Shout out to LBHS Dr. Robyn Tornabene who presented as a panelist at the Hofstra Univ Presidential Symposium on Sustainability this morning! A celebration of our K12 work on Climate Change Education in our public schools! @Jostroff2 @jengallagherlb @LBSchoolsNY @JMyersLBHS 🌱🌎

@NGSS_tweeps >20 years ago: My first sci methods class was taught by a forerunner in the field of multicultural science education. So grateful for that learning experience at the beginning of my career, shaped the trajectory of my teacher development.

You’re invited to a webinar on Oct 7 with @BrianMDonovan exploring the role science education can play in reversing 2 societal challenges: racist & sexist thinking. Registration is free: https://t.co/ZxUBN6Az24 #STEM #STEMed #scicomm #scienceeducation #scienceteachers #scied

@MsADeJong Gave them a choice, it was a resounding request for paper and pencil! Sigh of relief for all.

@izzieteaches You just had 60 tasks added to your daily workload and lost 10 hours of the day you could have dedicated to accomplish those tasks. Now make some magic happen with that math and oh by the way smile and be charming while you’re at it.

@Mr_Miller_Sci We have the antiquated signature sheet despite everything being turned in electronically. Feels like a scavenger hunt.

@HaldenwangMr We don’t do a trip. And enrollment is reasonably high due to encouragement and intentionally not having many AP options.

@APchemisMe What is the “dating” pairing like? Is it Herero-normative or LGBTQ+ inclusive?

@DavidKnuffke As opposed to mine which gave $1800/yr raise x 12 more yrs teaching I’ll never recoup the $ investment even at SUNY tuition. There should 100% be an agreement between state unis and public schools since the $ all eventually connects to the same pot anyway.

@HaldenwangMr Looks like fun! (Especially bc plants can be boring). We used semi-random selection of specimens in jars and whiteboards to make a quick impromptu cladograms. Was harder than expected but a good productive struggle!

@CMooreAnderson In language: Analogy compares generally dissimilar things along a shared characteristic...keeping that in mind makes the the term easier to remember. But I asked today and most students didn’t know what an analogy was. There goes that!!

@chatbiology Problem solving in genetics requires: pattern of inheritance, rules/symbols, meiosis, fwd/bkwd prob solving algorithm, math calc. & thought across ontologic levels = high cog load. How change in DNA seq impacts cell function requires numerous steps across space& time.

[Science for All @science_4_all]

Lessons from Plants: When a plant is struggling we don't ask, "What's wrong with the plant?" we ask "What's wrong with the environment?" We need to position our questions the same way when considering K-12 students

@edmunds_dr First few weeks I was getting myself hoarse but eventually you slip into regular speech again. A matter of getting used to it.

@Scienergetic No issues with STEM/STEAM/STREAM — integrate science with everything! But keep the integrity of science. Best term to descrive the silly “science experiments” which lack sci. is the “Pinterest-ification” of sci.

[Alberto J. Rodriguez @AlbertoJRodrig8]

Here is an example of how to integrate STEM with equity, diversity and social justice and help students learn about how viral diseases spread & the role (agency) they can play in keeping everyone safe.

@HaldenwangMr My pre-pandemic paper plan book has post-its and paper flaps stapled in. Went paperless this year and I kind of miss it!
