What a blast it's been co-hosting @InnerOrbitedu's #NGSS Assessment Bootcamps on Phenomena and Sense-Making with @BirdBrainFinch these past couple of weeks! Here's a recording of one of our sessions if you want to check it out: youtube.com/watch?v=qAHiMJ…

@TPalmerPKY Those 5th grade babies! 😭🤩 Ahhhh. So awesome.

@Greggs_Science @BirdBrainFinch Ha! So awesome. Thanks for joining us, Christine!

@ErinKCooke @BirdBrainFinch Getting my caffeine and learning about NGSS Assessment.

#Orion is finally visible in the Northern Hemisphere! Thanks, November! 🌟 Why are certain constellations only visible at certain times of the year? Have your students check out Disappearing Constellations to explore more... #NGSS #NGSSchat #5thscience bit.ly/33dcoUG

@APennypackerHil Thank you, Ash! This is great. Miss you so much!

@ErinKCooke When there has been a balance between whole group learning of relevant content, breakout rooms to process the relevant content, quiet time for collaborative reflection, chat box, participants unmuting, structures to draw everyone into the conversation

Alright, #educators, let's help a doc student out: What has been your best experience with virtual professional learning, in the COVID-era or even prior? Looking for everything from general anecdotes to specific platforms. And, GO! #edchat #edtech #edleaders #teacherPD #TLchat

@JohnnyBellBooks This is awesome. Thank you, friend! Miss you! #TreehouseRocks

@kyle_kauffman @NGSS_tweeps @kyle_kauffman Thank you for sharing this visual of how to break down Unit-Level Assessments! I'm geeking out and would actually love to use this in my work in supporting teachers - is there a specific resource this visual is connected to?

@NGSS_tweeps I accepted teachers can’t know - only infer - what students are thinking. I shifted attention to quality assessment tool design and provided multiple opportunities for students to provide a collection of evidence from which I could strengthen my inferences. That mindset helps.

How do you as the TEACHER know what ur STUDENTS are thinking and how their thinking has changed over time? (Working on a presentation and need your ideas/input!!) #NGSS #NGSSchat #elemNGSS

How do you blend #ELA and #science in #distancelearning or #hybridlearning? We love supporting schools through RocketLit's engaging science articles that automatically differentiate to students' reading needs. 🚀 Free pilot info here: buff.ly/30NbYmZ #keepteachingscience

@TPalmerPKY LOVE this!

@JohnnyBellBooks My heart reading this tweet: 🤩😭💥🔥✨🌊

How do we, as educators/schools/systems, move from measuring what is EASY to measuring what MATTERS? Contemplating this question, especially in #scienceeducation. (Ref: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…)

@Culpzilla @ksuding This is HUGE, Kelley, as being aware of and intentionally sharing power with students shows them that they matter, are leaders, and it makes learning more sustainable for us all! #udlchat

@ErinKCooke @ksuding So true- this is definitely a time to invest in sharing power with our Ss! #udlchat

A1: Trying to navigate support via a virtual platform. This can be a barrier with relationship building right out of the gate with students #UDLchat

@Ronbrogers Done and done! I'm currently working on my Ed.D, @Ronbrogers, so it'll be great to have more Ed.Ds in my twitter feed! 🙂

@hillary_atp I love that you mention JOY, Hilary. What a time to focus on beauty, love, and community. Dr. Bettina Love (@BLoveSoulPower) had an amazing quote about this idea: "Do not start your year talking about George Floyd & Black death. Teach the children why they are beautiful."

A1: It’s SO variable. Anger, sadness, frustration, fear. Then there are these moments of joy. It’s like we’re in this “in between” stage. I just hope the other side is better than when we entered which includes systemic shifts in our isms. #UDLChat

A1: Complete emotional exhaustion in the selfless service of educators. Giving and receiving grace, listening, and taking charge of what I can practically do in my context have helped me feel more hopeful, but it's still a lot. #udlchat

GUYS! I am so excited to support science educators in my new role with InnerOrbit! This webinar is going to be SO awesome - especially for those in distance/virtual learning right now. Check it out! #NGSS #scienceeducation #assessment

What an amazing resource for this upcoming school year by the incredible @BLoveSoulPower. I particularly love the 8 questions abolitionist Ts can ask their Ss to form deeper relationships. There's also some amazing additional resources included at the end. #mustread
