Specifically, she (and 4 other panelists) will discuss how they are infusing California\u2019s environmental practices into all science curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>To an audience of some 100-plus educators, Mrs. Gersbacher will offer ways teachers can stay current and relevant to the conservation ideology called for in the NGSS. California is one of only a few states that has environmental practices written into its curriculum. Mrs. G, as the students call her, explains how &#8220;the intent it is to create students who are environmentally literate and able to make social &amp; personal decisions that facilitate interactions with our natural systems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As a panelist, she has been asked to respond to the following questions: How have you included environmental literacy in your course? How have you integrated NGSS and the EP&amp;C\u2019s? What challenges have you overcome in doing so? What advice do you have for those just getting started integrating EP&amp;Cs into NGSS? (Tips and Tools).<\/p>\n<p>She will also answer questions from the audience of science educators. Under the leadership of Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School district instructional science coaches Jenner Rasic and William Truong, District science educators are on the cutting edge of science instruction in California.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18316\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/El-Camino-Real-High-Science-NGSS-Panel-Teacher-12-11-19-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18316\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18316\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/El-Camino-Real-High-Science-NGSS-Panel-Teacher-12-11-19-2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Mrs. Gersbacher pictured here on a field trip to Griffith Observatory.\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/El-Camino-Real-High-Science-NGSS-Panel-Teacher-12-11-19-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/El-Camino-Real-High-Science-NGSS-Panel-Teacher-12-11-19-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/El-Camino-Real-High-Science-NGSS-Panel-Teacher-12-11-19-2.jpg 938w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18316\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Mrs. Gersbacher pictured here on a field trip to Griffith Observatory.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to El Camino Real High School&#8217;s Integrated Science teacher, Mrs. Lisa Gersbacher, who was selected to serve as a panelist at the California Next&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":18315,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-high-school"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18314"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18314\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
