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
"Of all the arguments supporting increased investment in STEM education... (one) argument eclipses each of them: STEM improves the lives of individuals... and in so doing,... improves communities and the country at large." in --> https://t.co/hfJ1YhgeQa #STEMeducation#STEM
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

Congratulations to the @ChippewaFallsSD high school robotics team on their @gomake48 win - amazing work and great to see them rewarded for it! https://t.co/V2FCCnntV1
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.
