@GovBoard @DrSPruitt @srebeducation @ErikaShugart @NSTA @CunninghamCM @PSU_CollegeOfEd Good to be here with you.

Q12. Why is access to resources inside and outside the classroom important in student learning? #NAEPScience

Welcome to our Twitter chat with @DrSPruitt, @srebeducation; @ErikaShugart, @NSTA; and @CunninghamCM, @PSU_CollegeOfEd. We'll be posting questions for about the next hour -- make sure you include #NAEPScience in your responses.

@GovBoard A12. A whopping 42 percent of eighth-graders report participating in inquiry-related science class activities ‘never to once in a while.’ This is not ok. #NAEPScience #NAEPScience @NASBE @AASAHQ #NGSS #scienceteachers #STEM

@GovBoard Access leads to Learning. Over the years we have seen a marked decline amount of time for teaching science and a lack of resources. #NAEPScience @NASBE @AASAHQ

@GovBoard Q11. Putting quity and inclusion are the center of classrooms. NSTA is working diligently to help all teachers to create inclusive, socially just classrooms. nsta.org/social-justice…. #NAEPScience #equity #scienceteachers #STEM

Q11. How can science education be more equitable? #NAEPScience

@GovBoard Q11. We need to commit to providing resources and funding that will help educators to better teach science through the lens of equity and social justice. #NAEPScience @NASBE @AASAHQ #NSTA #scied

@GovBoard Q10 Teachers must be provided with enough instructional time and resources to devote to hands on, phenomena based methods of learning exemplified in the NGSS. #NAEPScience #NAEPScience @NASBE @AASAHQ #NGSS #scienceteachers #STEM

Q10. What developments in science curricula and instruction could be most effective in improving student learning? #NAEPScience

@GovBoard @NASBE @AASAHQ Q10. The Framework and NGSS were the foundation from which many great instructional strategies have emerged.

@GovBoard Q10. Research-based teaching strategies based on The Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards #NAEPScience @NASBE @AASAHQ #scienceteachers #STEM #NGSS

@GovBoard A9. Professional learning is also important for teachers who are teaching outside their field or who have not gone through a teacher prep program to support them in being effective in the classroom #NAEPScience #scienceteachers #STEM #ngss

Q9. Why are teacher preparation and professional learning so important? #NAEPScience

@GovBoard A9. Teacher prep is important so that future teachers are ready to step in to classrooms and use best practices on day one. nsta.org/nstas-official… #NAEPScience #scienceteachers #STEM #ngss

@JohnstonRc @CunninghamCM Lots of examples at NSTA.org and and other organizations. Check out the NSTA Resources on sensemaking nsta.org/sensemaking NAEPScience#scienceteachers #STEM #ngss

Great point @CunninghamCM but can you elaborate on what inquiry-related activities look like in the classroom? An example? Thanks! #NAEPScience

@GovBoard A8. Science is not given the time and resources it needs to be taught effectively in early elementary classrooms. nsta.org/nstas-official… #NAEPScience @NASBE @AASAHQ #scienceteachers #STEM #ngss

Q8. Grade 4 average scores declined from 2015-2019 on NAEP Science. What might explain this? #NAEPScience

@CunninghamCM @GovBoard Great point! resources are important. NSTA has activities for parents and caregivers. More resources can be a huge help. #NAEPScience

@GovBoard A7. Parents and caregivers are a powerful force--they can encourage or discourage their children from enjoying or pursuing science or STEM. They can nurture and support children’s interests. #NAEPScience
