SUMMARY:Kata In the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:SES600-3; One session\, 1-day \nRegistration required.  \nKata in the Classroom (KIC) is a hands-on exercise to introduce the scientific pattern of the Improvement Kata in school classrooms. It is targeted at Middle School Science teachers\, but is used in a variety of K-12 and even College educational settings. Kata in the Classroom involves the activity of assembling a 15-piece cardboard jigsaw puzzle several times\, and experimenting with ways to do it faster.   \nThe KIC exercise combines a practical scientific pattern (the “Improved Kata”) with techniques of deliberate practice\, to help make scientific thinking a teachable skill that anyone can learn. Teams of students (a) establish a baseline\, (b) face a Challenge\, (c) develop a next Target Condition on the way to the Challenge and (d) conduct experiments toward that Target Condition. While the students are engaged in a challenging game they are simultaneously being introduced to a scientific meta skill. KIC helps teach universal STEM skills for achieving challenging goals along uncharted paths: (1) Scientific and Creative Thinking – generate and refine solutions to obstacles through experimentation (2) Collaboration – work in a team to accomplish a next goal on the way to a larger challenge (3) Communication – organize thoughts\, data & findings\, and share them effectively.   \n Register
