"This year, our K-6 staff began learning in a new virtual way using Twitter. After a couple staff in-service trainings and after school workshops, parents and teachers ventured into this new educational Twitterverse. As we enter the final week of school, I'd like to share it's initial impact on teaching and learning from my principal's lens."

"A learning cycle approach is an effective strategy for bringing explorations of the natural world and scientific questioning into the classroom. A summary of research supports the conclusion that a learning cycle approach can result in greater achievement in science and improved attitudes toward science and science learning." This page describes each stage.
