A4. Some norms I really appreciate: (1) lean into discomfort, (2) attend to power dynamics in interactions so as to center non-dominant perspectives, (3) don't move to closure prematurely—scaffold dissent and engage in critical analysis. #NGSSchat

Virtual Super! 1:21: 05 beautiful weather!! Run and the 25 obstacles! 😍 @spartan #beunbreakable #spartanvirtualracing #spartanvirtualsuper #silveradofitfam

Thanks for a great chat! #NGSSchat

@3DplanJeanane @nextgenstoryli1 @OpenSciEd I agree! Implementing these storylines with my colleagues is a great way to grow my understanding of NGSS #NGSSchat

A6 NGSS Chat is my favorite resource to build my understanding of NGSS and 3D learning #NGSSChat

It is also important to think about coherence across universities and school settings - this is a study we did exploring the assumptions underlying the work of a research–practice partnership (RPP) focused on this #NGSSchat tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

@JohnRussell82 I love how you categorized Ss responses! Did Ss help to create the labels? What did you do with their responses after? #NGSSchat

A4: Supporting PST's to attend to students' resources and recognize/trouble how race, language, culture influence what they interpret and respond to as scientific. #ngsschat

@ACHOSinfo Totally! Ss should see that scientists also make mistakes and just because we can doesn’t mean we should

Does that require disavowing some of the snooty cultural attitudes surrounding science? #NGSSchat

@mrshigginsri I agree the CCC are a bit overlooked #NGSSchat

I would say: 1. Shift to making sense of phenomena 2. Ss playing a role in planning instruction 3. Use of Modeling and Explanation 4. Student to student evidence-based discourse #NGSSChat

A4 Major concept we should focus on next is sociocultural learning. I want our next generation to be able to be empathic leaders that can problem solve and communicate based on evidence #NGSSchat

A 3 The experience of developing and implementing storylines has had the biggest influence for me teaching science. I was introduced to inquiry instead of cookie cutter labs but Ss learning based on a phenomenon has had the most impact. #NGSSchat

@sbottasullivan I agree! Learning needs to be social and open questions gives space for students to participate and feel successful! #NGSSChat

A2 Core outcomes needs to be: 1. Phenomena is about providing relevant context Ss can make sense of, units need to grow around them. 2. Learning is social, Ss need time & structure to collab w/ the SEPs 3. Ts Qs need to be big & open, ~ why & how do you know? evidence? #NGSSChat

@nflynnseattle @frizzlerichard Great resource! Thanks for sharing

@frizzlerichard Have you looked into the status treatments from #ComplexInstruction? One of my favorites in the Multiple Abilities Treatment, which teaches students to see their own and other's strengths as assets in group tasks. #NGSSchat sfusdmath.org/multiple-abili…

A7: When we look for phenomena to investigate, we use culturally relevant phenomena where communities have been impacted such as the Flint, MI water crisis, African American birth mortality rates, access to power in Puerto Rico, tsunamis on the big island in HI, etc. #ngsschat

A7- Currently working on a storyline about vermicomposting to help with the community issue of poor soil and food deserts #NGSSchat
