2. Overview Theoretical Framework 4E x 2 Instructional Model Lesson Exemplars Dynamic Web Tool Current Research

3. THREE KEY CONSTRUCTS Inquiry-Based Model –No widely accepted models in math –Gaps in science models Formative Assessment –Assessment at all stages of instruction –Focus on Student Thinking Reflective Practice –Decisions and improvements

4. CONTENT-EMBEDDED INQUIRY Mathematical/Scientific Processes –Problem-Solving –Communication –Reasoning (and proof) –Connections –Representation Standards-Focused

5. 4E x 2 INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL Engage Explore Explain Extend AssessmentAssessment ReflectionReflection

6. ASSESSMENT PORTION OF 4E x 2 Engage Explore Explain Extend AssessmentAssessment Formative assessment central to dynamic learning model: Engage: Assess prior knowledge Explore: Assess process of investigative skills Explain: Assess critical thinking, communication skills, ability to synthesize data Extend: Assess level of application of concepts and ideas

7. REFLECTION PORTION OF 4E x 2 Engage Explore Explain Extend ReflectionReflection Reflective practice deepens meta-learning opportunities: Engage—brainstorm ideas, KWL, link to prior lesson Explore—design, formulate an investigation Explain—evaluate what was learned and what needs to be improved in future studies Extend—communicate how learning applies to new ideas

8. LESSON EXEMPLARS Teacher-Constructed –Targeted at Key Standards –Contextually-Based –Guided by 4E x 2 Instructional Model Piloted and Modified Can be Published for Others
