In CA we have adopted NGSS, have an NGSS standardized test, but no approved curricular materials. Really hard for new elem Ts. #ngsschat

And first and foremost (imo) SAFETY TRAINING! Lots of it #Ngsschat

Lesson study model. Opportunity for collaboration with others teaching the same learning progression. #ngsschat

I agree! After a PD there needs to be support on implementation of new learning and ongoing feedback. Also a network is KEY! #NGSSchat

BKd204Sci Oct 19 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1a Encourage them to video themselves Seeing shows a lot of good & areas to grow #NGSSchat

Yes! I think new Ts also need to be coached how to give and receive feedback. Growth is the goal- not to be punitive. #ngsschat

In reply to @tjscience, @LPugh3, @TNTP

JMNorrisISP Oct 19 @ 9:21 PM EDT

So very important to give and receive peer feedback. It can feel safer than admin feedback. #ngsschat

Dora_AMNH Oct 19 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A1 access to video (like @TeachingChannel) can help new Ts see inside classrooms when visitation is difficult or not supported #NGSSchat

Your absolutely right. New teachers need safe practice. This is important so that teachers can really be reflective. #NGSSchat

A2: listen to their wants & needs; offer support in these areas; learn alongside them; share my failures & successes #NGSSchat

Oh I think that admin piece is really important. It is still a struggle and a work in progress. #NGSSchat

True. On the other hand, providing simultaneous prof. learning to Ts and their admins is powerful.

ChienforSTEM Oct 19 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3: 1/2 #NGSS is easy b/c you start where Ss are at. Ss make observations and ask questions about phenomena. Engagement is high. #NGSSchat

kmgill135 Oct 19 @ 9:33 PM EDT

I think NGSS is challenging-it requires such a different role for the teacher. #ngsschat

stephananny79 Oct 19 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3 - Hard: Being vague leaves teachers wondering if they've taught everything students need. Not definite set curriculum. #ngsschat

flabellinaJG Oct 19 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3: new cred T, Easy: coming in on even footing w/ other Ts for shifting, hard when raised in “old” standards to “get” S-centered #NGSSChat

BMSscienceteach Oct 19 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A3) I think an issue w/ NGSS & new teachers is who is around them. Are they "old school" resistant to change or willing to change? #ngsschat

A4 Go slowly into 3D learning, but go deliberately. It's ok to get it wrong. In fact, it's necessary. #Ngsschat

Ted_NSTA Oct 19 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Glad it worked for you. I usually suggest Ts look at practices first #NGSSchat

Value going deep instead of wide. Read evidence statements and appendices. Observe and be observed. Twitter and go to conferences. #ngsschat

My department has noticed that scaling down assessments to smaller, focused tasks is vital #NGSSchat

I tell new Ts that the first year is the "waffle" year. When you make waffles, you always throw the first one away. #Ngsschat

A5: I encourage a focus on modeling -- great way to elicit student understanding and see it develop over time #ngsschat

TdiShelton - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Great advice for new and ALL teachers-- find your WHY :) #NGSSchat

flabellinaJG Oct 19 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A5: Prioritize relationship w/Ss-your job is 2 teach KIDS, don’t let challenges stop you-try again, find like-minded colleagues #NGSSChat

VogelWendi Oct 19 @ 9:56 PM EDT

I wonder if we need to make sense of something to have a reason to write these pieces too? #NGSSChat

A5: New Ts should be open-minded, take risks, make learning engaging & meaningful,& be reflective.We would want Ss to do the same #NGSSchat

GregPraterBHS Oct 19 @ 9:57 PM EDT

YES. The best assessments are formative and nearly invisible to the the students. #ngsschat

I had to abbreviate in my tweet, but it deserves repeating TEACHERS ARE HEROES If you're in the classroom, thanks for all you do #NGSSchat

Ted_NSTA Oct 19 @ 9:54 PM EDT
A5: Find a mentor to advise you Find peers to work with Focus on Practices Remember you only have a 1st year once Ts are heroes #NGSSchat

A5: surround yourself with positive & productive people who share your same passion #NGSSchat

VogelWendi Oct 19 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Agree, esp w/ eval tools. But, what if they were shorter? Or pre and post models that have new phen to explain same content? #NGSSChat
