I teach IB Chemistry and high school chemistry, and I'm always interested in new ways to get my students to interact with and explore the science around them.

@MissKayTeaching Truth. I spent my entire Spring Break grading and lesson planning (first weekend evenings too) and spending the last weekend before we begin again tomorrow at a work conference.

@IBchemmilam Student who has not done any work this grading period other than tests emails me the night before grades are due to tell me she is doing it all and ask if she can schedule a 1-on-1 Zoom meeting TONIGHT to go over "a few little things I don't understand" Spoiler alert: I said no😡

IB Visual Arts students are taking advantage of this gorgeous winter sunlight to create cyanotypes. They are experimenting with time, movement, and acids and bases to alter their prints. #CHSArt #CHSHome #IBVisualArts #Experimentation @ib_chs

My favorite family tradition is our monthly meal with all our DFW cousins. If everyone’s there, that’s 6 households and 22 people, including 11 kids, one dog, and of course frequently the addition of visiting out-of-town kin #CHSHome

So many of the techniques we already use for informal formative assessments can also be used to support linguistic learning #CISDESLBIL

“Every time we ask students to respond to a question or perform a task and fail to hold them accountable for their response or performance, we send them a message: You are not expected to achieve.” pg 43, Sheltered Instruction in Texas, John Seidlitz #CISDESLBIL
