Excited to spend the day with this amazing group!

Just arrived!

My amazing sister-in-law, who also happens to be a science educator, sent me an image of her student teacher’s digital Driving Question Board. Thank you, Andrew Ruddock, for sharing! Jamboard is a wonderful tool for supporting student collaboration and discourse in a virtual space!

Thank you Colleen Ludka for sharing your amazing class with me today! Preparing a presentation video, but playing LIVE allowed for ease in monitoring the Chat and “pause” to formatively assess and incorporate time for student reflection/notebook development. LincolnPanthers Amplify

Thanks Liz Perkoski for sharing your virtual classroom with me today! Students used four pieces of evidence to independently “notice and wonder”, then worked collaboratively to develop group questions. Break out progress monitored via Google Slides. *Phenomenal!* #noticewonder

After creating our initial models, students engaged in a jamboard gallery walk to give each other feedback (as well as get ideas from each other to revise our models) I was BLOWN AWAY by their ideas and feedback! #distancelearning2020 #ngss #ngsschat

DREAM TEAM of writers and vetters tonight testing out our last segment of an upcoming training piece on Discourse in the #NGSS virtual classroom by the #CANGSS Collaborative - coming Spring 2021!

Just wrapped up with our #SciLitDiscourse writing team to train the presenters of the upcoming #CANGSS Collaborative VIRTUAL PL #1 session! Join us in Jan, Feb, or March 2021 if you are ready to deepen your #NGSS skills and take a deep dive into discourse: bit.ly/33JaQmh

So exciting to see this come to life! Nearly a year in the making...

This amazing team spent the last two days presenting Disciplinary Literacy In Science: Discourse to educators as a part of the work of the #CANGSS Collaborative. Eager for our follow-up sessions this spring! #SciLitDiscourse #ngss

What do a dirty blue sock, an orange sleeping bag, a crafted green box, and a soup tureen all have in common? Just a great morning with the SD Science Leader Network, of course! Thanks @cjcochrane21, John Spiegel, SDHowe & CSinSD!

Congrats to this mighty mantis shrimp #SciLitDiscourse team for four evenings of digging deep into discourse as a way to forefront student sense making of phenomenon #NGSS #CANGSS

Yes! Let’s keep sharing moments like this! #learningfound @cjcochrane21

The updated CA Health Framework is out and ready go!

“Mama, I noticed that this creek looks like a little valley.” What a wonderful conversation we had after this! I never cease to be amazed by what can be observed and articulated by young minds when given the opportunity and the language. #noticewonder

Summer session science at Lincoln Middle is in full swing!

5D Framework for Teaching & Learning meets classroom evidence and ignites powerful conversations.

We’re using a phenomena board to help us organize our sense-making in 4th grade. #NGSS #CANGSS
