Hey, #PLN ! Join us on Thursday, 4/20, at 7 pm CST for a #TeachingChannelTalks about taking care of our valuable resource, new teachers! Teacher retention is a struggle for many districts. Join us on Thursday! @teresamgross @specialtechie @TeachingChannel @ABEducational @oceanteacherD @alicekeeler

Are there any recent studies that prove impact of NB certification on student achievement? Some links in the impact flyer are broken and others are older. Anyone have newer studies to reference? @NBPTS

Ep.25 was released today! @mo_teacher92 sits down with @NobbeChristine to discuss gifted education! Wonderful conversation! Give it a listen! spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/G0ZAz86Fvtb Be sure to checkout the show notes for a ton of great resources too! bit.ly/showmeedu #giftededu

Out late on a school night with my fave first year teacher. So much fun! instagram.com/p/Cc1qTInriAx2…

@Science_Coach If your library doesn't have the book you want, ask about borrowing from another library through inter-library loans! #nstachat

A7: You don’t have to purchase your own copies of the books. Visit your public libraries! #NSTAchat

@patty_mcginnis A5: ELA teachers on your team/grade level may be able to give you ideas for poetry or short stories that address science concepts. #nstachat

A5: Work with your grade level partners who teach reading or English. You might get some great ideas for using literature in your science classroom, and even come up with a cross-curricular unit. Don’t be afraid to try something new! #NSTAchat

@patty_mcginnis A5: Enlist support from ELA teachers. These teachers are often able to easily switch out texts they are currently using with something that would help support your needs in the science classroom. #nstachat

@Science_Coach A4: Providing text at the right level can also build confidence in students

A4: “Books that connect to authentic current or historical events illustrate that science is a fluid body of knowledge that is enlarged by new discoveries.” #NSTAchat

@caahayes A4: Texts can offer a non-threatening way to engage in the scientific concepts while building vocabulary and background knowledge needed for deeper learning @nstachat

@caahayes A1: Using literature in the science classroom can be a way to get reluctant learners engaged in the content. #NSTAChat

@mo_teacher92 Welcome Lori! #NSTAchat

Conundrum: There is no better way to understand students than to read their writing, but teachers are given too many students so reading the papers wears them out. Truthfully, I should look forward to reading their papers, but sometimes I am in serious avoidance mode.

Class size really matters in a workshop-model classroom. Huge difference between trying to confer with 20 students vs trying to confer w 38.
