Thank you to our loading crew - a group of young adult volunteers that have been putting in about 70 hours a week to do most of the unloading of food coming in and loading of vehicles to send it out to food banks. You are our backbone and we could not do this without you!

While schools were closed, the community at Bemiss Elementary (@spokaneschools) broke ground on their new school rain garden with support from WGS. When students return to school, they’ll have a new outdoor classroom, ready for exploration, right outside their door.

In case you're interested, here's the range of projects that groups sank into this week at the @STEMTeachTools Unconference! The groups made stunning progress. So much shared learning and so many new tools were drafted. #ItWasInspiring #TrustTheProcess #NGSSchat

This week, we’ll tweet about key science takeaways from the @CCSSO academic guidance for the fall.
NextGenScience@nextgenscience20 Jul 2020
The NextGenScience team partnered with @CCSSO to develop the science academic guidance in their recent document to support school systems to plan for equitable teaching and learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic. See the full guidance document here: CCSSO.org/Coronavirus

So grateful to be part of this project!
ClimeTime@WAClimeTime13 Jul 2020
In collaboration with partners, ClimeTime has been working to share stories of success thus far. Stay tuned for #PortraitsofPractice that demonstrate the engaging & phenomena-based strategies WA teachers have been learning & practicing. #teachwaclimetime @OfficialNGSS #ngsschat

As a Black woman science leader, I have experienced marginalization & othering to last a lifetime. We can stop this. There’s a myth that you can’t do social justice work in some contents, eg. science. My letter to @GSTAnews - 5 steps we can take now - georgiascienceteacher.org/pa…

Small adaptations to kits can help students use their everyday experiences to learn about science topics thru #engineering design. #NGSSChat stemteachingtools.org/brief/…

Adapting Science Lessons for Distance Learning

With a little creativity, students can still take part in science experiments and discussions while learning at home.

Some people might treat the #SEP as “stand alone” activities, but research shows it is more effective to think about designing instruction as a cascade of practices. #NGSSChat stemteachingtools.org/brief/…

We don’t need to choose between addressing the climate crisis and successfully recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. With the right strategy, we truly can accomplish both. bit.ly/3i9H7b8

🗣️Would love to hear from all of you who have used a competency based model for science: How have the NGSS performance expectations and/or individual CCC, SEP, and DCI elements guided the structure?
Merrill DeGraff@MDeGraff54 Jul 2020
Replying to @OfficialNGSS
I am curious....at a competency based school, does NGSS see them as targets?
