Are you an OC educator interested in supporting your students as they collaborate to design something that solves a real-world problem, need, or want in this time of distance and hybrid learning? The ocMaker Challenge is just what you are looking for! Register today to hear more!
Looking forward to this webinar! Check it out...
Super excited to share a model to support reading practice for all students! @SarahLedon @unboundedu @mrsmillergrade1 @ClassroomD4 @MandyPolen @FLMathNinja @janaki_aleena @lockhartedu @RBobinchuck @edtechgirl @NatalieFranzi @JanaBryant14 @apriliowamath @salg274

One of the high school 🏫 students from @SantaAnaUSD wrote this about the Next Generation Science Standards as a reflection exit ticket after their group activity. My #ngsschat heart ❤️ melted 😭!
It’s exciting to see this take flight in our classroom. We have a beautiful group of eager 3rd graders who are developing confidence, feeding their curiosity, and sharing their joy with each other.
“When students have ownership of their reading, successful, independent readers begin to bloom.” Here’s the importance of creating a love of reading—and how to do it.

In order to make claims about whether students are meeting the NGSS, tasks must require students to bring their understanding of crosscutting concepts elements to the table as they sense-make.
But what does it look like to assess CCCs? Read more: achieve.org/files/sites/defa…

The energy at #CANGSS Statewide #Rollout6 at @ocdestem was phenomenal! Loved facilitating with @JennerRasic & Andrea, science advocates in @OCDeptofEd in the grades 3-5 #NGSS learning sequence with an #environmentalliteracy focus! 💙🧡💚🌎🌍🌏
Shout out to my amazing partner!

"When we sense discomfort in our classrooms, we can be quick to explain and provide steps to follow. But removing the struggle for students also removes the cognitive heavy lifting that leads to deep learning and understanding." edutopia.org/article/talk-le…
So much I’d love to say about this. Constantly impressed by what our students can do when given the chance.

How fabulous would this be?Imagine the possibilities.
At #CGCS19 today, @AchieveInc and @GreatCitySchls are presenting on their survey of the State of Science in 56 of the nation’s largest urban districts to district leaders at the conference. Below is a sneak peak of the presentation and one of the key findings.

Mark Windschitl, co-author of Ambitious Science Teaching, asks us “Who is participating in your classroom?” Are powerpoints, worksheets, and vocabulary words tuning kids out? How can we expand participation? @ImperialCOE @cjcochrane21 @sdngss @twnklstrr #Region9CP @capmse
PYLUSD teams are looking forward to this amazing opportunity!
Getting the final details together for the Region 9 Science Community of Practice - Two days of learning with 140 participants around #NGSS and Ambitious Science Teaching. Excited about the AST tools to support planning and learning @capsme @SanDiegoCOE @cascience
