A1: If students don’t see a relevance to their lives outside of school they don’t see a need to complete/attempt the work. If the lesson isn’t engaging and “fun” many students fail to complete the work.
A2: Eating healthy & eating a balanced amount is huge! It’s really hard to teach if you’re tired from lunch or hungry still because you didn’t eat enough. Another thing is to ensure you are surrounding yourself by positive people who find the good things not all the negatives!
As I completed research for my diversity class, I found this awesome article about the benefits of STEM education for students with learning disabilities. Definitely a great read with some great points. #steamteams@isteamprof

Essential questions should be posted in your classroom! They help to guide students’ learning through challenging & though provoking questions. These should not be yes or no questions. #steamteams
@TheCraftedClass this is a little below your grade level currently, but I am sure with some modifications it could provide some really cool writing prompts in your classroom!! #STEMeducation#steamteams

@BriannaEbert2 this would be really cool in your classroom! You might already do something like this, but you could make steam minute to win it stations! This would foster great collaboration skills!! #STEMeducation
@Ozobot@sciencewithmsw I have been using Ozobots in my classroom to integrate technology. I have loved watching my students program their robot to make their creations come to life. You should check them out!
@MrColbyWest1 this is a super cool large scale stem project and it could end with a field trip to visit a biosphere// making it relevant! A creation of a biosphere integrates all subjects so well.
CER (claim, evidence, reasoning) in science is one of my favorite strategies to really gauge what my students know. It ensures students are able to explain & support their thoughts with facts. #STEAMTEAMS

“Effective teachers must be treated as active learners.” Yes!! Teachers ARE still learning. Instructional rounds is a great strategy that allows teachers to learn & collaborate with other professionals under the same roof!! #steamteams
In science, we are starting to talk about Earth’s water. Would love to tie it into Latin America’s water to make it interdisciplinary. Do you have any good resources or key points I should target? @macinthemiddle2#steamteams
