Check out the comments below and feel free to add any ideas and helpful management tips! iTunes U Courses for Educators: Designed with educators in mind, these free courses are perfect for improving your own content knowledge, or simply showcasing amazing resources to your class. Each course is chock-full of media assets, worksheets, and guiding questions. Biodiversity Course: Take a virtual expedition with us to investigate the amazing diversity of life on this planet. Learn what biodiversity is, why it's important, where it's found, how it comes into existence, how you study it, why it's threatened, and how it can be protected. Science Video Vault: Browse our collection of educational videos to help your students visualize data and understand scientific and environmental concepts. These materials will support your teaching of the new Next Generation Science Standards. Youth Programs: The Academy provides a variety of out-of-school-time programs for middle and high school-aged youth. We are committed to providing the inspiration and training for young people to become science enthusiasts and stewards of the natural world.
Thanks to Sarah Ferner form Romberg Tiburon Center for all the great resources!

"Arbordale (formerly Sylvan Dell) picture books are designed from the ground up to integrate science, math, geography, and language learning into fun-to-read stories. Our books are beautifully illustrated with fiction or non-fiction stories designed to excite and engage children. Each book includes a For Creative Minds educational section with fun facts and activities. We want to help elementary educators and parents promote reading, and make it possible to use a single book to teach language arts, science, math and a foreign language!"- from Arbordale website
At our coaches meeting, we shared that many outside resources are written using a 5 E lesson plan format. Nancy Tsung shared a template that might be helpful as you are developing your plans for your lessons. The Digital Chalkboard is where California educators get connected, collaborate, and share the best practices, best resources, best strategies — you might say the best of the best. Not a lot on NGSS... yet... but a lot of good resources on best practices. |
