@AlaskaDigital working with #TribalScholars students in fishing their @NOAAFisheriesAK halibut subsistence educational permit. TRUE #AuthenticAssessment - this #128 halibut helps feed #KIC's elder lunch program. North Pacific Ocean is the best classroom around!

Mathematics has been called the “language” of #STEM -- students need a strong #math foundation to succeed in STEM fields & to make sense of STEM-related topics. #Algebra1 is a key gateway course for STEM & at what grade students take it matters. #dataviz https://t.co/eoEuzCEIh3

Southeast #Alaska villages are looking to form tribal courts. Leaders say the ability to make legal decisions helps tribes become more sovereign.

As children learn to understand and control their emotions, teachers can provide support by showing empathy and encouraging children to do the same. #SEL

[AlaskaDigitalAcademy @AlaskaDigital]

Yep....would be great if @AlaskaDigital could use #VR tech to live-stream an active salmon stream or listen to humpback whales onboard our fishing boat here in #Alaska. That way kids from all over the US could experience #Alaska firsthand in their classrooms. #PBL #DeeperLearning

She used to struggle in school, but this @NASAJPL intern spent the summer "killing it at NASA," working on VR and AR software for Mars missions. #MeetJPLIntern Michelle Vo, a student @UCLA who found a way to turn her daydreams into a dream career path: https://t.co/MRj81WjUb0

Took #TribalScholars students to Helm Bay cabin in #Alaska but #bears cut the trip short before it started. Plans were to pan for gold, explore the history of the area, as well as set crab pots. #PBL #outside #education #nextyear

#TribalScholars uses their @NOAAFisheriesAK subsistence educational halibut skate in #Alaska. #Native students experience real #AuthenticAssessment by applying math, geography, and biology skills to find success. Success = feeding Elders and family alike. #PBL #DeeperLearning

In 2017, American fishermen landed 9.9 billion pounds of fish and shellfish. See top ports by volume and value of seafood landed: https://t.co/1urAsWvmqw

#CTE is the key component that makes @AlaskaDigital work. One of our biggest classes is #DriversEd. Why? So many rural #Alaska students couldn't qualify for certain jobs in their home village. Started offering the course in 2014 for credit, and have had over 70 students complete!

Frank Brogan, Assistant Secretary, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, leads a listening session with five CTSO student leaders from across the country. He challenged, “Why is work-based learning the exception and not the rule?” #RethinkCTE #CTE

[AlaskaDigitalAcademy @AlaskaDigital]

YEP! That's why #TribalScholars. #KayhiMaritime, and @AlaskaDigital are working together to train the next generation of #Alaska #fishermen (and that includes women).

[NOAA Fisheries AK @NOAAFisheriesAK]

According to new @NOAAFisheries reports, more than 60% of seafood caught in U.S. waters comes from the waters off the State of #Alaska !

[NOAA Fisheries @NOAAFisheries]

Fishing and seafood consumption in the United States increased in 2017, with landings and value of U.S. fisheries continuing a strong, positive trend adding $110 million to the seafood industry. Check out our latest reports to learn more: https://t.co/orpC6IcNwL

Let's go on a hike for #RainforestFriday with #TribalScholars students in #Alaska. #pbl #learning #AuthenticAssessment

[AlaskaDigitalAcademy @AlaskaDigital]

Perfect #pbl example: #TribalScholars students setting their #NOAA 30-hook halibut #subsistence skate. Most of the time the hooks came up empty, and that failure provided the best opportunity to learn why. Was it bait? Location? Tides? Work together as a group, solve the issue.

[AlaskaDigitalAcademy @AlaskaDigital]

@AlaskaDigital is moving towards having more courses that utilize deep reflection in helping students figure out the success or failure of a project. Best is when you have true #AuthenticAssessment that involves the local community.

[High Quality PBL @HQPBL]

#hqpbl experiences often engage students in deep reflection. What questions do you use to help students reflect on their work and projects? #pbl #projectbased #deeperlearning

[Kris Petitjean @krispetitjean]

Mark Watney (The Martian) was right, you can grow food in Mars soil. My pupils sow cress in homemade Mars sand during their #STEM project 'Mission to Mars' #mars @NASAedu @NASAJPL_Edu @NASABeAMartian @NASA @ESA_ExoMars @ESA__Education @esa @microbit_edu

[AlaskaDigitalAcademy @AlaskaDigital]

Fantastic #AuthenticAssessment right here....love it when student assessments lead to changes for their communities. So much more impactful than a regular multiple choice test.

[AlaskaDigitalAcademy @AlaskaDigital]

A simple hike turns into a full lesson on cedar bark gathering - that's what happens with #TribalScholars and @AlaskaDigital. Top level learning in #BloomsTaxonomy includes conscious decisions about how much bark they need for projects with preserving the tree. #outdoorlearning
