Exciting day in Project Discovery sharing the book gifted to our Barrett students from NASA Astronaut Leland Melvin and then PreK astronauts floating by #KWBPride #OneTeamOneAPS #NASAedu #EduSky

Amazing collaboration today with Florida district science leaders exploring how phenomena-based modeling can make student thinking visible. Excited to see how these strategies will ripple across schools and classrooms!

Teachers in Florida showed up ready to grow!
The Making Student Thinking Visible workshop provided them with practical tools to model, engage, and spark student sense-making in science classrooms.
Their dedication to students is inspiring. Every day, they’re making science learning more meaningful!🔬

Flipping the ‘I Do, We Do, You Do’ Model in Science Class Instead of starting with a teacher’s explanation, many science lessons could begin with students exploring a phenomenon.

Excited to share my article published in Edutopia today!

There’s nothing like being in a room full of educators who believe in the power of student thinking. During our #ChangeTheStory workshop, we explored what it truly means to shift instruction toward sensemaking through modeling, data analysis, and meaningful conversation.

Just wrapped an incredible week at EDGE 2025 in Spotsylvania! 🥽 I got to work with some of the most visionary educators and leaders committed to sparking curiosity and showing that #EveryoneIsASciencePerson.
The work continues. Let’s keep going. 🧪

Today’s science class spotlight: students used models and diagrams to explain how tectonic plates move, how the Earth’s layers interact, and how earthquakes form.
Science isn’t about memorizing facts—it’s about thinking deeply and making it visible.

Too many popular strategies for teaching reading aren’t actually supported by research. We sifted through to find the ones that are most effective! 🔍

Who says that PLCs can't be fun? We had a blast planning phenomena they could use with their Laws of Motion lesson. This is much better than a worksheet!

Brad Rhew and I had a blast leading “Building a Science Community using #ChangeTheStory Strategies” - Science for All Summit. We explored student-centered strategies that create classrooms where curiosity thrives, collaboration is the norm, and every student has a voice. Thanks to all who joined us!

Henrico science teachers exploring strategies to elicite student thinking using modeling, interpreting and analyzing data, and using evidence to support arguments because they believe #EveryoneIsASciencePerson! 🧪
They are #ChangeTheStory Ambassadors now!

❄️ Albemarle County Public Schools' secondary science teachers are excellent! They made my day exploring ways to investigate student thinking in our virtual professional learning session! They are #ChangeTheStory Ambassadors! They know #EveryoneIsASciencePerson!

Even with a wintery mix on its way, these Augusta science teachers explored strategies to engage students in science reasoning and discourse! I leave with a smile every time we spend the day together, knowing they will be implementing them! #EveryoneIsASciencePerson
