@BenPurkert One piece of writing feedback that still haunts me to this day:

"Maybe you should try journalism."

@mrscienceteach A2: if we think about it in terms of essentials and enrichment, then that might be a start. What is critical to try to get students to think about and how do we offer opportunities to engage with no-stress learning that enriches kids’ appreciation of the subject? #kfpcommunity

[Al Donaldson @don_al2001]

@mrscienceteach A2: This is such a tough one. I teach HS Eng where the skills can loop, so I feel like I have way more flexibility than someone who is teaching a course where the skills have to stack or where there is a linear endpoint . . . So, yeah, I don’t know.

@allisunrae One thing that has been really important for me is to make some space for kids to engage socially. The disconnect from the community they are so accustomed to is jarring and a huge part of the learning experience has to be about just reconnecting on a human level. #KFPcommunity

I think for me it was my first experience with a student teacher. Such an important moment to know that you can help colleagues even while you are continuously learning yourself. A real growth experience. #kfpchat #A1

Just a huge “Thank You” to @amays_bwfund for leading me and @JamieLathan through an amazing networking and information sharing experience this week. So grateful for your time and support. What a powerful @kenanfellows internship it has been! Excited for the next steps.

To all those scared for our future: we can get through this better than we started.

We have the power to triumph over hatred, division, and bigotry.

But decency cannot be taken for granted. It is something we must create, advance, and actively work to build each and every day.

[Al Donaldson @don_al2001]

Had a great first @kenanfellows internship day with the generous and welcoming folks @NCStateOIED. @JamieLathan and I are already talking about how much we are learning. Hope everyone else in the group enjoyed the day.

@mrscienceteach #kenanchatf2f A2 I’m not sure. I guess because it is a platform that can communicate with the world all at one time.

[Al Donaldson @don_al2001]

@mrscienceteach #kenanchatf2f #A1 often a passive experience rather than an interactive one.
