Working with @BSCS grade 4thTN tonight! What a fantastic discussion on coherence in our storyline. Proud of these amazing Ts that are putting in more time for this study group after a long day of teaching! Miss you @mshenderson_sci!
In our first panel about #scistandards implementation, @mshenderson_sci talks about the importance of coherence, the importance of reaching all students, and supporting strategic planning to make sure those things can happen. 💯💯
In synthesizing #SciStandards convenings of @theNASEM this year, @mshenderson_sci says that Ss who have not been served in #SciEd historically will not be served until the assessment system integrates a focus on culturally responsive & anti-racist approaches. 🔥🔥🔥
Loved @ProfTiaMadkins#SciStandards charge… We need to reject deficit thinking about students & teachers. We need to teach 3D science w/ equity & justice in mind! We need to focus on linguistic, intellectual assets! We need to center community self-determination & thriving. 🔥
When designing #OpenSciEd instructional materials, we always start by asking STUDENTS what they find interesting. If you know any real-life high school students, please share this survey about #Chemistry unit #phenomena with them.

As we wrap up Day 2 of this incredible summit, know that this is not the end! Join us again for Day 3 on Dec. 8 for more conversation around #scistandards implementation efforts and recommendations as we move forward! @theNASEM#ngsschat#nsta
"High quality professional learning requires resources that are sometimes beyond the means of districts - or even beyond the vision of districts..." - @JBintzBSCS Reminding us that access to high quality PL is at the core of any educational equity conversation. #scistandards
This morning during our discussion on centering the student experience, @GolanRavit shared this powerful quote from Jazmyn which was surfaced from a #NSTA blog post by Drs. Calabrese-Barton and Tan. Check out the full post here: nsta.org/blog/designing…#scistandards#ngsschat
"We need to make space to think about the purpose of teacher education in a democratic society - with all its imperfections." - Dr. Thomas Phillip #scistandards
@mbraaten discusses opportunities to practice productive interactions with mentor teachers in a way that builds partnerships and makes learning a mutual experience: "How can we come up with a way to advocate for a more robust science education for students?" #scistandards
Really appreciate how @dtcampbe weaves coherent, justice-centered learning pathways for future #SciEd teachers by leveraging a range of cutting-edge work from the field. I love the idea of making rehearsal of interactions with students the leading shared work! #SciStandards
Love how @mbraaten described deep, structural connections to justice / activist organizations with the @cueducation teacher ed program.
All teachers should receive an endorsement in working with culturally & linguistically diverse communities! #scistandards@theNASEM
A standout discussion for me, especially when she pushed us to consider what is it exactly that they loss? Was it something we want them to have to endure? And why don't we consider what they gained as well? #scistandards
Coming up: Join us at 1 ET for what promises to be a jam-packed conversation with two panels focused on teacher professional learning in both educator preparation and professional development spaces! #scistandards@NASEM_DBASSE#ngsschat#nsta
