Top scientist calls for change to get students interested in science and maths - ABC Ne... - 3 views

  •  
    "No matter how you are reading this story, you can thank science. Whether it is the transmission of data over the internet or just the pixels on the screen, a combination of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is delivering it. The problem is that in Australia, the number of students taking science and mathematics subjects is dwindling - and has been for decades."

      Create a sign of these questions in class
  • Do most students think about the effect of these issues on their everyday lives? Do our students consider the roles they might play in changing how a science-connected problem is resolved over the coming decades?
  • Proficient science readers will read the text that correlates to a table of data, for example, and then study the table, looking for features like units of measure, data range values, and column titles. They will then look back at the text to reread, or continue reading, in an effort to connect this information to the text.

Aligning Philosophy and Practice - nashworld - 3 views

  •  
    One of my foundational rules of classroom engagement is simply this: never be the first one to open your mouth and start talking about any topic. Twenty years in the classroom taught me that one. Never assume. Never take prior knowledge for granted. Listen first, then act. Never presume to know what the students in front of you are capable of. They'll show you if you are bold enough to listen.
