Episode 83 | Jaclyn Russell - Professional Development, the NGSS, and Kindergarten

In May 2018 FPU will graduate the first group of Master’s degree students, who have been scholarshipped by AIMS in the present manner.  During the Summer of 2018 we will be hearing from some of them on ZPC.

Jaclyn Russell joins Chris in the studio to discuss her thesis topic in which she sought to understand the relationship between teachers experience with professional learning around the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and how much time is spent in teaching scientific concepts to our earliest of learners, kindergarteners.  She also created a piece of professional learning for a group of teachers which included a simple daily format for teachers to provide lessons that incorporate science and scientific processes to these children.
