Science Literacy Series #4: Argumentation—Beyond CER 01/27/2027
9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Light continental breakfast and networking beginning at 8:30am
The Science Literacy for All Learning Series is designed for K–12 educators seeking practical, research-informed strategies that integrate reading, writing, speaking, listening, and evidence-based reasoning into high-quality science instruction aligned with the California Next Generation Science Standards (CA NGSS).
Participants will explore how disciplinary literacy supports students in making sense of scientific phenomena, analyzing evidence, developing explanations, and communicating their ideas. The series is particularly valuable for elementary educators who teach science across multiple content areas, while also providing secondary educators with strategies to deepen student thinking and strengthen the application of the Science and Engineering Practices across disciplines.
Strengthen science instruction and empower students to think, communicate, and make sense of the world like scientists.
Each stand-alone session will focus on a key area of science literacy and provide participants with:
Practical strategies ready for classroom use
Opportunities for collaboration and professional discussion
Connections to the CA NGSS and Science and Engineering Practices
Dedicated time to plan for classroom implementation
Join us to build inclusive, literacy-rich science learning experiences that provide all students with meaningful opportunities to investigate, reason, communicate, and make sense of science.
