This document outlines the agenda for a teacher professional development day focused on science instruction. The agenda includes introductions and icebreakers, reviewing student performance outcomes and literacy strategies, sharing lesson plans, and planning for campus implementation. Teachers will discuss challenges in teaching science and strategies to address investigation, perspectives, communication, and taking action performance outcomes.
