Last week, I co-facilitated an OpenSciEd PL workshop w/ LA Ts as a part of a study to investigate the efficacy of OpenSciEd.

I am always impressed by the professionalism Ts bring to their craft. Investing in Ts & their Ss is important, & the opportunity to learn from and with Ts is a privilege.

The @5dassessment.bsky.social team at BSCS collaborated w/ sci T leaders in Saint Paul Public Schools to customize HQIM to better engage Ss’ interests & sci-linked identities. Ts used info from Ss & standards to identify alt phenomena to anchor revised assessments that they will pilot this fall.

I was wondering why my work travel was so expensive, and airlines charging more for 1 passenger vs 2 explains it. See sample fares on @americanair.bsky.social for PHL-MSP, a route I usually fly: $847 for 1 and $390 for 2. Ridiculous.

Great to see Wissahickon School District science Ts attending #NSTASpring25 in Philadelphia. Access to high quality PL is important for helping teachers align their classroom practices with the new PA science standards. Looking forward to hearing how the district implements #PASTEELS K-12!

Come hang out with me at #NSTASpring25 on Friday morning to learn about heuristics and tools for identifying phenomena to frame meaningful instruction and assessment opportunities. I know it's early, but it'll be fun! #NGSSchat #SciEd

Thank you @danielalcazar.bsky.social, @sjloper.bsky.social, & team for organizing the #NSFFunded #LocalizeHQIM conference. It was a great opportunity to learn how practitioners, researchers, & leaders from all levels are trying to support meaningful sci learning for Ss. #NGSSchat #EduSky #SciEd

Looking for a “green-lit” #NGSS aligned HS biology program? Consider the @bscs.bsky.social Biology program. Thankful for the opportunity to learn about this amazing program from @cindygay.bsky.social & @jcproby.bsky.social. Learn more: bscs.org/educator_res... #EduSky #SciEd

We've updated the 5D Assessment website w/ our latest journal article about how educators consider what they know about their students' interests when choosing phenomena for assessment. This research informed the design of our tools & processes. Learn more: www.5dassessment.org. #EduSky #NGSS #SciEd

It was a busy week in New Orleans networking with educators committed to supporting meaningful science learning opportunities for students. I've posted the resources that we shared on our project website, 5Dassessment.org. Please share & reach out with any questions!

I co-lead two NSF-funded projects that examines how attending to student interest and identity with the #NGSS 3Ds can support meaningful science learning for students. You can find out more about this work at 5Dassessment.org.
