This thought leadership edWebinar is designed for middle and high school STEM teachers and administrators seeking effective strategies to support the three-dimensional learning framework of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
The goal of this edWebinar is to demonstrate how incorporating STEM videos and interactive quizzes into instruction can deepen student understanding of core science concepts while reinforcing the three dimensions of the NGSS: Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs), Crosscutting Concepts (CCCs), and Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs). Attendees will:
- Understand how STEM video and quiz resources align with the three-dimensional learning framework
- See real examples of three-dimensional lessons enhanced by video content
- Learn how to seamlessly integrate these tools into lesson plans, labs, and formative assessments
- Explore ways to increase student engagement and retention through multimodal learning
Attendees will leave with practical insights and examples they can apply immediately in the classroom or across their school or district to elevate science instruction through multimodal, standards-aligned learning.
