The Schoolwide Enrichment Model in Science: A Hands-On Approach for Engaging Young Scientists

By June Behrens

Grounded in decades of research, the Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) has been successfully implemented at hundreds of schools across the world. Now, The Schoolwide Enrichment Model in Science: A Hands-on Approach for Engaging Young Scientists takes high-engagement learning one step further by applying SEM teaching strategies to the science curriculum. In this book, teachers learn how to engage students and to teach the skills needed to complete meaningful, in-depth investigations in science. Activities are connected to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and current policy recommendations calling for the meaningful integration of technology and promoting thinking and doing like young scientists over rote memorization. Easy to read and use, the book incorporates many practical suggestions, as well as reproducible student and teacher handouts. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Pretty dated, but lovely illustrations

I liked the definitions they provided for the most part, but not as many illustrations as a lot of other children's dictionaries.

A great find!

What a wonderful dictionary for elementary school age children. I wish I had bought it a year ago. The print is large and well spaced and that makes it easy for younger students to find words without help. There are colorful photos and illustrations on every page. The definitions are easy to read and understand. There are photos of the presidents and maps in the back. A really nice addition to our children's library!
