@cluzniak Forget Calc and teach these kids about stats and data manipulation so they can critically analyze information. A select number of fields use Calc, but all students will eligible to vote right after high school.

@howie_hua Teaching math: still learning math

[Jessica Wood @MrsWoodSTEM]

This is why I love teaching math!

[ARCHIVED NASA Exoplanets @NASAExoplanets]

The upcoming launch🚀 of @NASAWebb is only the beginning. The following 29 days will be exciting, but harrowing. Thousands of parts must work correctly to unfold Webb, all while it flies through space alone, to a destination nearly a million miles away. https://t.co/9K5H64extx

So much of what we need to fix in education isn't happening because those working in education are so exhausted that we don't have the time or energy to fix enough of it.

I see so much promise.
I am surrounded by brilliance.

But we're all too exhausted to do enough about it.

For tests, I dedicate the first 5 minutes to have students hold the tests and talk to their group about strategies (w/out pencils). This lowers their test anxiety AND when you walk around, you hear some of the richest math conversations. #iteachmath

Dear Parents,

Please do not talk to my teachers like you’ve lost your mind because I will quickly help you find it.

Sincerely,
Administration

[Next Generation Science Standards @OfficialNGSS]

When science curriculum is connected to students' local community, students who have traditionally been alienated from science will:
🟣recognize science as relevant to their lives and future
🟣develop agency in science
🟣consider careers in science and engineering

Our first high school pep rally since COVID started so long ago. It’s awesome to see the kids pumped up and laughing!❤️

Having therapized friends is great until you ask them for advice and they tell you to journal about it and you have to reply like bitch I just sent you 32 text messages that WAS me journaling

@tkdanonymous That’s going to be my Halloween costume this year.

If students leave school without:
1) knowing their talents
2) finding their passions
3) a sense of purpose
4) confidence experienced from success
then we have failed them.

[Jessica Wood @MrsWoodSTEM]

@tkdanonymous It’s worth it.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

Dear Science Deniers,

(Anti-vaxers, anti-maskers, climate hoaxers, flat-Earthers, etc)

You found one another & communicate via stupefyingly advanced technologies that pivot on the discoveries of scientists.

Just thought I’d remind you of that fact.

Sincerely,
Your Smart Phone
