\"Science<\/a>The traditional winter recess gives us time to rest and reflect. If you\u2019re like me, it also grants time to read some pieces or click through some sites I had previously bookmarked. Here\u2019s a few to help keep you occupied:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First, some news at of Kansas, as that Lawsuit over NGSS has been dismissed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For a topic of specific concern here in Vermont, consider The Challenge of Teaching Science in Rural America<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bring one of the top movies of 2014 (even NDT<\/a> liked it) with Interstellar in the Classroom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Or perhaps Hip-hop and science education<\/a> is more your speed.<\/p>\n

These are both examples in the trend of Putting Art in STEM<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s a good post on\u00a0How Student Engagement Facilitates STEM Interest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a research article that brings out the importance of middle grades science teachers, you will want to file away Effective Science Instruction: Impact on High-Stakes Assessment Performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For a critical perspective, ponder: Is the U.S. Focusing Too Much on STEM?<\/a><\/p>\n

And from the business perspective: Why the S in STEM Is Overrated<\/a> (This one gets me – they ignore the methods of rational investigation that are built up through science education, and ignore that there is no \u201cT\u201d or \u201cE\u201d without the preliminary and supporting science\u2026)<\/p>\n

Finally, some awesome local news: Local High Schooler’s Robot Wins “Rookie of the Year”<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope everyone has\u00a0a relaxing and reflective break. See you all in the new year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
