2 Presentation Outline Overview of Integrated/Coordinated Science (ICS) What is ICS? Why teach ICS? Who enrolls in ICS? Implications of ICS for Subsequent Science Course Taking Which science courses do students take after ICS? What is the impact of ICS on subsequent science courses? Improving ICS Instruction 2

3 What is Integrated/Coordinate Science (ICS)? Four portions: Earth Science, Physics,, and Can be taught as four separate courses (ICS 1, ICS 2, ICS 3, ICS 4) This presentation focuses on ICS 1 ICS 1 targets 9th grade students Conceptual rather than mathematical Taught for over a decade Part of the California Standards Testing Program 3

4 It s About Time ICS Curriculum Research-based instructional program Aligned to National Science Education Standards Four week independent units or projects Pedagogy designed to highlight: science learning as an active process student-directed scientific inquiry connections to prior knowledge knowledge transfer assessment of student understanding and misconceptions 4

5 Why Teach Integrated/Coordinated Science? Increase positive student interest and engagement in science Develop widely applicable critical thinking skills Provide a foundation for future science courses Improve student achievement in science Only requires a secondary science credential Part of the California Standards Testing Program 5

16 What is the Impact of ICS on Subsequent Science CSTs? Objective: Compare biology and chemistry CST results based on the science course taken in 9th grade. Data: Three years of matched student-level CST data Population: Students who entered 9th grade in 2003 and took the biology CST as 10th grader in 2004 and chemistry CST as 11th grader in 2005 (n=8,055) 16

17 What is the Impact of ICS on Subsequent Science CSTs? Value Added Approach: compare actual CST results to predicted results Use OLS Regression Models to Predict CST Scale Scores: 2004 = b 0 + b 1 (ELA 2003 ) + b 2 (Math 2003 ) + PreAlg PostAlg e 2005 = b 0 + b 1 (ELA 2003 ) + b 2 (Math 2003 ) + PreAlg PostAlg e 17

23 What is LAUSD Currently Doing to Improve ICS Instruction? Curriculum adoption Periodic assessments Differentiated professional development Observation-based evaluation classroom validation of curriculum implementation teacher training as a predictor of classroom practice classroom practice as a predictor of student performance Continue to monitor science performance based on different 23 science entry points and pathways
