Thanks Mrs. Hilbert for allowing our Teacher Academy students to come down and teach about the @BeebotCo to your class!

Excellent opportunity to have 8th graders learn about careers and finances @JACentralIowa!

An interesting event that mentioned what skills our students need for future careers #collaboration #empathy #transferableskills

Thank Blue Bean for hosting the internship class today to talk and engage the students about creative problem solving!

Honestly I have not read this but will be picking up a copy soon!

@IowaSTEM Having grace is an important thing because as long as the educators are doing their best to implement then that will be more help then you can imagine. That being said making sure that they are connected to other educators as well as their Scale Up provider will go a long ways.

Q4: Finally, please offer some advice to the STEM Council: How can we better support #ScaleUp implementation? #IASTEMchat

@TanyaHu0907 @IowaSTEM Agreed @TanyaHu0907 it is powerful to show yourself that vulnerable but easier to say than done especially when most educators already feel that few things are under their control at this time.

@IowaSTEM I think a true testament to educators everywhere is shared learning right along with their students. It is a valuable lesson for all to see someone be brave and attempt something new and fail forward, learning at it's best! Creating and shaping future Innovators! #IASTEMchat

Q2: For educators scaling a STEM program at home, school, informal educational settings or in hybrid mode, what are some tips you can offer others in similar circumstances? #IASTEMchat #ScaleUp

@TracyFergusonVM @IowaSTEM @JoliePelds Another powerful tool that strengthens the community created by the training for the Scale Up!

@IowaSTEM A3: It would also be helpful to have informal Zoom meetings to collaborate with other teachers in our grade levels. I loved seeing how @JoliePelds used her GoPro during our summer sessions. #elem #IASTEMchat

Q3: How can STEM #ScaleUp Program providers better assist you with program implementation? #IASTEMchat

@IowaSTEM It would be extremely helpful to have STEM Scale Ups do some modeling of how teachers can handle the process from a distance when having check ins with educators. On that note I think it is nice when Scale Ups have periodic check ins, they can be cumbersome but beneficial

@IowaSTEM Mine could be done easily from a distance and it was for HS and that allows for more flexibility than an elementary one I feel #STEMInnovator

@IowaSTEM Or hands on activities in school and reflection questions or responses on home days

@IowaSTEM Difficult to answer as every scale up is different. Some include hands on manipulative, maybe the teacher can make videos of the activities. Or possibly send the manipulative home to kids

Welcome to the #IASTEMchat! Our goal today is to connect STEM educators and communities for sharing ideas and resources that strengthen STEM learning experiences for all Iowans. Reply to this tweet and introduce yourself and share your role in ed.

@IowaSTEM I have had the benefit that the STEM Scale Up has modified to work with me and others. #STEMInnovator

Q1: How have you adapted your 2020-21 #ScaleUp Program for this extraordinary academic year and what program is it? #IASTEMchat

We had a great morning at our career fair! What a great opportunity for our students to engage in conversations with guests from a variety of careers! #postsecondaryplanning #careerplanning
