I have three questions that I don't think I could teach without: *What do you notice? *What are you wondering? *What's your evidence?
They're so simple, but they really help me understand what my Ss are thinking. What are the questions you find yourself using all of the time?

Question for standards based grading teachers: if a 1 is "no evidence" and kid turned in a blank test, dies kid get a 1 for no evidence? #sbg this is our first year doing this. Also note, our grading system is traditional 100 point A-E scale, we're just forcing sbg into it

Lies My Teacher Told Me is the main reason I became a teacher. @JamesWLoewen contributed so much to understanding our own country James Loewen, Author Of 'Lies My Teacher Told Me,' Dies At 79 : NPR npr.org/2021/08/23/103044228…

Today, Derek Chauvin was found guilty. But our legal system is still far from just, and students may still feel a lack of closure. We hope you’ll reaffirm the value of Black lives and create space for students to process. These resources can help.

This. We say we want to raise critical thinkers, but when they start to question us/things we criminalize and punish them. We only love thoughtful children in the abstract, just like we theoretically believe in justice.

So much love for all involved... so lucky to learn from such a knowledgeable, compassionate, and thoughtful group of teachers, writers, and leaders who were involved with the development, piloting, and revision of these engaging 5D storylines! #MeaningfulChemistry @NGSS_tweeps

I had so much fun debating @mskmayer about energy @MSTAMich & sharing how we're resolving the debate with our @kentwoodps BioPhysics Class. We're lucky to collaborate with @lauranovaksloma @heybihler Cassie Oostindie on this course! #MSTA2021 #WeRise youtu.be/eI-ndJmmaz4

Pay less attention to rote procedures & more to knowledge generation. Teachers' ability to take students' ideas and use them to inform instruction is essential. stemteachingtools.org/brief/…
