MDHJohnson Sep 15 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@mbarmstr No, only got grant for western part of KY. :-( #ngsschat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Q1 A1: I think you have to have a frank convo with admins at beg of year about that. Set the priorities. #NGSSchat

Steph4Science Sep 15 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1: Authentic enthusiasm! Not too many sci initiatives have caused so many to reflect on their practice in this way before #NGSSchat

BMSscienceteach Sep 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@quincygirls1 @TdiShelton @NGSS_tweeps Hosting really does make you think. #ngsschat

BKd204Sci Sep 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@FredEnde A1 Give an initiative more than one year to make an impact. We change on the fly before results can be seen #ngsschat

mturnageisp Sep 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@FredEnde I think schools/districts have to focus & give an initiative time to produce sufficient data or results before jumping. #NGSSchat

MrsRosellRHS Sep 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1: find overlaps in the initiatives. For ex- we are doing #CoT & visible thinking which overlap w NGSS. #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@envirojer Welcome, Jeremy! #NGSSchat

karalu79 Sep 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1a: In KS, we talk about our vision for science ed. If we ran the world, what would our classrooms look like. #ngsschat

@GregPraterBHS Hi Greg! Hope you can sign up for our Academy that starts Nov. 4. @UKPIMSER #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@Steph4Science How is authentic enthusiasm different from inauthentic? #NGSSchat

zoe_evans Sep 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1: Prioritize. Combine when you can. Remember that it is better to do a few things well than many things poorly. #NGSSchat

ehoffman Sep 15 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1. Multitask! Help tchrs find concrete instructional strategies that move towards NGSS that can also be used for SLOs #NGSSchat

envirojer Sep 15 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Plus.... Our school is getting a great #greenhouse #NGSSchat Time to grow! https://t.co/bIfcA6KNi2

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@zoe_evans Talk more about the "Combine when you can" philosophy. #NGSSchat

rachelgeneve Sep 15 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1: ask stakeholders to look closely at similarities and differences to plot past and future. What is the trend line? #ngsschat

MrsRosellRHS Sep 15 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1: communicate w leadership the importance & significance of this shift. Might need to take priority #ngsschat

auntjennoelle Sep 15 @ 9:16 PM EDT

MDHJohnson Sep 15 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@tjscience Just a typical night for a sci guy, right? #ngsschat

@mturnageisp @FredEnde definitely not to put initiatives before understanding curriculum #ngsschat

krademaker Sep 15 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Ongoing systematic pd is needed to do this right #NGSSChat

2footgiraffe Sep 15 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1- 1 year we had 9 significant initiatives. I didn't do any, too overwhelmed. Next year we had 5. I focused on 1 big difference #ngsschat

jaclyn_austin Sep 15 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1: Shifting the course of science education- like an aircraft carrier-needs wide berth. Give time & energy to change course #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@gablejen @mturnageisp Could understanding of curriculum be an initiative? #NGSSchat

richbacolor Sep 15 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1: Start with Why is the key. Does the initiative move the needle on our goal(s)? Are the arrows aligned? #ngsschat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@FredEnde i tell you which ones to prioritize and why since t's know their S's best #NGSSchat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:18 PM EDT

T's being honest with admins is something too uncommon #NGSSchat

mturnageisp Sep 15 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@BKd204Sci @FredEnde for sure! We know how to analyze data and teach our students those practices then don't follow them. #ngsschat

TdiShelton - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@ehoffman Great point! #NGSS is based on the latest research on how kids learn-common ground w/ great pedagogy #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@aryah_fradkin What if I push back because I think I know what's best for school. How do you respond? #NGSSchat

Go big or go home!!! Wait, I'm already home - not sure what the appropriate quote is here... 🤔 #ngsschat https://t.co/TZr98cS0Nb

karalu79 Sep 15 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A1c: Once we tie it to our visions - it doesn't feel like "just another initiative". We want to do anyway. #ngsschat

BMSscienceteach Sep 15 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1) Can be hard but why are we doing it? What's the goal? Is it just something new to just say we're trying something new? #ngsschat

