Check out this new blog on supporting ELs/MLs in science! By Dr. Emily Miller (formerly of WI), along w/ Drs. Emily Reigh & Jenn Bateman. It shares five specific strategies with more details linked for each one - https://t.co/iwNQL6OWKb

Grateful to Sarah Blechacz who guest wrote my most recent blog post - https://t.co/Kgo3neVUtO. She tells the story of the Wauwatosa School Dist working toward improving access for all students to great high school science! It is part 3 of my #detracking #science series.

How do you feel about #tracking in high school #science courses? I think we can do better. Research generally shows it negatively affects students. Check out a case study of how one high school in Wisconsin got rid of 9th and 10th grade tracking. https://t.co/E2xDJnuuzX

Why do we persist in #tracking students in high school science classes, when we know evidence does not support it? I talk about that a bit in a recent blog post (and the coming part 2 will share a school's story in this regard) - https://t.co/DbOlp0GnnY

@WillieETCarver Where will you be? We could help publicize and some of us might want to be there.

[Wisconsin Science Education Leadership Association @wiscileaders]

@WillieETCarver Love the book - your poem, "Scientist," is the most inspirational poem we've read in a lonnnnggg time. Thank you!

New article: Masculinized discourses of STEM interest, performance, and competence that shape university STEM students' recognition of a “STEM person”

Check their @heidician, @remydou RB and VA to explore more.

@GholdyM Maybe. In many cases it would be nice if they were clear supplements or replacements for popular existing materials. I'd be happy to help in #science! Lots of nuances there #priorities

So grateful for the seed money that got us started on our Embedded Ag dreams. Today @mheilberger and I were able to share the wonderful program that is growing between @SDWEnvEd and @waukeshaschools FACS.
