“The aim is to provide feedback that is ‛just in time,’ ‘just for me,’ ‘just for where I am in my learning process,’ and ‘just what I need to help me move forward.”

“Just doing—as well as we can, and a little better each day—what our common sense and a substantial body of research points to as the root system of success.” 👇

RMS students in Mr. Scimeca’s class participated in a compressed air rocket activity. The students created one liter bottle compressed air rockets which were attached with fins and a nose cone with the goal of designing the best rocket that would travel the furthest.

Check on your educator friends. 🧡

Students can improve their grades and overcome failing marks when schools allow for nuance in their grading practices. edutopia.org/article/case-a…

RMS students in Derek Skoldberg’s robotics class created their own robots. The goal was to construct and program the best "sumobot" that would win a robotics wrestling competition. The winning sumobot was “Timothe the Toad" created by Manuela Piccolo and Naumikaa Vijayanand!

In honor of Computer Science Education Week #CSEdWeek, students shared how their impressions of computer science changed. Exposure to computer science education demystifies the myths and increases the passion! #RandolphSchools

This is a great infographic.

RMS students studying the aerodynamics of vehicles tested the "dragsters" they built on the "Randolph Raceway." The students’ primary goal was to limit the drag on their vehicles to enhance their vehicle’s performance. Thank you Mr. Lavender for creating this awesome project!

Collaborative learning has to do w/Vygotsky’s “zone of proximal development.” It considers what a student can do if aided by peers and adults. By considering this model, we might consider collaboration to increase students’ awareness of other concepts. bit.ly/2hAhMw7

“We must attend to the heart of teaching—the connections that exist between teachers and students, teachers and teachers, teachers and their leaders, and teachers and the work of teaching.” 👇

Every week, Randolph Middle School Greenhouse Club members participate in sustainability initiatives. Our students are currently growing poinsettias for the holidays. Thank you Bosch USA Community Fund and Randolph Education for supporting this beautiful facility. #RandolphSchools

Astronomy students built spectroscopes to observe different wavelengths of light. According to the American Museum of Natural History, “The composition of stars, nebulae, the Sun, and the atmospheres of other planets are all studied by measuring the precise colors of light they produce, reflect, or absorb.”

Tomorrow is Earth Day which is celebrated annually to support environmental protection and awareness. This week, students in 3rd - 5th grade at Fernbrook Elementary were taught unique Earth Day lessons provided by over 50 Randolph High School Science students. #RandolphSchools

RHS Environmental Science students were tasked with upcycling old materials into something new and creative. The purpose of the upcycling project was to help students identify solutions for garbage pollution which society continues to face. #RandolphSchools

Randolph High School Chemistry students completed a flame test where students used salts to create various colors of fire. The activity helps students learn about differences between types of matter at the subatomic level as well as the energy needed to cause a reaction.
