Consider what student work on assessments of key concepts tells us about teacher expectations, student learning, and student success in the life sciences.
Work collaboratively to integrate Common Core State Standards. Specifically, discuss how current summative assessments address the first Common Core State Standard for Writing in Science,
grades 9-12: Introduce precise claim(s), distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims, and create an organization that establishes clear relationships among the claim(s), counterclaims,
reasons, and evidence. supplying data and evidence for each while pointing out the strengths and limitations of both claim(s) and counterclaims in a discipline-appropriate form and in a manner that
anticipates the audience’s knowledge level and concerns. http://www.corestandards.org/assets/CCSSI_ELA%20Standards.pdf
Gain a greater understanding of how we approach instruction and formative assessments that lead to these summative assessments.
Continue fostering conversation and collaboration across secondary and postsecondary levels after this summit.