2footgiraffe Sep 15 @ 9:19 PM EDT

True, some admins can't handle the truth :) I have been lucky to have 3 that have been very attentive #ngsschat https://t.co/SG9HDKSLVi

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:18 PM EDT

T's being honest with admins is something too uncommon #NGSSchat

A1. Keep your eye on the prize - student learning and doing what's best for Ss. Can't miss with NGSS for that. #ngsschat

@FredEnde depends on school..some more open to T creativity with curriculum than others..but i would experiment 1st, ask q's later #NGSSchat

richbacolor Sep 15 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@FredEnde Exactly. In my new role, I keep asking how does this work help Ts help Ss? If I can answer that, there’s a problem. #ngsschat

Grateful to have a principal who trusts that I know what I'm doing. #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Q1: In edu, it isn’t uncommon for schools/districts to suffer from infinite initiatives. What advice do you have for addressing? #NGSSchat

CASherwood Sep 15 @ 9:23 PM EDT

How does this happen when others do not always c them or appreciate them as the experts they are? #ngsschat https://t.co/uTEiPQTFQL

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:20 PM EDT

T's have to remember they are experts..act like it in a respectful way #NGSSchat

TdiShelton - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Yes! Definitely start w/ WHY with all stakeholders: teacher, admin, parent, student #NGSSchat https://t.co/muYxKaGgFe

richbacolor Sep 15 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1: Start with Why is the key. Does the initiative move the needle on our goal(s)? Are the arrows aligned? #ngsschat

ehoffman Sep 15 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Very true @zoe_evans - expertise of science teachers can really help admins to understand NGSS and shifts in science #NGSSchat

WV25443 Sep 15 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@HenSciTeachR but how do you deal with slow adapters? the world is changing so quickly #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Q2. coming up in a moment! #NGSSchat

Less content can mean deeper learning and time to move beyond the walls #ngsschat https://t.co/EXMpTUjAjJ

spiraledu Sep 15 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Just like Place-based learning, schools should focus on things that are relevant to their student population! #ngsschat

TdiShelton - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Q2. To some, #NGSS work might be just another example of initiative creep. How would you build capacity for #NGSS as a priority? #NGSSchat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@CASherwood as T's we have to give off the expert persona. if not appreciated find place where it is..i see too many depressed t's #NGSSchat

mturnageisp Sep 15 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@FredEnde @gablejen I think understanding curriculum is a precursor to any initiative. If you don't know what you're teaching.....#ngsschat

gablejen Sep 15 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@2footgiraffe on flip side we are told what and how to teach at district level #ngsschat

MrsPotterNelson Sep 15 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@CASherwood When I was a DC, I encouraged a few tchrs dept. to shut their doors & do their thing...others will come around in time #ngsschat

Steph4Science Sep 15 @ 9:25 PM EDT

We know good sci takes time+practice 2 execute yet we don't give ourselves the same courtesy as Ts when dealing w/new curriculum #NGSSchat

richbacolor Sep 15 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@2footgiraffe @gablejen Totally agree. Leadership matters. Just ask any UMichFootball fan.#ngsschat

MsBolandSci Sep 15 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A1: I think it's important to establish the relevance and the need for the initiative and then team together and prioritize #ngsschat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A2: have to emphasize the skill building potential of NGSS, connection to future jobs #NGSSchat

TdiShelton - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Great perspective! #NGSSchat https://t.co/5t2HxZnsQP

HollyMcGoran Sep 15 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1: first ask how the intiative ties in with the overall vision & mission of the district, school, or department #NGSSchat

ehoffman Sep 15 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@WV25443 @HenSciTeachR also, sometimes it can be best to move forward w/ those who are ready, and let them inspire others to join #NGSSchat

CASherwood Sep 15 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Productive peer groups. I like this. Often needed to develop buy-in and understanding. #ngsschat https://t.co/FYqRECesu8

HenSciTeachR Sep 15 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1:Take it slow, and develop a strong PLN. It is hard to get everyone headed in the same direction sometimes. #ngsschat

