Welcome to Teacher Summer Institute 2017! For the first time ever, Boston Public Schools and the Boston Teachers Union are co-hosting an academic conference for teachers. TSI will focus on highlighting the best practices of some of our most passionate urban educators across BPS. Teachers, central office staff, and valued members of our community will join together to help bring a shared vision for instruction to life across the district. Please note, this is open to all educators, and is not exclusively for new teachers. We hope to see you there!
In this workshop, teachers explore how EBA activities transfer cognitive demand from teacher to student, and foster scientific inquiry and student voice. Participants experience three EBA activities that help students speak, write, read, and collaborate critically in science classrooms, and develop ideas to implement these activities in their own classrooms.
