Effective Discourse Strategies & 3-Dimensional Assessments for the Science Classroom

Join this session to explore effective and practical student discourse strategies that promote inclusive and productive classroom discourse. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of shifts in classroom talk patterns, like moving away from the I-R-E talk pattern and towards Productive Talk. Additionally, we will dive into how 3-dimensional assessments, called performance tasks, are developed, learn how to find and evaluate high-quality 3-dimensional assessments online, which will lead to a deeper understanding of how the AzSCI test items were developed and help educators increase student achievement.
