GOALS  OF PATHWAY: Develop school leaders’ capacity to identify the essential pieces of what it looks, sounds, and feels like when students and teachers are engaged in NGSS- designed teaching and learning. Develop school leaders’ understanding of what teachers will need in order to make this new vision a reality for all students.

HOW: Engage as learners in hands-on science investigations, including representing thinking through modeling and productive classroom talk.  Use tools for making thinking public that teachers and students use in NGSS-designed units, and explore tools that instructional leaders use in their work supporting teachers. Through video examples, reflect together on what it means for students and teachers to work together as a community, and how instructional leaders can support this work.  Begin to plan for changes in instructional contexts, and form networks while crafting concrete next steps.
