👀NEW RESOURCE SNEAK PEEK!

Next week, we’ll be releasing our latest new resource for science educators and materials developers: #KeepTeachingScience: Successful Strategies to Adapt K-12 Science Experiences for Distance Learning 1/7

For this project, we analyzed science lessons to identify distance learning adaptations that reflect (and sometimes enhance) #NGSS instructional practices. 2/7

The adaptation of existing high-quality science materials for a distance environment CAN enhance the vision of three-dimensional standards.

We share eight common strategies to support educators and developers with adapting materials for learning at a distance. Here’s #1. 3/7

For each strategy, we compare the original in-person version of a lesson next to its distance adaptation, describing how the adaptation maintains or enhances its NGSS design. 4/7

And because we know access to high-quality materials is *not enough* to ensure success in science teaching and learning in this new environment, we also share additional considerations we learned from developers, researchers, educators, and professional learning providers. 5/7

Thanks to @OpenSciEd, @LA_Believes, @Amplify, @InquiryHub, and @wustlisp for sharing your materials and adaptations.

And special thanks to @RPDPSci, @TrayStay83, @HunterARHPhy, @Phenomen__AL, @cdepatie1, and Iram Shaikh for your expertise and helping with the analysis. 6/7

Stay tuned! We’ll be releasing this resource in next week’s NGSS Now newsletter, with our NextGenScience listserv, and here on Twitter. 7/7
