Darren Smith

A5 - Anytime I get the opportunity to co-teach STEM I love to watch the student's faces during the activity. I have heard students say "This is the best day ever". during a few STEM lessons. #nisdedchat

@NISDAcadTech A4 - I had a sign in my classroom that said "failure leads to success". STEM allows students to fail forward.

Q4: Think about what skills you want your students to develop. #NISDedchat

Had an awesome time with the 3rd grade team @NISDWernli sharing tips & tricks on creating the new STAAR item types in @Schoology. Their positive attitude and all the laughs made my day. @ContinuousNisd @techcoachsmith @lorimshaw

The 5th grade team @NISDMoraES created flexible playlists for students to work at their own path and pace. Students were even taking advantage of the helpdesk so they did not interrupt small groups. #NISDBLIA @NISDAcadTech @MrsBarnettNISD @MsLaraNISD @MrsTRodNisd

I love this! CER is a great way to get students to think critically. @NISDScience
