@MrJoeMilliano @rutherfordcasey @MartaStoeckel @EKphys @cossettej @mmaas01 @fnoschese @kellyoshea @karalu79 @RiPhysKin @aserkin Great! A question you might be able to help me with: Is mechanics designed to be a full year general course? I see they also have E & M and beyond mechanics so curious how the pacing works with each, or how you've used them if you do more than one.

Hey #modphys friends... I have questions about Modeling and NGSS alignment - I'd love to pick your brain. Starting with MN peeps, but will tag more: @rutherfordcasey @MartaStoeckel @EKphys @cossettej @mmaas01 @fnoschese @kellyoshea @karalu79 @RiPhysKin @aserkin @MrJoeMilliano

@WesleyMorganSHS @rutherfordcasey @MartaStoeckel @EKphys @cossettej @mmaas01 @fnoschese @kellyoshea @karalu79 @RiPhysKin @aserkin @MrJoeMilliano I'm in a similar place, and have previously dabbled in #modchem so trying to find some with insight into both. I would love to hear any initial impressions you might have about how they align!

@aserkin @rutherfordcasey @MartaStoeckel @EKphys @cossettej @mmaas01 @fnoschese @kellyoshea @karalu79 @RiPhysKin @MrJoeMilliano We are looking at modeling as an option for our district physics curriculum. I am wondering how aligned #modphys curriculum is with the DCIs and CCCs of NGSS, or how much modifying it would take to integrate them. I'd love to know what you think!

@MartaStoeckel @rutherfordcasey @EKphys @cossettej @mmaas01 @fnoschese @kellyoshea @karalu79 @RiPhysKin @aserkin @MrJoeMilliano Awesome, I would love to chat - I think I have your email somewhere, I'll reach out and coordinate a time. Thanks!

One of the biggest challenges in education is that students (and indeed all humans) want autonomy in their lives. And yet a lot of evidence exists to suggest students when left to their own devices make bad decisions about their learning (1/6) 🧵

BREAKING: Congress just reintroduced a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

This is huge.

🎓 A new review by some of the biggest hitters in educational research identifies 6 common misconceptions about PD.

Most teacher educators will be familiar with these, but here's a quick summary just in case.

There is an extraordinary paradox at the heart of capitalist growth in rich economies, which is important to understand. Here's how it works:🧵

A few weeks ago, parents, activists and educators in a red state where Republicans hold a legislative supermajority successfully beat back an anti-history (CRT) law, & yet I saw no national coverage of it at all. This says something important about media. https://t.co/DX8VhARxTh

The issue with the workload of teachers is the fact we can’t just ‘muddle through’. You’ve essentially got an audience for 4/5 hours a day. If you haven’t done ‘everything’ you’d just end up standing in front of them and shrugging. That’s why Ts ‘have to’ keep working 50+ hours.

Restorative practice is challenging. It takes time to cultivate it to be effective. That said, it takes no time to cultivate it to be more effective than punitive justice.

These @STEPUPphysics guidelines hang in the classroom all year to remind students how to make space for all voices to be heard.

@MoniseLSeward 🙌🏼🙌🏼 students LEARN this behavior. This is 100% transactional and is weaponized against those that don’t comply.

MN's Gen. Ed formula hasn't chgd. since 1989 & devalues students receiving SPED & EL services, creating significant costs that K12s statewide have to fund. These x-sub.s cost MPS ~$75 million in 2021. The #mnleg can & must address it. An $8 bill. surplus is a good place to start.
