Reflective questions for consideration
Consider the following questions when developing, implementing, and reflecting on course plans.
How can my plans:
- incorporate student voice, choice, and lived experiences to support engagement and understanding?
- honour and value varied realities of students and communities through the use of diverse resources, examples, and pedagogical approaches?
- incorporate tasks that are respectful and reflective of high expectations for all students?
- support the multiple ways assessment information should be collected (e.g., conversations, observations, products)?
- support students in making connections between the curriculum expectations and real-life experiences including developments, research, and innovation in STEM fields?
- support students in exploring pathways and connections associated with various STEM-related careers?
- provide hands-on learning experiences enabling students to deepen their understanding of the science they are learning and improve their STEM skills?
- support academic success by providing students with a range of opportunities to demonstrate their understanding of science concepts and apply STEM skills as evidence of learning?
