I have no doubt that America is in a position to continue to succeed.
But I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern – and it will be up to the courts, Congress, the free press, and the American people to confront these powerful forces.

How do you feel about #tracking in high school #science courses? I think we can do better. Research generally shows it negatively affects students. Check out a case study of how one high school in Wisconsin got rid of 9th and 10th grade tracking. wisdpiscience.blogspot.com/2…

Why do we persist in #tracking students in high school science classes, when we know evidence does not support it? I talk about that a bit in a recent blog post (and the coming part 2 will share a school's story in this regard) - wisdpiscience.blogspot.com/2…

"We need to find ways to infuse brief bursts of awe and moments of wonder into our education system...it is the work that will be remembered by our students, and it is the work that might make them happier." — Jonathan Scolnick @GreaterGoodSC

If you’re looking to incorporate more metacognition about the three dimensions of the science learning into your classroom, this card activity helps students identify which dimensions of science they engaged with and reflect on the nature of science. bit.ly/NGSSCardsBI
