New blog post, this time on trauma and what we as teachers can do to love and support our students. This is another topic near and dear to my heart, and I am sure it is to you, too. Check it out here: https://t.co/Q4GJQszIPY #EDT431 #scienceteaching @NSTA @BLoveSoulPower

For many of our students, resilience and grit are baked into their way of life. Grit and resilience are not mine to give as a teacher, but rather are something my students have every day, simply by existing. #healingcenteredengagement #teaching @KristinKsouers

Did somebody say misconceptions? I got to really dig into some literature (a favorite) on the pervasive misconceptions that are present in the chemistry classroom. Check it out here: https://t.co/FTtWifXskx

[Grace Karlock @MissKarlockChem]

For genuine learning to occur and for real mental frameworks to be developed in our students, we have to throw rote memorization out the window, generally. It is a massive road block to true understanding and future learning! #NSTA #scienceteaching #chemistryteacher

Another day, another blog! Today, I got to talk about a topic I love- metacognition! Check out my blog post for some specific, practical strategies you can use in your classroom to promote it https://t.co/kyN3Pt4Vat 🧪😊

Using #metacognition sets up students to be lifelong learners and critical thinkers. It would be a shame to not guide students in their thinking in our classroom! We could all use some thinking about our thinking. #edt432 #scienceteaching @NSTA

Everyone knows that budgeting is an important thing to do as a teacher- check out my most recent blog post on engaging classroom materials that are no or low cost! https://t.co/uALTaOGKqT #EDT432 #scienceeducation #scienceteaching #budgetteaching

@SNStudents is a great resource that teachers can use to engage students in real science that is going on in the world. Another step towards developing scientifically literate students! #scienceteaching #edt432 @NSTA #ScienceNews #scientificliteracy

[Grace Karlock @MissKarlockChem]

As science teachers, we need to confront the biases that we bring into the classroom. Many times, these go unnoticed or unchecked and hurt our students. We should be encouraging all students to pursue STEM and show them that they can do it! #scienceteaching #STEM #equity

Motivation- we know we could all use a little more of it at times! Check out my new blog post on the types of motivation and how to tap into them in our classroom, inspired by @DanielPink 's book Drive https://t.co/eH7ilZVKcU

[Grace Karlock @MissKarlockChem]

"Because it will be on your test" is the WORST response we can give to students who want to know the "why" behind a concept's importance. This fails to unlock the motivation essential for creating lifelong learners!

Everyone wins when we travel to the margins! Check out my newest blog post on what margins look in the classroom, and why they are so important for making science come alive 😊🧪 https://t.co/mRHtcSlgJ0

[Grace Karlock @MissKarlockChem]

If we want to challenge our students, why wouldn't we also challenge ourselves as teachers? Going to the margins together challenges both teacher and student to think critically and creatively!
