nicely done folks. Not disregarding any of the TCT information, I feel like the most critical words spoken occured between 30:50 and 32:15. I am afraid that teachers will focus only on teaching the PE’s and not work on getting students better at the SEP’s and CCC’s. If we can plan our curriculum based on the DCI’s(content) by using the framework, like we always have, and THEN build in the other 2 dimensions as you approach each DC we will have 3D teaching. We must have students “practice the practices” often, and we must help them thnk about these ideas in different ways (the CCC’s). We learned in our network meetings over the past 3 years that some of these SEP’s really pair up well when creating a 3D experience as indicated in the current TCT’s. For example analyzing data and then making a claim (constructing explanations) or asking questions followed by planning an investigation around one of those questions.
This isnt nearly as scary as it seemed 2 years ago. 🙂

Great job of discussing the TCT info. This should be a must “watched” video for all science teachers as well as principals to get a better understanding of this process!
