Please take a moment to watch the following video about Prop R projects improving @KirkwoodHS. "At KHS, we need room to continue the level of education our kids deserve, and that our community expects," said Dr. Havener.

In case this is helpful for teachers looking for ways to make learning tools out of things students might have at home. @KSDLearns

[Kelly Gallagher @KellyGToGo]

As I sit down to write lesson plans for next week (for students who will be staying home), I know one thing: my students need to write daily about this time in history. They need to capture this moment in time.

This year for a #geniushour project a student said she wanted to try taking some pictures with her iPad. Unbelievable discovery of talent and passion that was excavated by offering Ss opportunity to take learning into their own hands and take risk.. #getoutoftheway! @geniushour

I wish I had a week off to integrate my learning from #NSTA2019 into my curriculum before I forget it all! Main take- aways from the last four days:
1. Unique data analysis
2. Phenomenon
3. Literacy resources
4. Citizen Science
5. 3D learning in NGSS

The Rigor-Relevance framework is a proven construct for promoting greater intellectual substance and authenticity in assignments, tasks, and projects. It can be used as both an analysis tool and a design framework for curriculum and assessment practices. https://t.co/zHYMdLcIPk
