Dive into the new Science TEKS with a focus on the Scientific and Engineering Practices (SEPs) and Recurring Themes and Concepts (RTCs) to uncover how they lay the foundation for three-dimensional teaching. In this interactive session, we'll explore how the TEKS layer together to address the what, how, and thinking behind student learning. Participants will gain clarity on integrating SEPs and RTCs into instruction using state resources, TEKS Resource System, and the district adopted materials to ensure students develop a deep understanding of science concepts while honing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Walk away with practical strategies to align your teaching with the new standards! The workshop will be held at the Kissam campus. **This session is only for Chapel Hill ISD.

Teaching students the six syllable types help them understand how to break longer words into manageable parts. It allows them to read longer words more accurately and fluently, helps to build their confidence as readers, and gives them a strategy for attacking these longer, more challenging words! When we align our instruction to the Science of Reading, we know that teaching these different syllable types to our students will help them decode bigger, more complex words and become more effective readers!
