@tjscience @NGSSphenomena Sounds like a great way to engage students in science and engineer practices... along with some arts integration!

[Darren Myzak (he/him) @DMyzak]

Science is pretty (and sometimes messy too😅)

What do you notice here?!? A play on an experiment with M&Ms and water resulted in this pattern!! How could we explain this?!? How does it compare to this virtual science version https://t.co/lbLoS3zgpc #ngss #ngsschat #ScienceTwitter #Science

As @FLOTUS has said, teaching is more than a job - it's a calling.

To all those called to teaching - called to shape our future by helping students grow academically, mentally, & emotionally - THANK YOU! #WorldTeachersDay

[Darren Myzak (he/him) @DMyzak]

@JulianaUrtubey3 We need more intentional supports for novice teachers and professional learning that is collaborative, situated, and resourced (e.g.,⏲️,💵) for experienced teachers. We need increased professionalization to attract future generations to the career.

Great Salt Lake, Utah. The blue side is mixed with fresh water from three different rivers, so its salt levels are much lower. The pink side has almost 10 times the salt concentration of the ocean & is home to salt-loving organisms that give the water its pink color. #ngsschat

The world's tallest living tree. Hyperion is the name of a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in California that was measured at 115.92 m (380.3 ft). How did this tree get SO much bigger than all the others?!?! #ngsschat #ngss

#STEM #workforcedevelopment “Insufficient time is dedicated to STEM within the academic year. We need consistent, regular touchpoints in school and there needs to be learning opportunities not only for young people, but for parents…https://t.co/DndvZUIaZ5 https://t.co/b3TGYwXNRa

Schools that have both GSAs and LGBTQ-focused policies are effective at improving school climate for all youth, including LGTBQ students, by reducing bias-based bullying and strengthening supports. Does your school or district have both GSA and LGTBQ-focused policies? (2 of 2)

[Darren Myzak (he/him) @DMyzak]

GSAs are school-based, student-led clubs that aim to provide a safe environment for LGBTQ students and allies. Schools may also have policies that support LGBTQ students, such as antibullying policies inclusive of sexual orientation and gender identity. (Part 1 of 2).

[Human Rights Campaign Rapid Response @HRC]

LGBTQ+ students are being attacked by the people they entrust with their lives: lawmakers.

Listen to them share their thoughts, feelings and concerns as young queer students, then visit https://t.co/KRfZTAQLK2 to learn how to support them.

Over half (59.1%) of LGBTQ students felt unsafe at school because of their sexual orientation, 42.5% because of gender expression, and 37.4% because of their gender (@GLSEN). If you or someone you know is struggling as a new school year begins, consider the resource below:

When school environments are supportive for LGBTQ students, it improves educational outcomes for all students. Educators, caregivers, and students, what are ways you can foster supportive environments in your local school? #supportiveschools #safeschools #teamwork #inclusion

We know that going back to school means navigating new challenges.

You deserve a school where you feel safe and respected; and we hope that these tips make your school experience a little easier to navigate.

We are by your side, always. ⭐️
