PARTNERSHIP FOR AMBITIOUS SCIENCE TEACHER LEADERS PASTL is a unique collaboration between Puget Sound ESD, Olympic ESD, Northwest ESD, University of Washington’s Ambitious Science Teaching Development Group, the Physics Education Research Group at Seattle Pacific University, Federal Way School District and Bellevue School District. 201 Summer Institute Summary This summer, 50 science teachers participated in a crossdistrict/crossregional twoweek summer institute purposed at developing the Partnership for Ambitious Science Teacher Leaders, “PASTL”, a MathScience Partnership Grantfunded project. Teachers experienced, learned and began collaborating around a set of highleverage teaching practices, aligned to NGSS, that support teachers in developing a highly rigorous and equitable learning environment. Teacher Learning was Focused on Seven Elements of Ambitious Science Teaching 1. ANCHOR LEARNING: Teachers anchor students’ ongoing learning experience in the press to understand complex and puzzling science phenomena. 2. STUDENTSIDEAS USED AS RESOURCES: Students’ everyday ideas, experiences, and questions are treated as resources for the classroom community to advance everyone’s thinking. 3. COMPLEX UNDERSTANDINGS GET BUILT OVER TIME: Learning experiences are sequenced to help students build toward cumulative understandings of “big science ideas.” 4. TALKING IS THINKING: Teachers provide varied opportunities for students to reason through talk. 5. STUDENTS ENGAGE IN SCIENCE PRACTICES FOR PURPOSE: Students are apprenticed into using ensembles of scientific practices to test ideas they believe are important to their developing explanations and models. 6. MAKING THINKING VISIBLE AND “WORKING ON IDEASTOGETHER: Student thinking is made visible and subject to critique by the classroom community 7. SCAFFOLD TALK, WRITING & PARTICIPATION: Students have access to specialized tools and routines that support their attempts at sciencespecific forms of writing, talk, and participation in activity. Everyone participates, no one is left behind. PASTL Summer Institute Summary 1

Facts and terminology learned as needed while developing explanations and designing solutions supported by evidence-based arguments and reasoning

Systems thinking and modeling to explain phenomena and to give a context for the ideas to be learned

Students conducting investigations solving problems and engaging in discussions with teachersrsquo guidance

Students discussing open-ended questions that focus on the strength of the evidence used to generate claims

Students reading multiple sources including science-related magazine and journal articles and web-based resources students developing summaries of information

Multiple investigations driven by studentsrsquo questions with a range of possible outcomes that collectively lead to a deep understanding Ƥ

Student writing of journals reports posters and media presentations that explain and argue

Students conducting investigations solving problems and engaging in discussions with teachersrsquo guidance

Students discussing open-ended questions that focus on the strength of the evidence used to generate claims

Students reading multiple sources including science-related magazine and journal articles and web-based resources students developing summaries of information
