The summer McDonnell Foundation workshops have been incredibly productive for our team. We have lots of ideas for how to make sure we are working to thoughtfully translate our findings to highlight what is meaningful for teachers and administrators.

Just heard from a teacher that they didn’t think of themselves as a science teacher before our project. Now they do, and their students do too!! Also representations are now core to their thinking. Feeling good as a team today!!

The full @OpenSciEd specs can be found on openscied.org/ & through the tweet below. I am only detailing the equity-focused design specs for instructional materials in this thread — many intersect with the other dimensions, some stand alone.

Grade level teams of teachers identified “big ideas” in PD today. Plus we got to eat the juice pops we made during Tuesday’s model unit. Planning with reps is next! - CN

We are doing some practice teaching sessions today to explore how representations can support teaching and learning. We are potentially having too much fun making noises with rubber bands to understand sound! —JD
