Sample Presentation
TRANSPARENCY: Points To Be Made - Standards.

Presenter: This purpose of this activity is to share the goals that have shaped the design of workshop activities. Today’s workshop is designed to demonstrate that

• Project 2061 is promoting the reform of education in natural science, social science, mathematics, and technology.

• A thorough understanding of science literacy and learning goals is essential for effective teaching.

• Study and use of SFAA and Benchmarks can increase users’ science literacy—knowledge of science, mathematics, and technology and their connections.

• Benchmarks complements the National Research Council’s National Science Education Standards (NSES) and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards.

• Use of SFAA and Benchmarks can inform the design of activities for science literacy curricula.

Hand out the workshop agenda.

Presenter: During the workshop you will have opportunities to carefully examine SFAA and Benchmarks and use these tools to inform the design of K-12 science literacy curricula¾ that is, curricula that help students understand important ideas in science, mathematics, and technology and the interconnections among ideas in these domains.  

Then, briefly describe how each agenda item should contribute to the goals.
