Talking Science: Engaging Students in Academically Productive Talk


For grades 6-12
June 21-22, Lexington
Do you have a wealth of strategies to provide all student opportunities to cognitively engage in productive science talk?

Learn how to facilitate conversations – an integral part of learning science. Explore strategies to engage students as they discuss observations, explain evidence, share their wonderings, and help each other make connections.

Join PIMSER this summer as we explore together and reflect on application of classroom strategies to engage all students cognitively in scientific talk. Learning is social and a necessary aspect of any discipline. The strategies focus on collaborative science talk - student-to-student, student-to-teacher, and teacher-to-student conversations - as an integral part of learning science.

You will leave this series with:
  • strategies to engage students in academically productive talk
  • strategies for creating a culture of productive talk and establishing talk norms
  • a variety of talk formats and talk moves to support student conversations
Audience: science teachers and coaches grades 6-12

Schedule: 15 hours of PD credit
June 21-22, 9am-4pm EST (in-person in Lexington)
Two additional 90-minute sessions during the 2022-23 academic year (fall semester, dates/times will be set at June meetings). The virtual sessions will be an opportunity to examine other opportunities for productive academic talk, share classroom experiences, and refine skills.
