Great question! Let’s talk data. [thread] 1/10

Since it's been 10 years since NGSS was released, a colleague of mine asked me: "Do we have evidence-based data showing that science students who were taught using NGSS practices are better prepared for the next steps (specifically college)?". Does this follow-up data exist yet?

We’ve had a team of 4 journalists working the last six months trying to understand how and why extremist groups are targeting veterans for recruitment. Here’s part 1. military.com/daily-news/202… (a thread 1/)

It's #FrameworkFriday! See how this quote from A Framework for K-12 Science Education inspired @vawolb in her recent blog post: ngs.wested.org/kindergarten

I wasn’t ready for the transformation I was about to witness when I stepped into my kindergarten classroom. It's easy to expect too much or too little. What science is appropriate for these curious little tikes? 🔍 Check out my @NextGenScience blog post: ngs.wested.org/kindergarten/

Based on *hundreds* of reviews of science curriculum, @NextGenScience and @EdReports teamed up to create a resource about the most important (and the most challenging 👀) areas for curriculum developers. Register for the 7/21 webinar about it here: bit.ly/CriticalFeatur…
