@WarrenJWells I ride that first one every week on my way home from Trader Joe’s with a kid on the back and a trailer full of groceries. It’s well located, but the S curve to use someone’s driveway curb cut is unfortunate.

@NAEmmanuele You can click the box that says your school doesn’t rank students in your Common App teacher profile, then they don’t ask you those ranking questions! I’ve avoided them for the last 4 years since our district stopped making class ranks.

@floydtheteach Here’s the system I use on Aeries. It’d be easier with a standards based gradebook like Empower, but this is a good work-around. https://t.co/owRKnuX448

@MrJoeMilliano I use a “Physics Everything Sheet” as the intro to new concepts/variables that separates the variable from the unit. Students can use it on any test, project, etc and we keep referencing back to it. We add around 50 concepts in the year https://t.co/e4tCNwYkzm

For 5 years, during college, I worked as a counselor at St. Dorothy’s Rest Summer Camp. It helped me grow into the person I am today and gave me a love of teaching and working with kids. Help send ill kids to camp with me (please) https://t.co/0twS20Cole

@smarks84 @4WheelWorkOut Disabled people are at work now getting a job and I think they have a lot to work with and I don’t think they’re doing it until I can come to get the job and I can get a new one and I will have them send you the code and I’ll take you out there thanks for the invite

@KNewtonPhysics This is an excellent point. 9th graders need a lot of help learning how to make their own choices that will benefit them. I’m SBG, but include “standards” from our grad profile of Conscientious learning and Collaboration at 15% each to incentivize good choices (plus grace, etc)

@NBCOlympics @ByGollyMolly12 Congrats Molly! Please post her post-race interview! It was excellent. “I’m so tired. Please drink a beer for me!”

@classenj @MrJoeMilliano *some* houses?!? My (brand new) classroom looks the size of just the “classroom, non-lab” part of those rooms and is larger than my 1200 sq ft house (which is also wildly overpriced #BayAreaProblems)

[Nick Williams @NickDubTweet]

@MrJoeMilliano To be clear, we teach physics for all in 10th grade, and don’t gate-keep into our AP classes. Anyone can take AP physics if they’re in or completed Alg 2 and 11th/12th grade

[Nick Williams @NickDubTweet]

@MrJoeMilliano Genuine question: This was my first year teaching APP1. We took the digital version, so we still don’t have scores back yet, but these global scores are gross. We generally have 30-40 students and one section of “AP Physics.” Should I start teaching APPC instead? No AP at all?
