Gave a workshop to engineers recently who were having trouble being heard. The problem wasn’t the data. It was how they were presenting it. They’re so focused on the numbers they forgot the most important part - the people behind the #’s. #JayOlstadSpeaking #JayOlstadStorytelling

Or when @lukerogers2430 texts you asking for help with a staircase he’s building!

New response to students who want to know “when will I use this?”

When your 8th grade sister calls you at 9pm and asks for help on her math! 😂

[Mr. Lenz @LenzMr]

As we move back into our “new normal”, I handed out & had students turn in paper for the first time since the fall. I organize their assignments in these folders that I’ve had for over a decade when @Lufkin_S gave them to me as a student teacher. A reminder of the impact he had!

[Mr. Lenz @LenzMr]

My cooperating teacher @Lufkin_S passed away after a battle with ALS. He was a wonderful teacher who helped shape my view of what I wanted to be as a teacher.

More importantly, he was a great person! Reading the comments on his Facebook and Caring Bridge was inspiring. (1/3)

@kare11 our 13 month old is wondering why 45 is shorter than 43 and why 53 is twice as tall as 45?!

Another example of data misrepresentation from a news outlet 😖

Want to improve the taste of a sandwich linearly? Cut it into rectangular halves.

Want to improve the taste of a sandwich exponentially? Cut it into triangular halves.

Can @morinvilles or @chemmwhs explain the science behind this?!?!?

[Mr. Lenz @LenzMr]

empathy, compassion, and kindness.

His last wish was to remind us what was important. I can’t wait to celebrate his life in the Spring!

I know students might not remember or appreciate the content we teach but I sure hope they can remember us as caring people who wanted the best for them! I can tell you nobody thanked Mr. Lufkin for teaching them the quadratic formula but they sure were thankful for his (2/3)

I assume everyone takes the opportunity to teach their 3 month olds about fractions, decimals, and percentages while updating them on how many fingernails they have clipped. Right?

[Mr. Lenz @LenzMr]

@redmuss123 @Lenzy2108 I think that I’m gonna work to make it the best learning experience I can for my students!

[Mr. Lenz @LenzMr]

Feel like it’s a good time to re-share!
