Wow - look closely and you can see green below the violet. I was fortunate to spot this, the widest #Rainbow 🌈 I’ve ever seen. Thanks Calgary 🇨🇦. After doing some digging I learned this #Phenomenon is called a supernumerary rainbow. What a beautiful way to wrap a cool experience at #Envirothon

Day 2 of summer break. It’s hard to turn my #SciEd brain off. This was my 1st yr teaching #APEnvironmentalScience I enjoyed it & find my mind drifting back towards what I want to do this yr. & I know I oughta rest. What are some ways you shift into summer mode and out of school mode? #EduSky

Bc of the way the Practices 💙 are separated, the structure of #OpenSciEd units, I’ve noticed Ss don’t gain a practical understanding or the rote skills for using Scientific Method. This leaves our AP teachers at a disadvantage & perhaps we need to adjust. What do you think? #NGSS #SciEd

We’ve been fortunate in my district to receive a lot of pd and release time to make sense of these units. 1 bit of advice, take the assessments as a student would before you start teaching the unit. It makes a difference. #SciEd #NGSS #OpenSciEd

1 challenge in shifting to #NGSS 💙🧡💚 is the swapping of job descriptions in the classroom. Teachers ask Qs to facilitate, students make their thinking visible, do the sensing making, & figure out where to go next What are some moves teachers & admin can use to help this transition? #EDUSky 🍎
