The #phenomenabasedlearning workshop is engaging and filled with real-world examples. Add it to your calendar! #PaSTEELS #professionallearning #continuingeducation
Educators: Phenomena-based learning is about transforming the classroom into a place of inquiry and problem-solving. It is foundational to the new PA STEELS Standards. Join us for a free Act 48 workshop to learn more! hubs.li/Q01M5Kx30

Districts & professors of education: STEELS standards have been adopted by the State Board of Ed. Are your teachers prepared to incorporate them? IU13’s Teaching & Learning Collaborative created a tool to facilitate the implementation process. Learn more: hubs.li/Q01M59tl0

Yes. This ❤️
Students who have IEPs are not "special education students." They are just students. They belong to every teacher they have. Receiving a service doesn't change a students identity as a student. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

Love this! It shows the importance of teaching SEPs (science and engineering practices)
Students on the way out today “Ms. Stewart all our models look so different!” Another student “yeah, but they all say almost the same thing.” The power of modeling @OpenSciEd @CaEduTogether @SanMarcosNGSS @msdiranna @UCLAScienceProj @UCSDSP

Are you teaching weather and climate? Here's a great local notice and wonder!
I plotted @millersvilleu's decadal snowfall from the 1930s-2010s, & the results were interesting! The least-snowy decade (1950s) was followed by the snowiest decade (1960s), & snowfall has increased since the 1980s despite a warmer climate. Not a good start to the 2020s though..

Learning through phenomena is incredible. Just look at this picture...who doesn't have questions already? #phenomena #ngss #science #askquestions
#Phenomenon "Dead Man's Hand Fungus" #STEM #3DLearning Students can make sense of the world around them with the help of teaching through phenomena. Resources for teaching through phenomenon based, 3DLearning > bit.ly/3SgzMIr

Science is amazing! 😀 There are phenomena all around us.
Why are the bugs reacting to the guitar?!? How do they all seem to go at once?!? Is the vibration something they hear or feel on the water?!?! How can we design an experiment to figure this out?!? #Science #ngss #ngsschat #ScienceTwitter
