We are coming up on “testing season” again. Here’s an important reminder.

Make time. Kids deserve this. “10. Safeguard Science and Social Studies: Even the most content-rich English language arts curriculum cannot substitute for strong science and social studies instruction—and such instruction can help build literacy skills.” ascd.org/blogs/looking-…

Just a few pages into CREATE for STEM College of Education David Stoupe’s new book. Has me thinking about how to support classroom science communities > “delivery pedagogy”. Looking ahead to Chapter 2 about pernicious myths that limit opportunities. #knowledgebuilding MI Science Teachers

If your HS science department is looking for #ngss phenomena to build some units around in a multidisciplinary way, Chapter 7 You Are Where You Eat starts with this sentence: “Imagine you’re a deuterium atom.” Kudos @r_heisman for this book. MI Science Teachers #bio #physics #chem #earth

Lots to notice and wonder as Richard Bacolor engages educators in place based learning. #KidsInNature Wayne RESA #WRESA
