If you are anything like I was in the classroom, this time of year is when I often felt the most drained, with little energy. The excitement of break seems so far away; it’s dark, and the days seem never-ending. And while I can’t change any of those things for you, I can give you some encouragement to make it through. Similar to last week’s episode, where I shared five systems for the home, in today’s episode, I’m sharing five truths for the classroom.
Y’all know how much I thrive off a routine or system, which is exactly what I was going to share today. However, knowing the level of energy you possibly have, I decided on disclosing truths for the classroom instead. In seasons where you are the most drained, you actually need support the most. In the five truths I share, each gives you permission to be yourself, allows you grace, and focuses on what’s important, such as the connection you have with your students.
Sometimes, hearing the truth can be difficult. It’s usually the things we don’t want to hear that we need to hear. In this case, these truths give you an opportunity to breathe until you regain your energy. So, if you’re struggling and need support during this season of your life, make sure you take to heart the five truths for the classroom.

Ever feel like your students are just going through the motions - memorizing facts without really connecting to what they're learning? I think we can all agree that we want our students to be able to apply their learning to real world context! That’s why I’m diving into two of my absolute favorite NGSS concepts in this episode: phenomena and storylines. I’ll explain the different types of phenomena, how they tie into storylines, and why giving students a role in the process transforms engagement. Plus, I’m sharing practical tips to start small and make these strategies work with what you’re already doing. ➡️ Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode179 Resources: Antibiotic Resistance Lab INRS Complete Units Ecosystem in a Bottle Project Using Phenomena to Teach the NGSS Download your FREE Classroom Reset Challenge.

175. How and WHY I Teach Students to Take Notes 21:50

21:50

Whether we like it or not, teaching students to take notes is an important part of being a high school teacher! Is that an unpopular opinion? Maybe, but I still stand by it! Beyond just understanding the content, strong note-taking skills set students up for success in life, no matter where their future takes them. When it comes to teaching these skills, there are plenty of options: typing, doodle-based notes, interactive notebooks…the list goes on! I’ve tried them all, and hands down, Cornell notes are my favorite. In this episode, I’m sharing exactly why I love the Cornell note taking method and how you can use it in your secondary science classroom. ➡️ Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode175 Resources Mentioned: Episode 123, What to Do When You Care More Than Your Students Do Episode 6, Engaging Students in Lecture How to Use Cornell Notes in High School Science The Cornell Note Taking System Otter.ai https://otter.ai/ Download your FREE Classroom Reset Challenge.

Is AI the future of learning or just another way for students to cut corners? In this episode, we’re talking all about how to help students use AI in a way that actually benefits their learning - without letting it do all the thinking for them. Instead of banning AI or ignoring it, we need to teach students how to use it as a tool for things like communication, skill practice, and test review. When used the right way, AI can be so helpful, but only if students know how to use it responsibly! ➡️ Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode174 Resources Mentioned: Episode 173, 9 Quick Ways to Use AI to Simplify Your Life as a Teacher Episode 157, Serving ELLs with AI and More with Guest Alyse of Keystone Science Episode 154, AI and ChatGPT with Guest Mitch Wieland Episode 94, How to Deal with Cheating in Your High School Science Classes AI for Education Magic School Diffit Otter.ai Google Translate Download your FREE Classroom Reset Challenge.

This challenge has the power to transform how the rest of your school year goes. Are you ready for it? It’s naming what matters most. This concept, introduced by Kendra Adachi, has become a cornerstone of how I approach both my personal and professional life. I’ve touched on this idea before on the podcast, but it’s so powerful that I keep coming back to it.
