Whoaaaaa—have you checked out all of the brainstorming templates available on @canva?! Could make for some meaty Jamboard or Zoom sessions with learners!
@shimada_shiori My sister works full time, has a toddler, and is working on her Masters. She uses an app called LifeCycle which helps her keep track of how much time she spends on different activities each day. @LifeCycleApp
Sick of the seeing and teaching about the same old scientists? Fed up of your Einstein’s and your Newton’s? Well this pack is for you.
The UoN Biodiscovery Institute is proud to announce our “STEM Role Models Pack”!

@LindaMitch2783 Agreed! The Information Age is also the disinformation age. We need to equip our students with the skills to distinguish between the two.
10 historical women in STEM that they didn’t teach me about in any of my chemistry classes. Do you know any of these names? #womeninSTEM#scienceteacher#byuh305
Tonight we are launching ten satellites, named after 10 outstanding women in STEM. In preparation for launch: meet the ladies, and take some time to learn about their lives and accomplishments.
Tonight we'll place them among the stars. I think Vera would have liked that :)
Marie Curie was amazing but why are she and Rosalind Franklin the only women I’m ever taught about in my science classes? Surely there are more. #womeninSTEM#scienceteachers
The science suggests that teenagers still need lots of social and emotional support—but SEL work tends to focus on the elementary years. Here are some ways to approach social and emotional learning for teens.

@tikavaka05 The best learning happens when you produce something. Solving practice problems, quizzes, making visuals/mindmaps, or teaching someone else the content can all help solidify the concepts in your brain. Way better than just rereading notes!
YES! This applies to all subjects. I remember being so frustrated in my classes because I couldn’t understand how the teacher got from A to B or why they chose to phrase things a certain way. If you’re grading them based on specific wording, teach them why you use that wording.
Students need to hear you think aloud as you annotate a text. They need to hear not only what you are thinking, but they also need to hear how you decided which words to actually write in an annotation. @middleweb 4 Keys to Helping Students Annotate Texts https://t.co/AlZ9CbO1Oi
@LinaPongi Very cool graphic! I like the “do something different and interesting” one. This is something we can incorporate into our classes by mixing fun activities into our regular lessons. Thanks for sharing!

"The experiences I’d had growing up with a learning disorder taught me that the primary impediment to the well-being of disabled individuals is intolerance, not impairment."
Really enjoyed this article! #byuh305
Eleanor Duckworth: The more intensely interested a teacher is in a student’s thinking, the more interested the student becomes in his or her own thinking.
Corollary: The more a teacher just wants to see right answers, the less interested students become in their (or any) thinking
This is such a wholesome idea. Develops inter-student relationships, leadership/mentorship, responsibility, AND reading skills! Makes the big kids feel big and gives the little kids someone to look up to. #byuh305
A program helps older students become better readers by giving them the tools to teach younger kids. Teens are given the responsibility of helping a younger student and that's a big deal for them. https://t.co/i4K7LgYyRS
@LindseyFraser81 @PyroCrashtic @DrBradJohnson That’s awesome! Makes lab safety seem like an actual SAFETY issue when it applies to everyone, not just students.
@DrBradJohnson I love this! My high school used to have a day where parents would follow their students around to all their classes. Always awesome to see how impressed the parents were with the difficulty of curriculum their kids were learning. Very empowering as a student 💪🏼🧠
I love your explanation even more than the initial quote! “Love them enough to have high expectations for them”. Loving your students doesn’t mean letting them off easy and being their fun best friend, it means pushing them and supporting them so they can succeed.
