In a session at the 2019 TPS Eastern Region Conference in Pittsburgh about the power of the TPS Teachers Network. I was reminded that this would be a great place to share some resources I put together as part of my participation in the conference.

Here's a document I created with resources from two sessions I facilitated at the conference:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mQGTWpKd3KtLdoapD0qu1Sk5vb1HGDllup9tACztjgQ

The guiding questions for these two sessions are below:

• As we construct maps, models, and historical narratives, what decisions are we making about what and whom to include in our explanations and arguments?
• How might teachers and their students:
  • use primary sources and students’ questions to spark multiple/parallel inquiry trajectories?
  • leverage discipline-specific tools and traditions (i.e., science, engineering, history, civics, arts) to deepen and respond to those inquiries?
  • connect classroom learning to taking informed action in the broader community?

In this document you'll find: (1) Session titles and guiding questions, (2) slideshow, (3) links to resources I created as well as relevant resources from the LOC, (4) links to routines I used, (5) possible classroom inquiry questions that might be used with the items we engaged with, and (6) relevant TPS Teacher Learning Goals.

I've used this format for another workshop and shared it in a previous discussion thread: https://tpsteachersnetwork.org/tps-professional-development-facilitators/structure-for-sharing-facilitator-resources-from-tpsncheamf-workshop-on-nasa-and-aviation?cid=49979

I was also so excited to see Ann Rivera use this format for her presentation today, too, to share more about her work with teachers on argumentation.
