High School STEELS Regionwide PLC Workshop
|
|
This two-part, full-day professional learning experience is
designed for high school science educators (Grades 9–12) implementing the
Pennsylvania STEELS Standards across the region. The workshops focus on
secondary-level instructional shifts, including the use of complex,
discipline-specific phenomena; supporting increasingly sophisticated student
sensemaking; and strengthening coherence across high school science courses.
Through collaborative, inquiry-based learning, participants will deepen their
understanding of three-dimensional, phenomena- and problem-driven instruction,
examine how STEELS expectations progress in rigor across grades 9–12, and apply
the STEELS Classroom Implementation Descriptors to high school instructional
planning, assessment, and classroom practice. Across the two High School STEELS
PLC workshops, participants will collaboratively analyze instructional
practices, share high school–specific resources and assessment strategies, and
problem-solve common implementation challenges, such as supporting productive
discourse, balancing content coverage with sensemaking, and assessing
multidimensional learning in credit-bearing courses. The workshops emphasize
practical application, peer collaboration, and PLC-based reflection, resulting
in actionable strategies and shared tools that participants can immediately
implement to strengthen STEELS-aligned instruction and student learning in high
school science classrooms.
