PULSE Science Summit for K-8 Schools
PULSE Science Summit for K-8 Schools
The goal of the PULSE Summit is to support schools in their endeavor to provide every
student effective science instruction with integrated disciplinary literacy. District and
school level leadership hold the keys to professional learning and administrative support
necessary to make science study equitable for ALL our students!
Science instruction offers rich learning experiences that are multidimensional and filled
with opportunities for creative exploration, discussions, and collaboration. The 3-
dimensions of science support a comprehensive vision of how all students deserve to
learn. At this conference, opportunities for notebooking, discussion, explanation, and
reflection will demonstrate how ELA standards are practiced and applied in the context
of science.
Recognizing that lack of time is often used to explain why science learning is not given
the priority it deserves, conference facilitators will provide examples & student work
demonstrating how science investigations connect to and support language arts.
This summit, along with two follow up sessions, is designed to support rich science
learning experiences in your schools and to explore strategies for creating time and
space for science by integrating curriculum, especially literacy and math.
Arizona’s 3-Dimensional Science Standards also provide opportunities for learners to
develop confidence and make use of their cultural heritages, assets, and ways of
knowing – their funds of knowledge.
PESI recognizes that more than a year of online learning, achievement declined, along
with test scores. Now, everyone is concerned with helping those students catch up.
Research shows that challenging children with accelerated, grade-level work is more
effective in catching them up than remedial strategies focused on learning what they
should have mastered in previous grades.
Parents care that their children receive a strong science education!
Next Generation Science & Disciplinary Literacy for All Students
Students come to school to learn about the world around them. This summit will help you prepare your school to ensure ALL students are receiving effective science instruction.
