"Looking up at the stars stirs a sense of wonder in my Ss. I love teaching about space... because we are all called to explore and there is no better way to spark curiosity than to spend a night staring off into the cosmos." T @MadameSTEM 📸 Courtesy of Caroline Little

@owensscience @amays_bwfund @BWFUND Those notebooks are the best!!! I sadly used the last page in my last one just a few days ago!

When you have a videoconference and finish taking notes, then your 5 yr old says that she drew a picture for mommy, and you realize she is holding your notebook … @amays_bwfund @BWFUND 😂

@NCCATNews @autumnhair I can’t wait to hear all about your awesome week!

We appreciate these teachers being with us for "Supporting Instructional Coaches to Lead the Way" at #NCCAT Cullowhee. Coaches learned strategies to strengthen relationships with teachers, facilitate meaningful collaboration, and give effective feedback.

@JJosephKY @HamiltonMusical That’s one less thing to worry about 😉

@nckhui By any chance do you know the previously used cut scores?

These proposed cut scores showing that the majority of NC students were not proficient on the new reading end-of-grade exams could also show the impact the pandemic has had on learning. #nced #coronavirus

@AnnahRiedel Yay!!! I can’t wait to hear all about it!

Schools in Parks Teacher Collaborative begins next week! Honored to be a teacher partnering with NC parks and UNC Chapel Hill. So excited to do more of my favorite thing… #getoutside #classroomsdonthave4walls

@NatGeoEducation @itspeterbrown @InsideNatGeo Fantastic book choice!!! 😍

Invite your learners to join us in a new interactive reading experience Book Quest starting with The Wild Robot by @itspeterbrown - navigating challenge clues from @InsideNatGeo Explorers and journeying through an activity map. on.natgeo.org/6010ybnmM

@klanemarion @wcpssmagnets @kdelia Our home looks like this too thanks to @FrankMcKayNC! Have a great magnet retreat day!

@totalstemteach @cchambers119 @NCScienceLeader @Ready4rigor @SEEDFellows Thanks @totalstemteach! I’m looking up those resources now!

@cchambers119 @NCScienceLeader @Ready4rigor has a book study guide for free. They have the facilitator's version as well as the participant's version. We used it for our @SEEDFellows book study.

Today's work: brainstorming for a book study ... Friends in education, any tips? @NCScienceLeader @totalstemteach #equity #education #teachervoice

@NatGeoEducation How does a @NatGeoEducation certified educator get involved with #TACPAC? 😀 #lifegoal

A HUGE thank you to our Teacher Advisory Council (#TACPAC!) that wrapped up their 2-year commitment last week. We have learned so much from you and will continually apply these lessons in our daily work. Our deepest gratitude from all of us on the @NatGeoEducation team!

Sure, teachers have been assigning projects to students for years. But Project Based Learning is something completely different. Learn more here!👇 bit.ly/2Jf284u #PBL #education #edutwitter #teachertwitter

@TeachGlobalEd @sentientism We love @ImpossibleFoods burgers too!!!

How bad will the #ClimateCrisis have to get before humans turn to the easy and ethical win of ending animal agriculture?
