Web Seminar 1: Introduction to the NSTA Sensemaking Tool

Discover the purpose, design, and structure of the NSTA Sensemaking Tool and how it reflects current research on the instructional shifts needed to teach three-dimensional science. Participants will explore how the tool supports lesson development using a single-point rubric design. Participants will also consider how using research-based criteria to identify opportunities to strengthen student sensemaking supports professional learning.

Helping students make sense of complex scientific ideas requires more than just content delivery—it requires purposeful, consistent opportunities for thinking, talking, and connecting ideas. Instructional routines are structured, repeatable strategies that create space for all students to engage in meaningful sensemaking.

As science education evolves, the shift toward three-dimensional (3D) teaching and learning—integrating disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and science and engineering practices—represents a transformative opportunity for educators and students alike. But with transformation comes challenge, and teachers need informed, sustained support as they reimagine their instructional practice.

Drawing on current research, classroom examples, and district case studies, this session will focus on:

Three-dimensional (3D) learning is at the heart of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and today’s science education reform—but what does it really look like in classrooms, and how can leaders support its implementation system wide?

Designed specifically for school and district leaders, this session will provide a clear vision of 3D learning in action and offer tools for identifying and supporting high-quality, three-dimensional instruction.
