Middle School Science Minute

Brandy Hill
I was recently reading the March, 2019 issue of “Science Scope,” a magazine written for middle school science teachers, published by the National Science Teachers Association.
In this issue, I read the “Member Spotlight” section where NSTA highlights a middle school science teacher, from across the United States. This month, Brandy Hill is featured. She is a Sixth Grade Science teacher in Oregon. Her advice for a new science teacher is:
“Get looped in, ask questions, and ask for support.”

Imagine what the world would be if all the educators (state teachers of the year) sitting in the seats of the education committee today actually got to make education policy.

“Always compliment a kid when they take a responsible risk & don’t get the best result, like answering a Q wrong. Volunteering to go 1st for a class presentation is also a responsible risk. Seize opportunities to build optimism, confidence & risk-taking.”

The Teaching of Listening Comprehension
Rinvolucri begins with reflections and practical ideas related to getting listeners to give full attention. Several contributions look at the nature of listening materials, and a key theme is authenticity (in the chapters by Besse, Nakić, Dirven, Rixon, and Fish, for example). Other chapters (for example, those by Dudley-Evans and Johns, and Vandermaelen) focus on teaching methodology. Finally, Urbain focuses on needs to teach pronunciation in the context of development of listening comprehension, while Riley concludes with a chapter on using video.
This book is free to download below as a pdf file.
