Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning (CER) is a difficult concept for students because it requires that they follow a “formula” to explain their thinking. Using CER students must take a stance, back it up with data, and with their scientific understanding of the concepts and labs. We will look at how to create scientific and engineering experiences that help students develop, analyze, critique, and defend arguments that reinforce CER conclusions. Please bring your technology

Skillfully crafted connections are a critical component to building masterpieces that will stand the test of time. Whether those connections are in life, teaching, analyzing texts, or constructing skyscrapers, the individual parts cannot create the "castle" until they are carefully connected. Let's learn how to connect the pieces of literacy to build masterful readers and writers in our classrooms. Acclaimed authors and speakers will be joining us this year as we focus on the interconnected nature of reading and writing. Each presenter will provide practical and proven strategies for effectively teaching reading and writing as reciprocal processes. Join us for two days of fun, food, fellowship, and freebies! GT credit available.
