Integrating science and literacy instruction can give kids meaningful reasons and opportunities to use literacy tools - read, write, talk, and represent - as they investigate phenomena. Thanks Kent ISD LLCN for inviting me into this conversation! https://t.co/YzKrXUOLYU

“Building on the experiences, knowledge, and histories that students bring to class improves learning and engagement.” @EmilyAdah329 @SelinAkgun9 @scodere

[Emily A @EmilyAdah329]

When kids interview their families about scientific phenomena, they pick up valuable knowledge and strengthen the home-school bond.

A transformation is happening in elementary science classrooms. Those changes are chronicled in a new book co-edited by MSU Profs. @krajcikjoe & Barbara Schneider, which features examples of teachers using project-based learning as a way to teach science: https://t.co/2q09ZRM2ca

How can we center authenticity in PBL? "Students and teachers...report that the most successful projects...feel real and important, projects that call for students to do work that they and other people care about." @lucasedresearch @joepolman @ILAToday https://t.co/bjZ6JJrGej

[Miranda Fitzgerald @MSFitzge]

A new research base for rigorous PBL: "Too many adults have been led to believe that struggling learners and disadvantaged students need basic content and traditional approaches more than they need complex forms of instruction like PBL." @lucasedresearch https://t.co/gis0CxXFpn

[Miranda Fitzgerald @MSFitzge]
