I'm excited to share that I'm returning to #ISTElive as a presenter this year! Who in my network is attending? Join me on Monday, June 24th for my session 'Epic Liftoff: PBL, AI, and Launching Engaging Educational Journeys Together'. conference.iste.org/2024/program/s… #ISTE24 #PBL

Rescue pups are the cutest coworkers! These two hung out with me during our @appliedcoaching PBL Reimagined online workshop this week. They only got snacky a few times, which is quite a feat of self-control for Labradors. 🐕‍🦺🦴😉

How are Restorative Practices different from Restorative Justice and Restorative Systems? My colleague Alicia just wrote a helpful post for @appliedcoaching to outline their differences and connections. This is a must read! appliedcoaching.org/post/restorati… #learnercentered

Hey United Airlines! Those are your TYS gate agents and general managers doing everything in their power to keep passengers comfortable during a 6.5 hour delay. They even went out and ordered pizza for everyone! Their kindness is much appreciated!

My Goal: Get Ss to ask better ❓.

A mini-lesson over an animated slide shows the progression of this task.

Zoom-in & read❓7th created as part of the launch to OpenSciEd’s 8.5 Genetics Unit.

In #OpenSciEd classrooms, students do more than memorize facts; they question, discuss, collaborate, and construct their own scientific knowledge! 🚀 #LearnwithOpenSciEd

Often teachers ask us, 'What makes something high quality project based learning versus just another class project?' We created this to try to capture the a flow of a project from a student perspective during #HQPBL . Download for free from our site! bit.ly/3tx18mM

Thank you, #OpenSciEd teachers, for sharing your classrooms with us through your videos and pictures! 🤩 You're making phenomena-based learning a reality, igniting a passion for scientific discovery, and proving that science education can be rigorous, fun, and inspiring.…

Classroom walls are windows to peek at the learning that takes place there. Whose voice is heard? Who owns the learning? Whats more important - process or product? instagram.com/p/Czp8Nsiuhpb/…

The practice of asking ❓ is so important as we engage kids in science. Proud moment here with these 7th graders—their ❓are coherent in our storyline, use their developing vocabulary, & consider CCC. 🟠🟢🔵

OpenSciEd

Working through the launch of OpenSciEd's 7.3 Metabolic Reactions with these goals in mind:

1. Getting Ss to ask better ❓
2. Setting up the #DQB by focal CCC.
3. Brainstorming how we'll answer ❓ by getting up & targeting investigations to specific ❓

These Ss are working!

What are some of the secret ingredients of quality PD? Time to practice, reflection… and educators who have a desire to learn from each other! I had an incredible group of coaches in Campbell Kapolei this week! instagram.com/p/Cx2EoHzOXbs/… #k12 #edu #pbl #pd

In OpenSciEd's 6.6 Healing Unit, 7th graders used vertical whiteboards to summarize BIG IDEAS. Then, table groups revisited the initial healing timeline, id'ing their confidence rating for each event. Convos were so thoughtful about what they've figured out!

It’s been an honor partnering with the Pearl City Waipahu Complex (since 2018!). ❤️ this next chapter - building sustainability from the inside. 👀 this flyer for their upcoming sessions, designed and facilitated by them. Can’t wait to hear about it! #pbl #hqpbl #k12

I left my iPad at my seat on a redeye, but didn’t realize this until two days later! It was collected by the cleaning team and kept safe by the baggage team. Picked it up this morning. So glad United Airlines has my back! Big shoutout to Dennis and Shannon at DEN baggage for their help!

Cool: Teachers from CK Support Office used a blog post by Alicia Peletz of @appliedcoaching to create a list of features for formative assessments. Then, they used these lists to reflect on their own assessments. Read the blog post here! appliedcoaching.org/post/what-is-a… #pbl #learnercentered
