Experiences in science lead to language development
Mastery is multifaceted
Equitable access encourages participation in science
"Be patient, don't think you can walk in and do all NGSS... Pick one element or a few and do them well. We don't have high-stakes testing staring us down. So let's focus on teaching and teachers..... Right now, worry about good science."
