3125.F, CODE, STEM Teaching Tools: ACESSE Resource F — Seeing Facets, not Misconceptions: How to Build on the Range of Student Thinking in Instruction

(Open Education Resources for Science Education PD) This was copied directly from the website:  "Students bring a range of intellectual and cultural resources, which they have accumulated in their unique life experiences, into the classroom as they learn science. These resources can be considered different “facets” of student thinking. These resources may relate to their conceptual understanding of natural phenomena, their repertoires of practice when engaging in scientific activity, or their abilities to productively engage with school and classroom approaches to learning. Student’s facets of thinking can be leveraged to help students as they refine their understanding of science phenomena. This session introduces the facet-based approach, then engages participants in identifying facets in a batch of student work and in developing corresponding assessment rubrics, preparing them to use this approach in their own teaching.

This learning experience will help participants: Analyze cognitive formative assessment responses to surface the range of student thinking about science topics and concepts; Guide instruction based on that diversity of student ideas; Design and use classroom formative assessment tasks to support equitable 3D instruction. " Always review materials extensively before using them to align with goals, grade level appropriateness, topics, etc.
