CORRECTION! Tomorrow is WED, 4/14, at 6pm (Eastern).

Ever wondered about "Disappearing Leaves and Moldy Bread?" Want to make sense of these (yucky!) natural events? Join @CarbonTIME and @create4stem tomorrow (WED, 4/16) at 6pm (Eastern) @MSUSciFest to engage with us! https://t.co/smaGpt76aE

@JBrianHancock and team's #NARST2021 research: learning progressions are tools Ts & PSTs can use to elicit & follow Ss ideas. LPs can help Ts anticipate likely Ss ideas & envision responses. Ts can intentionally plan lessons/talk to avoid reinforcing less sophisticated ideas

[ChristieMT @CMorrisonThomas]

@KirstenDEdwards sharing #NARST2021 @CarbonTIME research: Ss approach writing explanations through different frames. Ss are more successful in constructing 3D explanations when they frame writing as a task for personal sensemaking or for communication.

[ChristieMT @CMorrisonThomas]

#NARST2021 @MSUCollegeofEd @AgKohn shares how Ss direct engagement with agricultural phenomena and their social participation (esp. group discussions) supported their achievement of 3D performances for ecology & acquisition of scientific social language. https://t.co/Gdj2fYyiJi

[ChristieMT @CMorrisonThomas]

@DrStefLMarshall: elementary principals need support seeing the potential of science for their Ss. The hidden neoliberal default (centering individuality & competition) shapes decision-making, prioritizes testing/pace & undermines Ss equitable science access/engagement #NARST2021

[ChristieMT @CMorrisonThomas]

@MSUCollegeofEd @Burgess_T: For elementary science Ss, academic identities are pervasive (ex: I'm good at science b/c I follow the Ts directions). The fix? When Ts engage Ss w/ phenomena & notice Ss science ideas, they support Ss science disciplinary identities #NARST2021

[ChristieMT @CMorrisonThomas]

@bethcovitt shares #NARST2021 work on how learning-progression-based science assessments can value Alaska Native Ss funds of knowledge while conveying Western science as a culture that is worthwhile yet limited. Weather phenomena + computational thinking https://t.co/yQeuHhQM42

#NARST2021 @create4stem HiOH curriculum (https://t.co/p9JS1G6hYX) uses a community-inspired PBL approach: 1. learning focuses on public health issues; 2. Ss lived experiences are embedded in learning process; & 3. learning includes interacting w/ community & family members

[ChristieMT @CMorrisonThomas]

Just watched @MSTAMich The Energy Debate (on demand #MSTA2021 sessions available thru tomorrow). Thanks @WendyJohnsonMI & @mskmayer for sharing how you're using @CarbonTIME and @create4stem's Interactions units to support Ss' making sense of energy across Bio/Physics disciplines

[ChristieMT @CMorrisonThomas]

Thank you, @LtGovGilchrist, for your generous and important @MSTAMich welcome message: Science classes are needed "for every grade and every student" to support lifelong learning and leaders of tomorrow.

[ChristieMT @CMorrisonThomas]

@MSTAMich session, @CTSKeeley "Assessment Probes: Low Stakes, High Value" we're using Jamboard to organize Ss initial ideas and consider next instructional steps. Formative assessment and professional T-T talk at its best. Thanks, @logiemwonyi & @HRottermond

[ChristieMT @CMorrisonThomas]

@MSTAMich keynote speaker, the amazing Gloria Ladson-Billings: "Your power is in your difference!" Ss enter classrooms w/ their own culture; our work as Ts is to celebrate that culture for all Ss, while also expanding Ss' (and our) cultural knowledge to include other cultures.

Don't miss our friends from Novi HS at MSTA this morning at 10:15am! #MSTA2021 @akolonich @CMorrisonThomas

[ChristieMT @CMorrisonThomas]

Coming up tonight at the #MSTA2021 Awards Ceremony ... celebrating @epohlonski as our Michigan HS Science Teacher of the Year. An amazing @CarbonTIME teacher, @MSUCollegeofEd alumna, and powerful advocate for @NCSD Ss (across all grades) engaging w/ #NGSS science every day!

[ChristieMT @CMorrisonThomas]

@create4stem HS DQB session: Great #MSTA2021 conversation around working w/ Ss to revise Questions away from "yes/no" Qs toward open-ended Questions that we can investigate together in order to figure out phenomena. Check out resources and more at https://t.co/YwnfBvAtja

[Carbon TIME @CarbonTIME]

#MSTA2021 Join at 1:45pm: Teaching HS Biology (Using @CarbonTIME) for Virtual Student Engagement and Success! @GSkites

[ChristieMT @CMorrisonThomas]

@create4stem #MSTA2021 DQB K-8session: After sharing ideas about an introductory phenomenon (Why Does Monique have Diabetes?), Ss adjust ideas into Questions that the class will figure out during their unit: https://t.co/p9JS1G6hYX @peek_brown
