Calling all science educators! Looking to mix up your science lessons? Check out our guide for *meaningfully* using representations in your science lessons! learnabilityhq.com/post/how-to-us… >> big thanks to the @RepTaLProject team (funded by @JSMF) whose research informed this article
New article, co-authored with collaborating teachers where we explore the use of multiple-representations! Observing the Unobservable nsta.org/science-and-ch…
The summer McDonnell Foundation workshops have been incredibly productive for our team. We have lots of ideas for how to make sure we are working to thoughtfully translate our findings to highlight what is meaningful for teachers and administrators.

Just heard from a teacher that they didn’t think of themselves as a science teacher before our project. Now they do, and their students do too!! Also representations are now core to their thinking. Feeling good as a team today!!
Project teachers present about using representations in their science teaching 🤩
RepTaL teachers share how they support students when teaching with reps using the project framework with @Science_Pants_
First video club meeting tonight was so engaging that pictures were an afterthought! Great night talking about representations and science teaching with the group. #VURepTaLs
@SciEdHenry @OpenSciEd @tzouct @meganbang3 @AlbertoJRodrig8 @GinaTeso @MikeHeinz3 @LeeoL16 @educatordeb The full @OpenSciEd specs can be found on openscied.org & through the tweet below. I am only detailing the equity-focused design specs for instructional materials in this thread — many intersect with the other dimensions, some stand alone.

Grade level teams of teachers identified “big ideas” in PD today. Plus we got to eat the juice pops we made during Tuesday’s model unit. Planning with reps is next! - CN
Hello from VU RepTaLs Cohort 1 teachers and researchers! #representations #scienceteachers
Fantastic summary chart showing all the great things we did today in PD and all the ways they supported learning about states of matter through representation!
“How and why does the ice cream change?” - Focus question for model unit on states of matter using multiple representations. 🍦😀
