Is behaviour worse in schools? 🧵 Almost universally the (hundreds of) schools I have spoken to have said YES - and attributed this to mental health and emotional problems arising from the pandemic. BUT . . .
During #NSTASpring24, Sarah Delaney shared the Substitute Plan Strategies guide. This resource offers crowd-sourced substitute plans and strategies gathered from educators globally who utilize OpenSciEd materials in their teaching. Download it here ➡️ tinyurl.com/yetr4ut6!
Teachers don’t get burned out from working with kids. We get burned out from playing school. There’s a simple, sustainable joy in working with, even for, kids. Let us teach. We’re pretty good at it.
BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day! These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years. ShowYourStripes.info
A few photos of the work of the incredible 8th grade teachers at @BosCollegeOEI’s round 4 professional learning event. I had a blast working with these incredibly gifted and dedicated teachers!
Cannot quite wrap my mind around the immense honor of being named a #PAEMST state finalist! Thankful for the support and inspiration from my family, my students, and my colleagues.
#greenmeansgo 🎉 High quality instructional materials make a HUGE difference in students' ability to be engaged, excited, and curious about the world around them. So happy to be one of the 48K teachers using the #openscied curriculum in my classroom! #allgoodallgreen #edreports
Absolutely love teaching in a district that acknowledges, supports, and encourages the work I, along with an amazing crew of other facilitators, have been doing to help bring the amazing @OpenSciEd curriculum to as many classrooms as possible! #scienceisforeveryone
Excited to announce the release of a new @AcesseProject resource at @STEMTeachTools, This extended professional learning resource focuses on on how to select phenomena with deep personal and community relevance. #NGSSchat #NSFfunded stemteachingtools.org/pd/SessionH
We had more than 100 active participants at the first one! The recording will be posted soon. We hope there will be even more to join us for the next one. See you there!

New teachers: listen. Listen to how the teachers around you talk about teaching and the students. Gravitate toward the ones who are doing the work you want to do one day.
Loved spending my last week of summer break facilitating and learning alongside these awesome educators at the Wenatchee Summer Institute #OpenSciEd #equitablescience #sensemaking @Pearwilliambaur @OpenSciEd
We face a persistent challenge: bringing science learning opportunities to the Ts & Ss who need them most. That’s why we created the Access Fund. It’s designed to connect our proven programs w/ schools & districts that are being left behind. Donate today! bit.ly/3QRVW3n

Watching the lunar eclipse with my 8yo and he runs inside to grab some paper and a pencil. He modeled the phenomenon for me! My NGSS heart is about to burst! #lunareclipse #sciencemodeling #phenomenalscience
Isn’t it dreamy? 😍 #RocketbookAxis @GetRocketbook
Another round of @OpenSciEd Chemistry facilitator professional learning is in the books! ✅ I'm so proud / grateful / humbled to have the opportunity to play some small part in getting these high-quality materials into the hands of teachers and students around the country! #NGSS

That's a wrap on #NSTASpring24! Thank you to all the outstanding presenters who championed #OpenSciEd at the conference. You helped ignite countless teachers' passion for phenomenon-based science education (and sparked their interest in OpenSciEd 🤩)! #OpenSciEdatNSTA
A productive week exploring and taking a deep dive into @OpenSciEd units with science educators in Rockford, IL! @KiraVanWinkle
I found you a resting spot buddy. You’re only 5 minutes away. See you lots!❤️
I wanted to share my updated graphic with y'all because 1) it's pretty and 2) I've included CHECKING FOR A RESPONSE. So many times, students asked if I'd gotten their email and when I told them I responded, they'd be so shocked. THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP! #heymrsbond
Spent the last two days in community with Washington science teachers who are committed to developing equitable assessment and grading practices for students! My heart is full! ❤️ #NGSS #Contextus #Ungrading
In addition to figuring out how a truck speaker shakes windows in @OpenSciEd Unit 8.2, Ss also figure out a related phenomena: How a blind man named J uses Flash Sonar to navigate. What a treat to spend the day with our phenomenon to figure out sound!
@johannabrown I think it is really important to share the wins and the misses. Thank you for being so transparent. I think so highly of you, so it feels reassuring when the people that so hold in high esteem also might not get everything they go for.
A new series where I tweet one thing a day that I’m thinking or learned about in #ScienceEducation at the end of my work day. Today: Shifting assessment and grading practices in science isn’t talked about enough. (I’m hoping I can make this a practice and get better at it.)
@k8roulette2 Oh, Darren. We are worn out. But not by tampons, man.
@nicolejbolduc @OpenSciEd Thank you @nicolejbolduc , @KiraVanWinkle, @CariWilliamz , @LouisaHodges12 , and @SciTeachCJN for your excellent facilitation of the 2022 @OpenSciEd Summer Institutes in WA state. I've been hearing great things from classrooms of the teachers you met last summer.
Wanted to share that I went up for something kind of big recently and didn’t get it. And you know, I feel great about having even the opportunity. Younger me wouldn’t have even attempted, so this is a huge win! Here’s to all of us continuing to try. ❤️
Good morning and happy #NerdyTShirtFriday from foggy Atlanta! Hoping to see some of you today at 2:40 in B303 to talk #ungrading at #NSTA23.
Congratulations to our 2023 science state finalists: Nicole Bolduc, Douglas Haddad, and Joseph Mancino #paemst
Great turnout for the #NSTA23 First Timer’s Session! Happy day one, everyone!
Join me to learn how to help students generate, categorize, and investigate their questions! “Using the QFT (Question Formulation Technique) to Help Drive an NGSS Storyline” Friday, March 24 • 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM #NSTA23 @OpenSciEd @RightQuestion
We are hosting 24 sessions this year! 🤩 Each session will support teachers in the following areas: 🟢 Teaching Strategies and Classroom Practice 🟢 Equity and Justice 🟢 Leadership and Advocacy 🟢 and more! Check out some of our sessions below! #NSTA23
Yesterday we finished our last day of professional learning for the @OpenSciEd HS field test. It has been so rewarding to work with this amazing group of teachers who are changing what science instruction looks like in WA state.
There is no greater feeling than hearing that someone who you encouraged to apply for #PAEMST is a finalist! This must be how @SecaurPhysics feels all the time. :)
I’m honored to be a #PAEMST state finalist! Feeling thankful for my support system, especially for those who encouraged and inspired me along the way.
If you hate cooking like me, I promise you these are so easy, and they SLAP. BRB making these weekly.