MrsRosellRHS Sep 15 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A2: focus on the transferable skills inherent in ngss curriculum. So much value even as things change #ngsschat

notbrianreiser Sep 15 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A1: More schools need PBIS - Purposeful Belief in Initiative Study. Students don't need content or practices, they need PBIS. #ngsschat

HollyMcGoran Sep 15 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A1: then determine the journey & supports needed to tackle the initiative; all the while remembering to do what's best for kids #NGSSchat

HenSciTeachR Sep 15 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@WV25443 That's what I am trying to figure out :) It is challenging! #ngsschat

Dora_AMNH Sep 15 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A2 #ngsschat for us in NYC showing connections to common core ELA and math helps.

richbacolor Sep 15 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@zoe_evans Good point. How do you think we should help admins understand HUGE shifts in NGSS? #ngsschat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:26 PM EDT

if you're doing amazing things with NGSS, the need for the curric speaks for itself #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@aryah_fradkin How would you counter concerns that other aspects of school work already do this? #NGSSchat

BKd204Sci Sep 15 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@TdiShelton A2 It is not a new fangled idea, it is based on research and intertwines all aspects of sci ed. Focus on research #ngsschat

MDHJohnson Sep 15 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A2. Think of Ts as head learners. Need to stay in turn w/ what we know works for learning. Show how #ngss does that. #ngsschat

krademaker Sep 15 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A1 what is the why, is there a goal and a plan how it help students. Those ? Need to be answered b4 u start #NGSSChat

MsBolandSci Sep 15 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A2: Get your science Ts into workshops and other districts to see #NGSS in action- it's the best way to teach science #ngsschat

MrsPotterNelson Sep 15 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A2: There is such a focus on skills and the practicality of science and thinking. #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@MrsRosellRHS what if you received a response that other subjects/courses/etc. provide for transferable skills? #ngsschat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@FredEnde the lack of evidence that our kids are prepared for the jobs that are being offered #NGSSchat

WV25443 Sep 15 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A2: choose a few learning expectations and focus on them each year #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@aryah_fradkin Can't argue with data (or lack thereof). #NGSSchat

BMSscienceteach Sep 15 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A2) It is what is best for students, ground in research, well thought out set of standards. #ngsschat

MDHJohnson Sep 15 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@MsBolandSci Experience the power of learning this way. Amen! #ngsschat

BKd204Sci Sep 15 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A2 #NGSS is a pedagogy shift not new wrapping paper on an old gift. It is more concrete than other initiatives #ngsschat

ehoffman Sep 15 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A2- the ideas of depth, inquiry, relevance/application are already priorities for teachers; use PD to show how NGSS allows that #NGSSchat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@FredEnde data always wins, if you can read it right:-) #NGSSchat

MsBolandSci Sep 15 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A2: NGSS is not an overnight shift, alignment takes time, allow admin/Ts to explore the 3-D picture and then move forward #ngsschat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:29 PM EDT

NGSS cross cutting skills are huge benefit, missing from many current forms of curriculum #NGSSchat

CASherwood Sep 15 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A chicken or egg thing? Ts need to act like experts, but also be treated as such - what happens first? #ngsschat https://t.co/GTv5Ved64I

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@CASherwood as T's we have to give off the expert persona. if not appreciated find place where it is..i see too many depressed t's #NGSSchat

spiraledu Sep 15 @ 9:29 PM EDT

#NGSS is cross-curricular,its easy to imbed into every day learning. Its nothing new to add-on, it just extends whats already done #NGSSchat

TdiShelton - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@Dora_AMNH Love how beautifully #CCSS is tied to #NGSS + love hearing stories=using discovery/engagement of Sci to teach #CCSS #NGSSchat

MDHJohnson Sep 15 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A2. Student enthusiasm is powerful evidence, too. #ngsschat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@CASherwood in my exp. T's cant wait for respect, have to prove we deserve it #NGSSchat

