Park Rangers R awesome! We sent "flat Billy" w/his babysitter & fam (including 3 Arrowhead alumni) to the National Parks for an amazing adventure. Thx to the rangers for supporting his work, we can't wait to visit! #getoutside #nationalparks @ZionNPS @Methacton #arrowheadalumni

Tune in as Erin McCool from @CarolinaBio discusses using phenomena to make science meaningful. Departing from traditional teaching models, educators are now facilitators of learning experiences rather than conveyors of knowledge.

We have been talking a lot about assessment in professional learning over the last few months! Great opportunity to contribute to the development of a helpful resource.

[BSCS Science Learning @BSCSorg]

We’re recruiting Ts to pilot test assessments in April/May. The tasks of this study are being designed to assess Ss’ opportunity to engage w/ science + engineering practices, CCCs, & disciplinary core ideas to figure out real-world phenomena. Learn more: https://t.co/a3QGrKmiKB

Happy Winter Solstice. Check out this video from @NatGeo to learn more about this natural #phenomenon! #coolheron #enviroed #WINTER @getoutside

[Erin McCool @ErinMMcCool]

❤️this approach to weave climate into daily learning. Environmental education needs to be personally relevant to students. How are you incorporating personally relevant stories and context within your environmental learning experiences? https://t.co/6FFEOHVgAK

[Erin McCool @ErinMMcCool]

Here is a great opportunity to recognize our amazing science teachers. Let's nominate some teachers today!

[Carolina Biological @CarolinaBio]

⏳ Today is the last day to nominate your favorite science teacher for a special recognition! Don't miss this opportunity to spotlight an educator who has made a difference. 🏆🍏

What a year of #outdoorlearning it has been! #MWEE @PADeptofEd @DCNRnews @PennsylvaniaDEP #PASTEELS #Enviroed

[Erin McCool @ErinMMcCool]

Last week, I shared a post from our first Environmental Mobile Unit field experience. Learn more about this new resource with @MCIU & how you can bring #EMU to your school! "Shaping Student Experiences with Environmental Literacy and Sustainability " at https://t.co/B6C066BLzx

[Erin McCool @ErinMMcCool]

I've loved ❤️ working with @MCIUlearns on this project! Looking forward to reaching more students in our region with high quality #enviroed! #EMU @PADeptofEd @DCNRnews @PennsylvaniaDEP @TheNAAEE @NOAAeducation #MWEE #Sustainability #getoutside #STEELS 🐢🦋😎🌞

[MCIULearns @MCIULearns]

What a beautiful day to learn outside! The @MCIULearns EMU recently met up with 6th graders at Jenkintown Middle School to explore Jenkintown Creek. We mapped the area, collected water and soil samples, and identified macroinvertebrates. #EMU #STEELS @PADeptofEd @jsddrakes
