This success is not limited to quantitative measurements of success, but instead envelops the well being of each aspect of the student; everything from social justice and emotional health to academic proficiency and inherent curiosity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Exemplary Science Teaching means choosing the best for your students \u2014 even if it means losing at Uno\u2026<br><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EDT431?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EDT431<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ScienceTeaching?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ScienceTeaching<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/coeUcIDMeP\">pic.twitter.com\/coeUcIDMeP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Michael Mischler (@MrMischler) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrMischler\/status\/1441118750392999939?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 23, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-background wp-block-heading\" style=\"background-color:#6aa37a\">What are some characteristics of Exemplary Science Teachers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><li>Provide a Stimulating Environment<\/li><li>Continually Analyze, Evaluate, and Strengthen Their Practice Through Evaluation<\/li><li>Frequently Use Societal Issues as a Focus<\/li><li>Expect Students to Quesiton Facts, Teachers, Authority, and Knowledge<\/li><li>Follow an Integrated Approach to Topics by Incorporating Other Subjects, Technology, Society&nbsp;and Ethics.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/edt431-531\/files\/2021\/09\/est2-1024x462.jpeg?resize=1024%2C462&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2021\/09\/est2.jpeg?resize=1024%2C462&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2021\/09\/est2.jpeg?resize=300%2C135&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2021\/09\/est2.jpeg?resize=768%2C347&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2021\/09\/est2.jpeg?resize=1536%2C693&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2021\/09\/est2.jpeg?resize=2048%2C924&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-gray-background-color has-background\">Exemplary Science Teachers at their core aim to better themselves as well as their students. A fierce commitment to societal issues and ethics is essential for students to see that you are on their side.

Ask yourself: &#8220;Does this foster <em>valuable<\/em> growth?&#8221; There are times when even the most &#8220;fun&#8221; or &#8220;exciting&#8221; classroom science experiments will not foster curiosity within students. Instead, science educators must strive to encourage iquiry. Danny Doucette has a great take on how to get students thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Teaching science: we&#039;re doing it wrong | Danny Doucette | TEDxRiga\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5duz42kHqPs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-gray-background-color has-background\">Critical thinking is invaluable in life.
