While I am here, let me tell you about some of my amazing Twitter mentors. @wandabryant has given me book recommendations, teaching ideas, and great advice - like don’t try to teach too many storylines at the same time! @KRenaeP is someone I turn to regularly for her wisdom.
@drloriandersen has helped me to understand the science when I am confused. I also love learning about how she incorporates cross-cutting concepts into her lessons. She is great to hash out ideas with.
When I was new to NGSS, @sbottasullivan reached out to me and not only took her time to Zoom with me for over an hour, she mailed me some supplies! When I have been insecure, Suzanne has encouraged me to be bold and trust myself. She also leads the AST chat!
I could not have gotten through my energy unit without the help of @dtcampbe and @mbraaten. Why is energy so hard for me to wrap my brain around??
@SciJeanne has been my mentor - both though her video and messaging, for the Sun to Food Unit - which I think she wrote! (Co-wrote?) @gretchenmilary has the BEST blog and I used it daily to help me teach the Roadkill unit. @SoDakCurious has helped me with norms and discussions.
@STEMgal1 introduced me to Science Curriculum Topic Study and worked on the energy storyline with me. 🤗 @KRScienceLady has wonderful advice and ideas. @digitaltidepool has helped me with energy ideas, and introduced me to Argument Driven Inquiry!
@Xeno_lith has given me ideas for how to incorporate my love for rocks and minerals into my third grade storyline this year. @thinksci has helped me multiple times and she has written some great storylines over at Ambitious Science Teaching!
These are just some of my colleagues and my PLN. I have never met one of them in person. I could not teach NGSS without them. I am thankful for them today. ❤️
