Teachers + families across the country are facing a new reality of providing opportunities for students to do science through distance + home learning. The #DailyDo is one of the ways #NSTA is supporting teachers + families with this endeavor. @TdiShelton https://t.co/FVMa7CRENH

[Philip Bell @philiplbell]

Hi all—Let's be careful about colonizing home/family life with the norms of schooling at this time.

Specific teaching & learning practices from formal ed might make sense—but families have their own learning practices & ways of talking to be leveraged #EquityFirst #FocusOnAssets

[Philip Bell @philiplbell]

NEW & IMPROVED—Formative assessment is key to learning. We have refined our process & tools for developing 3D #NGSS assessment tasks in the @AcesseProject over the past 4 years. We just updated our 12-page How-To guide on @STEMTeachTools.

Today's #NSTA #DailyDo explores something many students + families are familiar with, eggs! This task, What's in an Egg? engages students in science + engineering practices to figure out why some eggs produce chickens (or other living things) + some do not https://t.co/lproZnvOsW

PLS RT #NGSSchat—Are you supporting TEACHERS & FAMILIES as they figure out #SciEd instruction at this moment of home-based learning?

@SperoGeology Congratulations!

[Sharon Cates @cates_e]

Lots of interesting things at BSU today.

[Sharon Cates @cates_e]

So nice to connect with an amazing woman in science. I'm humbled to have helped her on her journey. You go girl, tou've got this.

[Hannah Spero @SperoGeology]

Was great to connect with my HS chemistry teacher @cates_e who now is the Idaho State #STEM & Science Supervisor!

She is a great female scientist & educator role model!

Peep the #throwback pic to a HS 80s day!

Good luck in your new position!

All students should routinely have opportunities for processing their thinking through talk—along with drawings, gestures, movements, etc. This resource provides a bevy of resources to scaffold & guide LEARNER-CENTERED DISCOURSE. #SciEd #NGSSchat #NGSS