2footgiraffe Sep 15 @ 9:30 PM EDT

MsBolandSci Sep 15 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A2: NGSS is already here. Ts and Ss already discuss and do these practices in their lives, we just need to expose everyone #ngsschat

bio_nancy Sep 15 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A1: a colleague once told me that good teaching is good teaching -there's some of that in every initiative, so concentrate on that #ngsschat

richbacolor Sep 15 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@MrsRosellRHS @zoe_evans Agreed. Can be tough to get time w/ admins. Lots on their plates too. #ngsschat

reverse psych. also works with admins.."will you come show me how to teach that" often gets you more freedom #NGSSchat

Steph4Science Sep 15 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A4: I see Ts concerned w/ how testing will change and how states r interpreting standards. I try to focus on broad learning shifts #NGSSchat

mturnageisp Sep 15 @ 9:44 PM EDT

#ngsschat a4: I think one of the difficulties we face is reaching teachers who don't know the depth Ngss can bring to their teaching

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@zoe_evans How do we remove that fear? #NGSSchat

CASherwood Sep 15 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@MDHJohnson So true. How do you tackle this? #ngsschat

MrsRosellRHS Sep 15 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A4: some admin think we already teach this way so it's no big deal! I am struggling to get them to see this is not the case #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@MrsPotterNelson Even a strikeout teaches us something. #NGSSchat

zoe_evans Sep 15 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A4 Part 2: In my state, been 10+ yrs since new stands. Lots of inertia as a result. #ngsschat

MDHJohnson Sep 15 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@MrsPotterNelson Yes, yes, yes! Didn't go quite as planned BUT what did we learn? #ngsschat

krademaker Sep 15 @ 9:45 PM EDT

Some want everything to change at once and it just can't so some give up. #NGSSChat

GregPraterBHS Sep 15 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A4. Embracing personal failure while learning to right REAL 3D experiences, assessments and tasks.Cant give up. #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@Steph4Science How do you help edus see the forest and not just the trees? #NGSSchat

richbacolor Sep 15 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A4: Most Ts have to experience the power of 3D with S hat on first. Big change. Takes an open-mind & willingness to be a learner. #ngsschat

BMSscienceteach Sep 15 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A4) We're already doing it! Fear. Unwillingness to change. #ngsschat

kmgill135 Sep 15 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A4: Obstacle-thinking that we just need to rearrange the "topics" #ngsschat

MDHJohnson Sep 15 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@zoe_evans Sigh, wish assmnt didn't drive so much, but can be used as a lever to get support. #ngsschat

HollyMcGoran Sep 15 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@richbacolor @Steph4Science @MrsPotterNelson Agreed! Important to allow parents the chance to see this new way of learning as well #NGSSchat

HenSciTeachR Sep 15 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A4: Time to find resources. Finding engaging ways to get kids to be curious again. #ngsschat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:46 PM EDT

i hope NGSS becomes so pop in the next year so bad test can change that, ala common core #NGSSchat

BKd204Sci Sep 15 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A4 @TdiShelton Getting very vet teachers to shed old habits and sustain the momentum of what is happening in the classroom #ngsschat

rachelgeneve Sep 15 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A3: 😳 abt silo-ed efforts. Customization is important but so is establishing norms. Aligning district & state strategies is key. #ngsschat

jaclyn_austin Sep 15 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A4: Change is bumpy, messy and imperfect- we encourage Ss to embrace and learn, but we must also embrace as adults to move ahead #ngsschat

MsBolandSci Sep 15 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A4: Realizing that the shift is going to be messy and full of mistakes and that's ok. The Ss will learn with you. #NGSS is messy #ngsschat

ehoffman Sep 15 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A4. Takes time, effort, and resources to retool class content to align w/NGSS. T's need collaboration time like never before #NGSSchat

GregPraterBHS Sep 15 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A4 haha voice chat doesnt appreciate my hillbilly dialect. "write" not right #ngsschat

auntjennoelle Sep 15 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A4: Ts not being comfortable w/content (elem.); Ts wanting a textbook or kit to use (script to follow) and more...#ngsschat

