2025 All Systems Go: A Teaching and Learning Conference: Full Schedule

9:00am CDT

Supporting Science and Engineering Reasoning through the RTCs (Secondary)

Tuesday June 24, 2025 9:00am - 9:50am CDT

In this course, we’ll explore how to use the new Recurring Themes and Concepts (RTCs) to guide students through the challenges of reasoning. With a special focus on advanced learners, we’ll equip you with strategies that push these students to reach their highest potential while fostering critical thinking skills. You'll gain practical techniques to deepen student thinking and enhance scientific communication.

Looking for ways to support students' needs and close the achievement gap, school districts have developed systems to monitor student academic progress and provide extra support to assess, monitor, and facilitate interventions that can meet the students where they are, and build on their knowledge and facilitate skills development. Due to the individual needs, and students' learning styles, differentiated learning and strategies should be implemented to facilitate students abilities and support their learning needs. Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), provides guidelines when it comes to monitor interventions and facilitates differentiated support for students. With more students in need of Tier 2 and Tier 3 instruction, the need for strategies that can facilitate learning, minimize distractions, facilitate student engagement, and maximize instructional time are needed to provide that support that students need. With these in mind the following research questions have been developed.

This session integrates resources from The University of Texas at Austin’s Energy Science and Technology Institute. The institute is a week-long summer workshop for high school STEM teachers. Using these resources, this session aims to expose STEM teachers to student-centered activities that can be used when teaching earth science and natural resources standards. In addition, these activities incorporate engineering design and encourage student critical thinking.
