[Chris Wilson @cwilsonPPBHS]

Congratulations @BTECS_ on securing a Project Lead the Way Grant for @PointBeachHS!

[Chris Wilson @cwilsonPPBHS]

@PointBeachHS has earned the AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award for AP Computer Science A during the 2021-2022 school year. Great job @BTECS_! @NaGrosshandler @ptbeachsuper @ptbeachguidance

@CivilAirPatrol is an amazing organization dedicated to providing aviation/aerospace education to youth. Such a beautiful view from above - flying is super fun, but not as easy as it may look! @PointBeachHS @NaGrosshandler @ptbeachsuper #WeRBeach

A huge THANK YOU to my @CivilAirPatrol pilot, Carl! I was given the opportunity to take a Teacher Orientation Program (TOP) flight, and the experience was awesome! Can you find an important landmark in the aerial photo? @PointBeachHS @NaGrosshandler @ptbeachsuper #WeRBeach

More rockets! 🤘 #WeRBeach #ExploreEngineering #RocketsRule @PointBeachHS

[Dr. Saffioti @BTECS_]

#PPBHS Engineering & Design students launching rockets! Students explored designs with paper stomp rockets then upgraded to bottle rockets that use the piezoelectric effect and alcohol-air mixture for combustion/propulsion! #WeRBeach #ExploreEngineering @PointBeachHS

Another sweet Arduino solar panel sun tracker!! #PPBHS #WeRBeach #Arduino #ExploreEngineering #EngineeringIsCool

[Dr. Saffioti @BTECS_]

Arduino solar panel sun tracker -> so cool!! I wish I caught a better angle of the linkage system that was designed by a #PPBHS student to make this awesome thing rotate! #WeRBeach #EngineeringIsCool #Arduino #ExploreEngineering

@RutgersAltRoute @Erik_Youngman @LaVonnaRoth @saratruebridge @vhill01 @woodfromawoods Thank you! 🤗

[Dr. Saffioti @BTECS_]

@RutgersAltRoute Thank you! 🤗

[Dr. Saffioti @BTECS_]

@MarnieSeaIsle @RutgersAltRoute Agreed!

[Marnie Johnson @MarnieSeaIsle]

@RutgersAltRoute A5- More project-based learning with options at the core. Other practices include do-overs, pair work, and extended time. #AltRtEd #GrowthMindset

[Natasha DeWees Clerihue @NClerihue]

@RutgersAltRoute A5 Even when grading by a rubric, I consider where each student started to judge how far he has come, because every student is on his own journey. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Dr. Saffioti @BTECS_]

@NClerihue @RutgersAltRoute Love it!

[Dr. Saffioti @BTECS_]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: I really love providing verbal feedback to my students - this allows me to offer constructive criticism WITH body language and a smile. I feel students receive this much better than a letter/number grade or even written response. #AltRtEd #growthmindset

[Dr. Saffioti @BTECS_]

@DaimalyG @RutgersAltRoute I’m learning to get better at meaningful rubrics!

[Dr. Saffioti @BTECS_]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: I teach Engineering & Computer Science so there is always opportunities for errors in hands-on/program design - I emphasize that these failures are one step closer to success! #AltRtEd #growthmindset #STEMeducation

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: I will introduce student goal-setting so that the students are always challenging themselves especially since I have some students that are misplaced. I want them to start challenging themselves more so that they can see their potential. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Dr. Saffioti @BTECS_]

@Physics981ms2 @RutgersAltRoute I would like to get better at student goal setting as well!
