We'd LOVE your students' input on how interesting some different phenomena are, all related to common ancestry & speciation....5 points of extra credit to everyone who gets their kiddos to complete this survey! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Students in Ari Leventhal's STEM class at #Denver West Middle School always have more questions than he can answer. He's working with @CUBoulder to develop artificial intelligence (AI) that could make STEM classes more equitable across the district. vimeo.com/665386606

PLS RT! I recently joined as the faculty advisor of the Boston Chapter of the Urban Garden Initiative (TUGI) – an international non-profit that focuses on urban gardening & education & they created an INCREDIBLE seasonal cookbook to raise funds. Link here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

*admin* As you scroll through tweeps & think, “I could share what my Ss & I are doing in science,” we think you should! Filling hosts into mid Feb/March. (Haven’t had a lot of HS Ts yet this year.) Grow your Twitter PLC as a host! DM @VogelWendi or @BMSscienceteach to take over.

Please RT: Have students in your class who would like to have a say in anchoring phenomena for high school storyline units? We would love some more student responses to our @OpenSciEd high school interest survey for chemistry (Deadline 12/17): docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… #NGSSChat

Great first meeting of the #ASTBookChat with science educators from all over!
Loved that I got put in a group with @ScienceEdDPS and he got me thinking on how best to give my PLC some learning on storylines to help them be successful. Thanks, friend!

Air quality breathes life back into CO classrooms -
Kids around CO are kicking back for summer vacation. But one team of @CUBoulder engineers is working to make sure when children return in the fall, the air they breathe will be cleaner and healthier.

SEEKING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS!
A key aspect of our unit development is asking STUDENTS what THEY find interesting. Our high school development has started, and we hope you can help us get these surveys in the hands of as many high school students as possible.

Each of the phenomena that anchor our new chemistry course has been chosen with input from thousands of students in a national survey as to what would be interesting and engaging to students like them: colorado.edu/program/inquiry…

Drum roll please....the moment we've all been waiting for...#iHubChemistry landing page is live! docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Now is the moment for us to engage with ed leader colleagues. Assessment companies are angling to make up lost spring revenue by repackaging summative assessment to be diagnostic in deeply problematic ways. They are pitching to state ed staff hard right now. 1/2 #ICLS2020

38% of kids from America's lowest-income homes and 35% of kids in special education are doing little or no remote learning, a new survey finds.
By contrast, 83% of kids from families making over $100,000 a year are doing it every day. trib.al/iwKvv8S

The goal of teaching should not be to help the students learn how to memorize and spit out information under academic pressure. 🧠
The purpose of teaching is to inspire the desire for learning in them and make them able to think, understand, and question.

What's the way to best support teachers to validate and activate funds of knowledge students bring to the science classroom?
➡️Ensuring they have access to high-quality instructional materials that value equitable science practices.

In light of the unprecedented school closures and shelter-in-place orders brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to adjust our #OpenSciEd unit development and public release schedule. More information at our website

That's not the only place it shows up. Criterion II.A. Relevance and Authenticity requires connections to students' lives.
Denver Public Schools Science retweeted
The very first criterion in the EQuIP Rubric for Science, I.A. Explaining Phenomena/Designing Solutions, requires that:
"student questions ⭐️and prior experiences⭐️ related to the phenomenon or problem motivate sense-making and/or problem solving."

Our @inquiry_hub team starts every curriculum design cycle by asking students what problems they care about solving -- and we need your students to take it! All HS students are invited to take the survey this year: forms.gle/xC3jUWPUPYjRHbUs6
