SDCOE has a draft version of the CA NGSS in Spanish. We are looking for feedback into these draft documents. They are available on the home page of ngss.sdcoe.net. A link for feedback is also posted. #NGSS #CANGSS #ScienceForAll @SanDiegoCOE

What is the purpose of classroom assessments? Thank you @cjcochrane21 and @sdngss for the great assessment reminders during the Science Snippet yesterday!

@AESpringstead @Audrey_Mendivil We shared this with science teachers and parents to foster discussion of the #NGSS shifts in science education. Here is a slide deck of the activity, which was adapted from CA Region IX Science Community of Practice. @cjcochrane21 @sdngss docs.google.com/presentation/d…

@MrEnerva @snapgse @UCIBioSci @Scripps_Ocean I encourage you to check out the phenomena resources that have been developed in the CA Environmental Literacy Summits: ngss.sdcoe.net/Environmental-…. Scientists at @Scripps_Ocean worked with educators to created them. @twnklstrr #NGSS #CANGSS

Anyone have a data set that is connected with an actual, recorded algal bloom event? (SoCal event would be amazing, but not necessary) I'm not having a ton of luck searching on my own so far, so I thought I would ask the Internet. 🤷‍♂️ @sdngss @snapgse @UCIBioSci @Scripps_Ocean

A year in the making... join science colleagues across California for this NGSS implementation event (formerly NGSS rollout). Register here: bit.ly/33JaQmh. View flyer here: bit.ly/NGSSImplementa…. @SanDiegoCOE @cascience #ScienceForAll #CANGSS #NGSS

We kicked off our life science unit with the anchor phenomenon of Biosphere 2 with a See, Think, Wonder. Excited to start our unit with @MysterySci! I used my inquiry board, a PowerPoint, science notebooks, a Padlet and a video. @cjcochrane21 @DeniseFinney2 @sdngss

I just finished up @SanDiegoCOE book club of @Doc_B_Brown Science in the City. My commitment for this next year is to encourage teachers to use science in their virtual spaces because “science amazes...we have wonder on our side. It is the great equalizer.”

🚨I wrote a new piece about the 9 errors of intuition that people keep making during the pandemic, trapping us in a spiral of bad decisions & policies. This is a guide to thinking about the crisis & breaking free from that endless loop. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

@cjcochrane21 @SanDiegoCOE @twnklstrr @sdngss Thank you for posting these. I missed the last 2 so now I can still check them out! #cangss #sdcoescienceteamisawesome

Thank you @SanDiegoCOE for the wonderful science units of study. They are exactly what we need in this moment and we are using them right now for middle school #Grateful @sdngss @twnklstrr @cjcochrane21 #cangss

When slapping a #distancelearning sticker on your old curriculum isn't cutting it, check out what @SanDiegoCOE C&I team have been working on: integrated content units for K-5 & thematic for grades 6-12. Directly at: bit.ly/SDCOE-Learn or webinar at: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

"More than ever our vision for science teaching and learning is important. In the middle of a crisis...it is our vision that helps us to know what is most important and to make sure we are creating learning experiences we want students to have."@sdngss❤️#SDCatholic @SanDiegoCOE

We are grateful to @SanDiegoCOE for developing these #interdisciplinary (K-5) and thematic (6-12) units of study that our educators can integrate into their year-long plans. ✏️ 💻 😇@Audrey_Mendivil @mark4math @sdngss @CherissaB

These 20-minute webinars from SDCOE's Science team show teachers how to use distance learning units of study created by our curriculum teams. Find the first summer session and get the link for upcoming #sciencesnippets at ow.ly/SyQ750AFz1L @cjcochrane21 @sdngss @twnklstrr

How can you use story time to teach science? Find out in this 10 minute tutorial. loom.com/share/1dff975f… #CrosscuttingConcepts

None of these timelines are appealing but do highlight the fact we are in this for the long haul. #coronavirus #COVID19 apple.news/AxwhNr30XQiWDD…
