  1. Consequences of High Stakes Testing

    Consequences of High Stakes Testing

    I was recently reading the May-June, 2026 issue of "Science Scope" a publication from the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the Leadership Matters column written by Amy Bekins. It was entitled "The Unintentional Consequences of High Stakes Testing on Middle School Science." Some ways that leaders can build science efficacy and increase achievement for all contents is to: 1. Incorporate more nonfiction texts. 2. Conduct experiments where students can practice mathematics skills, such as graphing, with real data. 3. Leverage each teachers' content expertise through cross content teams and projects. 4. Encourage science to be an integral part of the curriculum.

    A Place for Earth and Space Science

    I was recently reading the May-June, 2026 issue of "Science Scope" a publication from the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read a guest editorial, written by Christine Hirst Bernhardt. It was entitled "Making a Place for Earth and Space." Christine is the President-Elect of the National Earth Science Teachers Association. She is a former Earth and space science teacher, her research and practice focus on supporting teachers in fostering authentic science learning and students' epistemic agency.

    Journey to Curiosity

    I was recently reading the May 20, 2026, blog from the National Science Teaching Association. The blog was entitled, "Teaching Students to Think in Science: Where Curiosity Meets Cognitive Strategy" written by Kristen Barnes. Science instruction leans heavily on synchronous learning, individual work, note-taking and getting the 'right answer." However, the true goal of science education isn't completion. Science education should focus on cultivating the lifelong journey of curiosity.

    Why Experts Disagree

    I was recently reading the March - April 2026, issue of The Science Teacher, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue I read an article written by Douglas Allchin. He wrote an article entitled "When Experts Disagree." Respect the consensus of the relevant scientific experts. That's the benchmark for reliable science in informing public policy or personal decision-making. But what if the experts disagree? What if there is no genuine consensus? If we cannot confidently sort fact from fiction, what are we to do?

    Why Learn Outdoors?

    I was recently reading the March - April 2026, issue of Science and Children, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue I read an article written by Mary Starr, Jordan Sherry-Wagner, Carrie Tzou, Megan Bang, Shirin Vossoughi, and Anna Lees. They wrote an article entitled "Place Matters." Outdoor learning is not simply a change in instructional setting, but a shift in relationships among children, educators, families, and the socio-ecological systems they inhabit.  Outdoor learning, when historicized and relationally grounded, becomes a practice of responsibility, connection, and future-making.

    Stop Cheating in an AI World

    I was recently reading the March - April 2026, issue of Science Scope, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue I read an article written by Patty McGinnis. She wrote an article entitled "AI in the Classroom." The rate of cheating in science classrooms has not changed after the availability of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools. The sudden alarm to do something about a problem that we have been complacent about for decades highlights some fundamental misconceptions about both why cheating happens and the role that technology plays (or doesn't) in enabling it.

    Stop Competing for Attention

    I was recently reading the April 22, 2026, NSTA Blog, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this blog I read an article written by Tara Graham. She wrote an article entitled "Stop Competing for Attention. Start Using It." Ask any middle school science teacher what their biggest classroom challenge is right now, and there's a good chance that attention ranks near the top of the list. This isn't a new problem, but it is an accelerating one.

    Mercury Hazards

    I was recently reading the April 10, 2026, NSTA Blog, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this blog I read an article written by Ken Roy. He wrote an article entitled "Mercury Spills in the Science Instructional Space: Hazards, Risks, and Safety Actions." Use of mercury in high school and middle school science classrooms and laboratory instructional spaces has well-known safety and health hazards and risks. Bottomline is don't take any chances with safety and health-even to learn important science.
