"It was so encouraging and inspiring to discuss equity issues with a group of like-minded science teachers. The facilitators were deliberate about building community, identity and equity." -- Molly G., high school teacher. Apply today! #iteachphysics https://t.co/7t0OZk7e4n

While my jaw is wired and I'm taking my meals through a straw, I decided to keep myself duly occupied by "Lessons of Phyz"-ing this 2010 video series that goes past 1927. I'm 2 episodes in with 9 to go. It could make for some nice post-AP exam enrichment.

"In the late 19th century, Marie Curie discovered that when certain types of rocks were stored in the same drawer overnight with undeveloped photographic film, the film was exposed. This chance event led to the discovery of radioactivity."

I had this down as Henri Becquerel.

I wrote nearly 5,000 words about the heartbreak, resilience and hope among some of the 146 Black students at a public university where more than half of the 21,000 undergraduates are white.

@BarnettDreyfuss Seems like a personal question! HS kids! :)

[Anna Lapwood @annalapwood]

This was so moving. Spontaneously stopped off at the London Bridge station organ to play a couple of pieces for the Queen. This lovely security guard, Marcella, asked if I could play Lascia ch'io pianga. Turns out she trained as a singer! ❤️😭

[Kayland Lamar, M. Ed @KaylandLamar]

All educators should normalize these statements:
✨“I don’t have the capacity to add that to my plate right now.”
✨ “Weekends are for family.”
✨ “I only respond to emails during office hours.”
Know your job description & be firm with your boundaries. Protect your mental health.

Ed, a former student? I have a 6th grader who struggles w/ organization & Science~yet is a super talented drawer; let's encourage their passions!
