@STEMTeachTools @VOScience @SciJeanne I ask educators to engage with the content (only!) and get an anchor phenom in place . Work with learners to develop a dqb or notice wonder. Even if practice has to revert to "teaching" for the rest of the unit for understandable reasons - instruction will change in powerful ways

These are my Top Ten STTs that changed the way I thought about #SciEd! Thanks to @VOScience for inspiring this post. I am curious what other people think essential steps are when first diving into #ngss! Happy #nerdytshirtfriday -@SciJeanne twitter.com/VOScience/stat…

Are you or your colleagues just getting started with shifting your science instruction towards #NGSS? It can be difficult to know where to start! Here are my Top Ten STEM Teaching Tools that were transformative for my teaching and lesson design. Pls RT #ngsschat & #nstachat!

@PettwayAJ @AmbScienceTeach @SASchina You rock ! Wish I could have been there .

What a privilege to facilitate a full day of planning an ecosystem unit with my colleagues at SAS. Collaborative spirit + deep content knowledge + planning tools from @AmbScienceTeach = a compelling unit outline driven by a strong anchor phenomenon. @SASchina #NGSS #edcoach

Join us Thursday 1/7/21 at 9 PM ET for our first #ngsschat of 2021 #nsta #nsta21

@foley_amy @MsJenniferWyatt @dhamilton_david Congratulations !

I did it! I completed my Ontario Principals' Qualifications!! And more importantly, I learned a lot about leadership. Thank you so much @MsJenniferWyatt and @dhamilton_david for your support and for sharing your insight and experience.

@krademaker That's wonderful - they are super lucky to have you - have fun!

I am speaking at MnCOSE 2020. Please checkout the details of my talk at: whova.com/xems/apis/open…

For a good while I have been avoiding the word "teaching" in all my writing for - and work with - teachers. Ironic. New times new terms?

@KRenaeP @NGSS_tweeps Agree w/ A.J. Focus on cccs seps and bringing the vision of the Framework / storylines to the VL environment. In K5 try to hit some of each domain in each grade. See guidance at livebinders.com/b/2674338 #ngsschat

Q: The “essential/priority” standards=hot topic. NGSS=all standards/all students. Enter a pandemic & more virtual learning. Debate gets more heated. Curious your thoughts as well as what your district’s plan is for science. Discuss and tag please! #ngsschat #curious

Learning in @NSTA 's Teacher Tip Tuesday Web Seminar today! my.nsta.org/webseminars Check out what teachers are using for Distance Learning-- maybe you will find something new to investigate for your needs! #NGSSchat #NSTA20 #satchat #edtech

No #NGSSchat this week-- join us next week on Thurs Aug 27 at 9 PM ET for a full hour of #NGSSchat hosted by @CSSSupervisors talking Back to School Considerations! drive.google.com/file/d/1jWp8jz… #NSTA

Please join us next week (Aug 3) for #NGSSslowchat starting Monday talking Culturally Responsive Science Instruction hosted by @wandabryant @3DplanJeanane @nflynnseattle @WmGReed #NGSSchat #NSTA #Sci4AllSs

Welcome to Day 2 of #NGSSslowchat Thanks to everyone who shared yesterday-- I hope you found some new people to follow and add to your PLN!. I encourage you to RT this and invite someone new to the chat! Here are the guidelines for this slowchat-- #NGSSchat

We are happy to share our NEW 30 Day Science SUMMER Challenge!! Let's have some fun with science this summer!! See if you can complete each & cross them all off in 30 days. Share @NGSSphenomena and we will re-share some of our favorites! #NGSS #NGSSchat

a grade 2 teacher shared this with me. her Ss is writing to his future grade 3 teacher and telling him/her about himself "I like art, read aloud and engineering." 😁💙 it's happening ! teachers - you are awesome !

@foley_amy @NGSS_tweeps thanks Amy - and great idea !

Some kind words from @charnobyl1 really made my day! Especially appreciated from someone so amazing. At this uncertain time, let's all #payitforward with gratitudes or appreciations to make someone else's day! @NGSS_tweeps #NGSS #instructionalcoach

@thestrokeofluck @charnobyl1 very validating for me to see so much overlap with pedagogy related to #NGSS - writing learning targets that support inquiry; when/how to introduce new vocab; and ensure opportunities for Ss 'figuring out' instead of only learning about

All learners come to classrooms with communication resources that are productive for learning. Educators should build on these resources. #NGSS #NGSSchat #SciEd stemteachingtools.org/brief/66

Working on setting up my Virtual PD classroom and I can't figure out how to make my bitmoji stand up. #ImSoOld #ButTrying #NGSS #NGSSchat

In October 2019, @JennySarna of @NextGenScience and @GreatCitySchls presented a sneak peek of their survey of the State of Science in 56 of the nation’s largest urban districts to district leaders. One key finding? Science in elementary is crucial.

After co-constructing these resources with @OpenSciEd and @inquiry_hub educators and the @inquiry_hub and @utdanacenter teams, I'm excited to share them w/ everyone. Trying to figure out how to use the storyline instructional model while teaching remote? Join us!
