Proud of my science staff @SkylineHighA2 Four of them spending their summer improving. APBio, APPhysics, and two started the 3 week modeling Biology. 3 of them just finished their 1st year teaching #modeling #ngss @A2schools

Info must be kept in working memory throughout a class period/at least part of a class period if it's to be encoded. To trigger and maintain situational interest, use 1) game-like activities, 2) friendly controversy, 3) unusual information, and 4) effective questioning strategies

[Robert J. Marzano @robertjmarzano]

Have students track effort and preparation along with their academic performances to heighten their awareness about the connection between the two, thus enhancing their own sense of self-efficacy. #studentengagement

[Robert J. Marzano @robertjmarzano]

To design a standards-referenced system, a district must first reorganize state standards into a format that can be used to track student progress using formative/summative scores. The process starts by rewriting the standards at each grade level into a series of learning goals.

Today's unit introduction to the learning objective relating the energy of light to its thermal energy and explain the differences between the line spectra of light emitted by atomic gases. #modelingchemistry #phenomenabasedinquiry #ngss @SkylineHighA2 @A2schools

I believe that if it were standard operating procedure in every classroom that teachers communicate affection to ALL students, schools would be places where every student felt a sense of belonging and esteem, and it would enhance student achievement. #NASOT

If the salt tracked onto the tennis courts is creating a serious problem, imagine what it does to streams, rivers, and other water ecosystems. @duffy_ma
