The "Writing Conclusions Using the CER Framework" webinar was recorded in 2016. Once students analyze their data, it is time for them to use those data to write an experimental conclusion. While this can be a daunting task, many teachers have found the Claims-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) Framework can help students write a succinct, clear, and accurate conclusion to their investigation. In this Framework, students answer their investigational question (claim), support their answer with data from their investigations (evidence), and utilize key science ideas to explain the link between the evidence and claim (reasoning). This webinar will focus on strategies for using the CER Framework with middle and high school students as they write conclusions, and on additional applications of this Framework as students discuss and critique each other’s conclusions.   

The presenter, Rebecca Katsh-Singer, is a Ph.D. candidate in Curriculum and Instruction at Boston College. Her research focuses on the practices of science and how to support teachers and instructional leaders in their work bringing practice-based instruction into k-12 classrooms. Prior to beginning her doctoral studies, Rebecca taught middle school science for 10 years and served as an instructional coach for middle and high school science teachers. Rebecca has also consulted for local schools and districts as well as research organizations about science instruction and curriculum development.
