Elementary teachers find little time to address hands-on, integrated, inquiry, problem-based (HIIP) learning during science; choosing instead to read non-fiction texts. HIIP learning, along with non-fiction texts, helps students construct understandings about an increasingly global and technological world. Presenters in this panel will share interactive ways to address HIIP learning with reading/language arts through the use of testable questions, text-sets, mentor texts, and dialogic meetings that effectively engage all participants in dynamic, democratic, and reflective conversations about their learning processes, experiences, and outcomes.
