In our region, it was helpful for leaders to "do." If we want to model how #NGSS is different, must engage with more than words. #NGSSchat

richbacolor Jun 16 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@FredEnde @ksteves61811 Danielson was familiar territory for them so tying it 2 NGSS made them more at ease with needed shifts. #NGSSchat

MrMusselman Jun 16 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1: Engage them like you would a student, with a phenomena that gets them wondering... then frame phenomena in the 3 dimensions. #ngsschat

i think most important admin sees is students interacting, questioning, and collaborating. #NGSSchat

@richbacolor @ksteves61811 Learning is about connections. So is leading. Build new from what you already have. #NGSSchat

@kmgill135 They will be amazed at how the Ss work shows more depth of understanding #ngsschat

mrshigginsri Jun 16 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Admin need to see value but have little time to learn. Point out problem-solving and 21st century learning so you get their attn #NGSSchat

KRScienceLady Jun 16 @ 9:20 PM EDT

We need to have VSTA. Do that because we ( the state ) can't seem to get in #NGSSchat https://t.co/krZJuKlKqB

I presented at the RI Assoc of Sch Principals. Used #Nsta graphics (how to read, Venn, etc) & gave model lesson #NGSSchat

Q1: How can you introduce administrators to the #NGSS ? #NGSSchat

Mr_ArndtEOS Jun 16 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: Deductive->inductive reasoning; hands-on; inherently differentiated; changing role of teacher->facilitator #NGSSchat

MrMusselman Jun 16 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: PRACTICING SCIENCE!!! Want admins to be looking for practices and content (DCIs) when performing walkthroughs. #ngsschat

MrsPotterNelson Jun 16 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: Phenomenon! This couldn't be stated enough. We do a lot of labs already, but the shift in how those labs is done. #NGSSchat

A2: How the classroom functions is at the crux of our science education. The "less this / more that" table sums it up well. #ngsschat

tjscience Jun 16 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2: The importance of KIDS engaging in SEPs for one. My admin likes to see an obj on the board - but sometimes that "ruins" it! #ngsschat

@Ted_NSTA Wow, well hopefully those Ts are getting support and encouragement to keep moving in the right direction. #ngsschat

amykfmurphy Jun 16 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A5 Focus should be on what Ss are doing and how Ts are facilitating #NGSSchat https://t.co/v5uHEEVbmb

FredEnde - Moderator Jun 16 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Q5: How will walk-throughs & Ts evaluations change for #NGSS classrooms? What needs to be communicated to admin? #NGSSchat

BKd204Sci Jun 16 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@BMSscienceteach walk-through's need to be "Sit-ins" so As can get student perspective of learnign #ngsschat

MrMusselman Jun 16 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@MeganAWhitney Original message focused on mis-use of terms like "inquiry" and "hands-on" - not meant to be an affront to tchrs. #ngsschat

DrTCallahan Jun 16 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Messy and loud usually means student centered activities. After a #STEAM Day, it reinforced how important those attributes are. #NGSSchat

johannabrown Jun 16 @ 9:56 PM EDT

As implement/reach up and out, Ts implement/change across & within. Communicate, communicate, communicate. #NGSSchat https://t.co/8Hhy8B1pOA

Q6: How can a distributive leadership model (Ts & admins partners) work for schools in #NGSS implementation? #NGSSchat

MrsPotterNelson Jun 16 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@gablejen @quincygirls1 I've often wished that our obs were more than a day long. Too often I see the lab but not the discussion #NGSSchat

Dora_AMNH Jun 16 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A6 #ngsschat @TdiShelton I love this question. Build teacher leaders; this will help admins and schools with roll out!

biologygoddess Jun 16 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@tkSciGuy yes, in a back channel or blog might also be good, encourage collaboration #NGSSchat

perezhasclass Jun 16 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Missed #ngsschat, but catching up and retweeting like a fool! You all had a great convo tonight!

FredEnde - Moderator Jun 16 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@amykfmurphy Right. Because a walkthrough should be about helping everyone get better. #NGSSchat

Ted_NSTA Jun 16 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Agreed. My point is that we need to worry about the teachers who say they *don't* need help with NGSS #NGSSchat https://t.co/0ggCptY8Ci

@Ted_NSTA Wow, well hopefully those Ts are getting support and encouragement to keep moving in the right direction. #ngsschat

HollyMcGoran Jun 16 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A5: engage in convos w/Ss; understand the learning process isn't done when the bell rings; follow-up convos w/Ts & Ss important #NGSSchat

gablejen Jun 16 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@MrsPotterNelson @quincygirls1 or they see only the pre lab and initial inquiry. Does that matter? ss are the ones doing #NGSSchat

8TeachWriteArt8 Jun 16 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@MrMusselman @@KRScienceLady I do a STEMlementary PD K-5 Using Existing Curriculum to ➕NGSS. https://t.co/Z2pMtCORFq #NGSSchat

krademaker Jun 16 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A6 admin have to be willing to work with Ts, learn from them, and make decisions about implementation together #ngsschat

MsBolandSci Jun 16 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A6: teacher leaders are key! #NGSSchat

Ted_NSTA Jun 16 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A6: School Implementation requires a team of admins and teachers (early adopters) to scout things out. #NGSSchat https://t.co/9BIIsDPhZ9

Q6: How can a distributive leadership model (Ts & admins partners) work for schools in #NGSS implementation? #NGSSchat

johannabrown Jun 16 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Especially when admins don't have a sci background. #NGSSchat https://t.co/Hg5tpMFz02

A6: teacher leaders are key! #NGSSchat

amykfmurphy Jun 16 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@FredEnde yes! Admins need to be aware of shifts to know what to look for and give feedback to Ts to help them get there. #NGSSchat

MrsPotterNelson Jun 16 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@gablejen @quincygirls1 It would be neat to see the whole cycle, start to finish. #NGSSchat

BKd204Sci Jun 16 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A6 As can see how #NGSS style of teaching can go beyond sci classroom and change other curricular areas #ngsschat

8TeachWriteArt8 Jun 16 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@MrMusselman @KRScienceLady It's based on one of the best Professional Development Sessions @ #NSTA15 by KevinHart+BrianRaygor. #NGSSchat

gablejen Jun 16 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@MrsPotterNelson @quincygirls1 yes I agree. to see the process #NGSSchat

ElkinsSciKy Jun 16 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A6: Communication is always the first step #NGSSchat
