More big news. We learned from Kentanji Jackson that only biologists can define the word woman. Fortunately my new book “What Is A Woman” is listed on Amazon as a biology text. In fact it’s currently the best selling biology book in the country. Another win for science!
Here’s something I love:
When central office staff remember what it’s like to work in a school...
And principals remember what it’s like to be a teacher...
And teachers remember what it’s like to be a student.
And we all remember that it’s about the kids.
Had a good reflection on the main themes of teaching STEM today. Many of these themes and ideas are universally applicable to all subjects of teaching, and the program did a great job at preparing us for further training. #educ422f19_04
#educ422F19_04 testing our Launch Bot using #Legomindstorm This is our second week of robotics and this week the kids get to create their own obstacle course! Lots of fun! A take away from last week: remember to match the correct ports to the code 🤖🤖🤖
You might have brilliant lessons... but are you patient with students who need it explained a 2nd or 3rd time?
You might utilize all the latest technology... but do you work with the student who seems to have an attitude?
I think these answers matter.
As a principal, one of my goals was for our staff to understand that I believed their families were the most important thing in the world to them.
Educators love their job, but most have that job to support their family & they shouldn’t feel guilty when they take care of ‘em.
#educ422f19_04 we created our own name animations on #scratch
I think the kids will definitely enjoy this #designchallenge because they will get the chance to express their creativity
#educ422f19_04 these are our codes for the #recycle video on #scratch
*key note: have to make sure to click on the correct sprite when inputting commands
On this #WorldTeachersDay we are calling for urgent action from governments worldwide to recognize that it takes decent salaries and working conditions, mentoring programs, and professional autonomy to ensure great public schools for every student.
