congrats to @taftpheadra1 for receiving the ct science teachers award for excellence in elementary science teaching! They confirm what we knew all along.

I have listed a few books I have enjoyed or am looking forward to reading. What professional books would recommend for a science teacher out there?

7th grade Ss learning debugging fundamentals using #Arduino programming environment. Making future programmers at #bedfordms

Ss working hard in our new embedded systems programming class. The level of discourse is amazing!

Bedford middle school #scienceolympiad students getting ready for the Rustin Invitational #rustin lots of NRG and enthusiasm

Literacy and science in the stairwell!

Let’s round out the week with your favorite resource(s) share/practical tip. One of the best parts about twitter is learning and growing together. Here’s a practical tip I love. Tight on wall space? Wondering how to manage all those models in progress? Pant hangers!

DQB #ngsselementary 1st grade patterns in the sky unit.

Stop the insanity! You are doing our students a disservice when you continue to teach this way! #math #teaching

Using phenomenon to gets students to think deeply about vector, motion and force @NGSSChat @NGSS_tweeps #RSD10CT @MrsCBurke @LSMPrincipal

Received this awesome photo from @S_M_Kelly because of my undergrad research on deceptive cacheing in squirrels and couldn't help but to #NGSS meme it up🤘 #NGSSchat

Coleytown middle school students discussing essential components of a scientific model.

Engineering lab at Bedford middle school. Just about ready for students!

Spent the last two days with the Connecticut Science Assessment Advisory Committee looking at @ngss test items. Bad news is T’s still have a long way to shift instruction good news is CT students really stepped up and surprised us in many ways.

Visited @shuengineering facility today. Their #makerspace will be fantastic once completed.

Just signed up! The last one was well worth it.

Another installment of our summary table from Westport/stamford #ngsx workshop. Look at all the deep thinking and public displays

#NGSX Westport Ts adding to our ever growing summary table. They are the ones making the entries at this point.
