practicum. In trios they teach science, including opportunities for argumentation, for two hours each morning in a summer school program, during which they are videotaped. Practicum teachers are immediately able to: practice new instructional strategies in a highly supported and “low stakes” environment; analyze videos of their own teaching; reflect on their practice and receive feedback from colleagues and coaches; then adapt their instructional practices for the following day. To test the efficacy of the practicum-based Academy model, the Hall team delivered two versions of the program—the full Academy and the Academy minus the Practicum. Over a 3-year period, we are comparing the practices of teachers and learning outcomes of their students who experienced the two versions.This is one of our NSF federally funded projects aimed at improving STEM and computer science education. This and the other videos in this playlist share strategies to broaden participation, increase access, and equity.

The Leonid Meteor Shower—See it November 16-17, 2020: A Search the Sky Activity The Lawrence Hall of Science 2020-11-06 | UPDATE: Before dawn on 11/17, your host observed three meteors in 45 minutes under a city sky—A decent result given the predictions. I also saw four bright satellites and enjoyed the rise of Venus.The mid-November Leonid Meteor Shower can be one of the most productive meteor showers of the year. Your host for this video saw over a hundred meteors in an hour in a city sky in 2001! It was an exceptional year. This year there is no forecast for greatness, but one never knows. At least the Moon will be out of the way, and its light will not interfere.The meteors in this shower are caused by small fragments of Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle.An “applet” from JPL and NASA that lets you see and explore the orbit of Comet 55P-Tempel-Tuttle, as well as other Solar System objects, is here:https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=55P%2FTempel-Tuttle;old=0;orb=1;cov=0;log=0;cad=0#orbThank you for watching The Lawrence at Home!
