@ESDteam123 supported teachers’ understanding of Earth’s systems & changes thru research & data collection. At the Coyote Canyon Mammoth Site, they went on an Ice Age Flood Tour organized by the REACH Museum, seeing how local phenomena-based learning can deepen student learning.

The organizations facilitated professional learning with educators on complex climate science topics within a local place-based setting. The work also focused on educating teachers on Indigenous ways of knowing, specifically as they relate to climate science education.

A dreamscape of collaboration existed in this #PortraitofPractice: climetime.org/teaching-for-t… In partnership with @NWESD189, the Lummi community, and the Salish Sea Research Center @NWIC, field-based workshops were organized by @NSEA, RE Sources, Common Threads Farm, & Wild Whatcom

We're helping school districts to evolve their systems and instructional practices during the COVID-19 pandemic by delivering statewide professional learning that supports distance learning: waesd.org/professional-l… #waedu #reopeningWAschools

Thank you to our loading crew - a group of young adult volunteers that have been putting in about 70 hours a week to do most of the unloading of food coming in and loading of vehicles to send it out to food banks. You are our backbone and we could not do this without you!

While schools were closed, the community at Bemiss Elementary (@spokaneschools) broke ground on their new school rain garden with support from WGS. When students return to school, they’ll have a new outdoor classroom, ready for exploration, right outside their door.

In case you're interested, here's the range of projects that groups sank into this week at the @STEMTeachTools Unconference! The groups made stunning progress. So much shared learning and so many new tools were drafted. #ItWasInspiring #TrustTheProcess #NGSSchat

Join #NSTA & @afterschool4all on Thursday, Aug 6 (2PM ET) for the #ReopeningTogether Twitter Chat and help amplify the need for strong in-school & afterschool partnerships. The only way to reopen successfully is by #ReopeningTogether.

A collab btwn @ESD112 & @WAGreenSchools led 2 Climate Justice League. Teachers learn how to teach climate science through social & environmental justice lenses. Their story here: bit.ly/3esNqU2 @OfficialNGSS #teachwaclimetime #PortraitsofPractice #ngsschat @WAClimeTime

There's something for all #Teachers at the #STEMSummit this year. Special thanks to our Platinum Sponsor @Microsoft and #TechSparkWA ow.ly/cXy450AFzfz for another year of support. Register to attend here: ncesd.org/stemsummit

Washington STEM CEO, Angela Jones, seeks to provide WA students equity, through access and opportunities, for students in rural communities, students of color, women, and students living in poverty. Don't miss her keynote address at the NCESD STEM Summit! ow.ly/DHEO50AHoWt

@ESD113 developed and facilitated an online Canvas course for Washington state teachers to better understand how to interpret climate science data and then support their students in doing so. @OfficialNGSS #teachwaclimetime #PortraitsofPractice: climetime.org/analyzing-data/ #ngsschat

This week, we’ll tweet about key science takeaways from the @CCSSO academic guidance for the fall.

@Tammieschrader and Rebecca Hansen partnered through the Washington State Fellows’ Network. Schrader's professional development on Game-Based Learning supported the development of strategies focused on expanding understanding of environmental sustainability. #teachwaclimetime

@newesdnews teacher, Rebecca Hansen, had her 7th grade students support local restoration efforts to Marshall Creek by creating water filters & studying water quality. Students tracked the differences in the creek over time. #PortraitofPractice: climetime.org/exploring-wate…