Dora_AMNH Sep 15 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A4 #NGSSchat teacher eval based on current tests (ex. Regents scores). Ts (and admins)say, my kids already pass, why do anything differently

MsBolandSci Sep 15 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A4: Ts need to develop rubrics for everything and use the PEs for standards based. NGSS is not a multiple choice assessment #ngsschat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@Dora_AMNH point of school isnt to pass tests..its to build skills, right? #NGSSchat

BKd204Sci Sep 15 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A4 Having courage to change from what you did to what you need to do in the classroom is also a big obstacle #ngsschat

HollyMcGoran Sep 15 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@Dora_AMNH Yes! You can't have coherence without vertical collaboration #NGSSchat

ehoffman Sep 15 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@MsBolandSci SO important. Baby steps are OK - but let's keep trying to move forward! #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@auntjennoelle How do we get so caught up in scripting? How can we teach others it is okay to say, "I don't know?" #NGSSchat

MDHJohnson Sep 15 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@CASherwood Experiencing the learning as envisioned is a start. Small steps to move. Examples, videos, prayer. #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Q5. on the way! #NGSSchat

Steph4Science Sep 15 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@FredEnde #NGSSchat many know deep down things could improve. I often ask them 2 describe ideal classroom and it sounds like spirit of NGSS

TdiShelton - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@richbacolor Such a great point-- the willingness to be a learner is huge and for me-- exciting/ a second phase to my career #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Q5. Follow-up: How have you started (or finished) overcoming your obstacles from Q4? #NGSSchat

lesliefarooq Sep 15 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Hey, #ngsschat! I am late to the #science party! I'm Leslie, an instructional coach in Mexico. We are enjoying our second year w/ #NGSS.

MsBolandSci Sep 15 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A4: Ts need to be willing and know that your units will evolve with you. Reflecting and revising is part of our daily practice #ngsschat

quincygirls1 Sep 15 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Q4 T's are afraid of the time it takes to do activities like modeling and don't want to give up some topics. #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@ehoffman And direction, right? Time is only helpful when we know where we want to go! #NGSSchat

MDHJohnson Sep 15 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@kmgill135 Sean Elkins in KY calls it folder swaps. #ngsschat

BMSscienceteach Sep 15 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A5) Trying to be a model - trying to go slow with some of the Ts who think they are doing or are unwilling to change. #ngsschat

ehoffman Sep 15 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@FredEnde very true - like velocity, we need both speed and direction ;) #NGSSchat

@MDHJohnson @zoe_evans We need an entire assessment system for #ngss. One test is NOT going to measure 3D, especially MC only. #ngsschat

mturnageisp Sep 15 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@FredEnde @zoe_evans #ngsschat if I can jump in. I think we show the data. Use student achievement and create a CER that supports using ngss

auntjennoelle Sep 15 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@MrsDVollmer @acooper_pc @rjfrohn I can't wait to get started :) #ngsschat

lesliefarooq Sep 15 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A1: Grin and bear it? Lots of great things to try. Pick one or two and focus. Don't spread yourself too thin. Quality > Quantity #ngsschat

jaclyn_austin Sep 15 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A5:Build trust is key-allow space for trying new techniques, accepting +/- feedback; we are all learning with & from each other #ngsschat

Steph4Science Sep 15 @ 9:50 PM EDT

MDHJohnson Sep 15 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@BKd204Sci We old dogs can learn new tricks. #ngsschat

zoe_evans Sep 15 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A5 @FredEnde We are being intentional w/PLC time to make sure we go slow and keep moving together. #ngsschat

lesliefarooq Sep 15 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A2: It can work well as a T-led PLC. One or two committed Ts motivate peers and next thing you know, you've switched! #ngsschat

BMSscienceteach Sep 15 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@BKd204Sci @FredEnde If we try to go too fast, we'll lose people and get it wrong. This takes time. #ngsschat

A5 #NGSSchat can't force it. Working on trying to show successful results as way to get resistant players on board.

