SUMMARY:SOLS: Regen Ag Writing
DESCRIPTION:Solutions Oriented Learning Storyline: Regenerative Agriculture Writing Workshop (Western WA)\n(By invitation only) \nPEI is looking for a small team of educators with expertise in writing and a willingness to strengthen their understanding and skills in curriculum development\, climate science solutions\, instructional best practices; including formative assessment\, teacher professional development\, Tribal\, rural\, bilingual and migrant education. The project will be rooted in rigorous science education while linking to local questions\, problems\, issues and opportunities to engage students that historically have been underserved in science. \nThree-dimensional storylines with anchoring phenomena\, formative assessments and 7E (engage\, explore\, ecosystem\, elders\, explain -students explain not sages on stages -expand\, and evaluate) activities that build towards performance expectations to ensure 3-dimensional NGSS instruction is taught\, with assessments/rubrics to help teachers determine student growth. The storylines will build student understanding and problem solving around local environmental challenges related to food and food sovereignty\, land use and management\, agriculture\, aquaculture\, forestry\, land management and renewable energy. \nOur project intends to provide educators with classroom instructional tools and professional development to effectively teach climate science through storylines. We are focusing the work on six important anchors:  \n\nStrategies to work with local tribes to center Indigenous ways of knowing; \n3-D NGSS assessment tools to demonstrate student growth; \nStrategies and tools for formative assessment to strengthen inclusive teacher instruction for all learners; \nLocally\, relevant\, place-based topics; \nLessons to calculate and implement solutions to draw down greenhouse gases and\, \nStrategies to elevate student voice.\n\nParticipants who attend all sessions and complete all work will receive:\n\n\n10.5 Washington State Approved STEM clock hours\nA $750 participation stipend
