We’ll unpack the Science Regents PLDs, connect them to the NYSSLS, and use AI tools to create Regents-style questions and performance tasks that actually support instruction. 💡

Amazing to learn that an observatory for magma is being built in Iceland not only for access to geothermal energy but as a direct observation for this unexplored section of the planet! #EGU2023, #MFAPROUD

@kristinawrites2 @LeticiaTrower @HedinnBjornsson I did remote learning all last year in NYC and we had scheduled parent teacher conference days at the beginning of the semester, all virtual to discuss student work and any concerns. With 172 online students I can tell you, it would not be feasible to provide 1:1 conferences.

It's been about two years since I've taken students on a field trip. With all the restrictions and limitations in NYC, so glad we made it back to our river!