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@BMSscienceteach @BKd204Sci That's why initiatives need to be measured on impact, not time. #NGSSchat

ehoffman Sep 15 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A5. Stay positive, no matter what. The end goal - teaching & learning science deeply - is worth it. #NGSSchat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:52 PM EDT

admins come and go..good teaching is forever. #NGSSchat

MDHJohnson Sep 15 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@auntjennoelle Hope #ngss can help Ts learn to love science and not fear it. Willing to dig in. #ngsschat

Steph4Science Sep 15 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A5: Doing better on a test not the reason for these standards. Creating stronger Ss and improving education for all is. #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@ehoffman Positivity is so important. Must model moving forward, rather than moving back. #NGSSchat

MsBolandSci Sep 15 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A5: Get Ts in to observe what you're doing. Show them it's fun and doable. Reach the PE at your own pace, the Ss will follow/lead #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@BKd204Sci Right. All about knowing your audience! #NGSSchat

bio_nancy Sep 15 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A4: Ts being tied to "but that's the way I've always done it" #ngsschat

lesliefarooq Sep 15 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@spiraledu Agreed, it more formally states/explains what inquiry-based classrooms were already *doing* with science! #NGSSchat

MrsPotterNelson Sep 15 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A5: Trust & support those who are leading the way & those who are unsure. Change is messy and not always fun or easy. #ngsschat

MDHJohnson Sep 15 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@Dora_AMNH Sigh, so true. How are they doing beyond HS? Do we have the #'s needed in sci and eng fields? #ngsschat

BMSscienceteach Sep 15 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Always looking for people to take a chance and host @NGSS_tweeps for a week. DM me if interested. It is a great experience! #ngsschat

Q6.Sustaining change requires “sustenance.” How will you continuously refuel your NGSS energy? #NGSSchat

mturnageisp Sep 15 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A big part of my job is providing PD for elementary Ts. I think it helps improve comfort levels with content #ngsschat

GregPraterBHS Sep 15 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A5. put enough dtermined heads together and anything is possbile. Big moves in KY in the past 6 months. #ngsschat

lesliefarooq Sep 15 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@auntjennoelle Great idea! Thanks, Jennifer! #ngsschat

auntjennoelle Sep 15 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@FredEnde It is definitely a paradigm shift. Some Ts are very textbook/script driven-maybe not wanting to be creative or be wrong #ngsschat

aryah_fradkin Sep 15 @ 9:54 PM EDT

if you approach team and/or admins with a plan, you usually get what you want..no plan, you get told what to teach #NGSSchat

quincygirls1 Sep 15 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A5 Baby steps. Add parts that T's see as useful (ex models). Ask them to try once and reflect together. #ngsschat https://t.co/gDprnFkUe8

MsBolandSci Sep 15 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A5: don't try to tackle all 3 D's at once. Make sense of the practice (task), weave in the DCI, model and discuss the CCC everyday #ngsschat

richbacolor Sep 15 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A5) @TdiShelton once told me to start each lesson plan by asking “What will my Ss figure out today?” So simple but so smart. #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@auntjennoelle Or not knowing how to be creative. That takes work. #NGSSchat

rachelgeneve Sep 15 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A4: There is a growing vibe that Ts have to build it themselves & many schools just. can't. do. that so they're left rudderless...#ngsschat

GregPraterBHS Sep 15 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6. once science is FINALLY taught at every grade level enthusiatic students will my fuel. #ngsschat

@BKd204Sci @ehoffman So important to share successes! #NGSSchat

auntjennoelle Sep 15 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@FredEnde Also trying to get Ts to write a 5E Lesson-maybe that will help move away from a script. #ngsschat

BMSscienceteach Sep 15 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6) Also by talking with scientists to see that we are doing will help our students better understand the nature of science. #ngsschat

ehoffman Sep 15 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A6. Leaders need quality PD, too! I'm applying to be an EQuIP reviewer (yikes!) and attending conferences. #NGSSchat

lesliefarooq Sep 15 @ 9:56 PM EDT
