STEMTeachingTools.org Free Teacher Learning Resources to Support NGSS Implementation What Are They? The National Research Council's A Framework for X-12 Science Education and the resulting Next Generation Science Standards (NCSS) represent a new vision to help all students understand the natural and built world. As educators realize this new vision, many problems of practice come up. STEM Teaching Tools are co-authored by teachers and researchers to illuminate these issues and give advice about how to accomplish specific pieces of the NGSS. The resources are short. direct. easily shareable, and offer links to other useful tools. WHY THEY MATTER TO YOU Teachers need tools to reflect on how their teaching aligns with the NGSS & NRC Framework vision These teacher learning resources have been designed to be easily shared with others. District staff & PD providers can use these tools in professional development to support implementation of the new vision. Schoolleaders can use the tools to understand crucial aspects of the new vision for K-12 science education and then implement plans to support teachers' professional growth. FUNDED BY THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION THROUGH THE ACESSE PROJECT (COSSS. ORG/ACESSE) Picture of a round conference table with about 20 different piles of STEM Teaching Tools on them.

Thought I would share some of the resources created for supporting #climatechangeed by the @stemteachingtool.bsky.social

So here is a great resource for sharing with educational leaders, colleagues, and parents

Our @waclimetime.bsky.social network is in its 7th year supporting WA teachers in learning to #TeachClimate

@drdeblmorrison.bsky.social & Dr. Kelsie Fowler worked with our network to publish 7 articles describing the work with tens of thousands of educators.

PLS RP #SciEd #NGSS #TeachClimate

Do you teach MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS who have experienced #ClimateChange? We just published a new @stemteachingtool.bsky.social on how to leverage student & community expertise in #ClimateJustice instruction with a focus on language!
