Welcome to the 2017 Tennessee Science Teachers Association Conference. We are excited about all the professional learning you will engage in as you plan out your conference schedule. The TSTA conference app will keep you updated with all the great things that will be occuring thoughout the conference. TSTA is going paperless and we encourage you to plan your schedule in advance using the app. Connect with friends and see who is signed up for a session you may want to attend. Create a profile and use social media in the app to share the exciting resources you find during the conference.
TSTA members please evaluate the conference so we can improve. Thank you in advance.
In this session, we will model and discuss various strategies to instruct ELL in the middle school (5-8) science classroom with an emphasis on language knowledge and application. We will be demonstrating hands-on activities that incorporate scientific vocabulary as well as engage and explore components of a science lesson based on the 5E Instructional Model (i.e. Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate). We will be sharing resources to instruct ELL that are data-driven.
