"The kids are driving, I'm in the back seat supporting!" They have the passion, we have the life experiences. We encourage them and support them to keep this movement going. @MrsRussellsRoom #dothework @EducatorsRoom

NGSS has a chapter on making them accessible for all learners. Resources are out there. Dig!
