@cracklyn_ I'd say that if you feel good about your relationship and like they can speak to your skills it's totally fine! It's on them to say no they feel like they're a bad fit.

@IBchemmilam It's all so hard to line up what I learned about the ngss in grad school with the actual implementable resources I see for the classroom! I totally feel this! Out of curiosity, have you looked at the released open sci Ed units? I like what I see, but we'll see how fall goes!

@IBchemmilam @aserkin @ChemEdXpert @ChemEdX Side note, but overall how did you like this book?? Seems really great

[Alex @CoEvoCoParent]

The podcast @MorePerfect is back and I'm so excited!!

If you haven't checked it out, it's really excellent reporting about the supreme court and I can't recommend it highly enough!!!!

@burginam Is there an easy way to DM you on here to ask for a copy? I'm struggling with the twitter DM interface, which is making me feel as old as my students think I am 🤦‍♂️

Chuck Manson Wants You to Forget About Charles

The scraggly beard is gone. So is the swastika tattoo . As the convicted cult leader awaits prison, he has adopted a new persona: devoted father.

*gestures to my unmown yard*

"I'm choosing to let my yard grow wild, to help the pollinators."

*waves at a stack of dirty dishes*

"This, too, is for the pollinators."

*trips over a pile of dirty laundry"

"Pollinators."

@stevemur @kareem_carr If that was the point of the meme they would have absolutely included white on white crime, which would make the point much more effectively

This feels like a bad faith argument

@ATinyGreenCell This is such a cool project!! As a highschool teacher with a background in evolutionary bio this is such an exciting sounding project?!

Since it is #TeacherAppreciationWeek, I would love to start a thread of all teacher discounts and freebies. Please share if you know of any.

@QuestNutrition is giving all educators/school staff 20% off of everything through May. Just use the code: "QuestSupportsTeachers"

[Alex @CoEvoCoParent]

I'm sure literally anyone on here knows this already, but shout out to the fact @NSTA has some really great online asynchronous PDs for members!

Check them out if you need a few hours sometime!

Anyone have ideas for what to spend an AP environmental science budget on? I haven't spent much this year and am looking for ideas!

@cracklyn_ @sticker314 "A rock collection inside" is actually fewer characters... Oof

[Earthjustice @Earthjustice]

The IPCC just released a report they called a "survival guide for humanity" and we're still approving massive oil projects.

[Alex @CoEvoCoParent]

@johannabrown let me know how the book is!! looks great!

[Alex @CoEvoCoParent]

Knowing I won't be at school tomorrow, and needing to write sub plans, but also having taught all day and not wanting to write sub plans right now...

Today a student said they thought I was born in 1968, that's all, that's the tweet

[Alex @CoEvoCoParent]

@teachbk I always find it ironic in education that there's a huge push to not work outside contract hours, but then also to give lots of homework in the name of rigor, I don't want to work after 3:16, so why would I make my kids?
