While some are seeking to ban books, my Right to Read Act w/ @RepRaulGrijalva would help ensure public school libraries nationwide are well stocked & staffed. Our pro-library bill would help more kids develop literacy skills needed to become proficient, enthusiastic readers.
@caahayes A5. Don’t be afraid of DT. Don’t predict or try to shape the product outcome. Stick to guiding the process and supplying resources. Give your students the opportunity and let them get to where they can go. #NSTAchat
@caahayes A4. In addition to the Chicken Design project, our school has also used DT to design outdoor seating for science class. Kindergartners have designed accessible spaces. And EC has used DT to inform their gardening activities and guides their study of animals and habitat. #NSTAchat
@caahayes A3. DT in the classroom encourages collaboration, compromise, resilience, and creative problem-solving. The steps of the process can be interpreted for any learning level. The process is a joyful pursuit and is empowering for students. #NSTAchat
@caahayes A2. DT is a process, meaning it is an approach to learning and discovery—a way to facilitate 3D learning. DT is based on the need to problem-solve. Stage 1 & 2 can be framed by DCI concepts. Stages 3-5: Ideate, Prototype, and Test are steps that employ SEP and CCC. #NSTAchat
@caahayes A1. Observing DT in the classroom, you will see variations in approach and participation as the process unfolds: students working in partnerships, in small groups, whole-group discussion, democratic decision-making, hands-on activities, text research, and more. #NSTAchat
If you haven’t yet had a chance to watch Tell Me Another Story, the wonderful documentary produced by @EJKeats you can now https://t.co/lqPLCWeqfV As @PatCummingsBook said, “every educator, parent, reader and human ought to watch it.”
Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.
@KamalaHarris@JoeBiden So grateful to you for your courage and tenacity. So grateful for your wisdom, intelligence, and compassion. You did it! You did it!
