As both new and veteran implementers facilitate PhD Science® in their classrooms, the anchor visuals embedded in the curriculum play a pivotal role in driving student learning.
In this video, PhD Science Implementation Support Associate Caren Limbrick dives into two of the three anchor visuals in PhD Science: the anchor chart and anchor model. The video describes each anchor visual's components and highlights the differences between the two. It also provides implementers with insight into how to effectively use instructional routines to facilitate collaborative student discourse to help create the anchor visuals.
