Students who take a lot of career-and-technical-education classes in high school are hard workers who are less likely than their peers to skip class, a new study shows. https://t.co/SgayqygWbn

Also on my visit, another team of @edison_middle S's debating how to correct a problem with their roller coaster. I took slo-mo video for them to clarify their issue. Great to see students engaged and excited to learn science and math! --Steve Freshour

Visited @edison_middle today for ongoing talks by Chip Pickering from @PickeringUSA. Watched engaged S's troubleshoot their roller coasters and apply their research to their models. Potential and kinetic energy. #pbl

Not every student can easily take notes without a laptop or other aid. But there’s evidence that if you can, taking notes by hand is much better for learning. https://t.co/msZpYNAfUm
