Sigh. I know I always say phenomena don’t have to be phenomenal, but I would have loved to see this. Still, looking at sunspots through Wil van der Veen telescope is cool too. NJ Science Conv NJSELA Lisa Kiel Phenomena NJSTA ScienceRox

This singlehandedly changed the way I approached teaching and learning science— all learning, actually!

Stacey van der Veen Wil van der Veen Reflecting is my jam. Learning with both of you (and other TL and participants) gives me much more to reflect on. It changes how I learn, teach, and lead. Because of it opportunities that I didn't know I wanted 2 years ago (LOL), are opening up for me. And now I am so excited!

On my way in to the city to play this gorgeous music!! Local peeps, what else could you possibly have to do on this rainy night that would be better than this? instagram.com/reel/C6_ab-ntX… instagram.com/reel/C66G4nurP…

We need to focus more on #assessment to support #student learning than #assessment that (often poorly) try to measure #student learning.

Last Friday at our #NGSS Summer Institute Raritan Valley CC we learned about #engineering, how it is different from #science, and how it uses #science to define problems and design solutions. Stacey van der Veen Jennifer Greco, Ed.D. ScienceRox Melissa Frink Jennifer Durkin Evan Berrios Ms. Morgan
