@bradkingma @kramercorp I love this Brad! Can’t way to see your new digs!

@IBchemmilam This is cool! I love the scaffolding provided in the vertical whiteboarding. Curious how you are going to approach worksheet 4

[Khristen Phillips @khemphillips]

@chschemcrazy I love that idea! Let us know how it turns out

[Khristen Phillips @khemphillips]

@eposthuma New whiteboards!!!

@jakequery A large part of the teaching workforce is retiring and we have done nothing to recruit and retain teachers. Policymakers have set us down a destructive path and doubled down despite troubling evidence of the impact. No surprise what it has done to the teaching profession 5/5

[Khristen Phillips @khemphillips]

@jakequery What people don’t realize/ignore is that bad school reform, siphoning money away from public schools that serve 90% of students, painting teachers as failures against impossible expectations hurts kids. 4/

@chschemcrazy I think we were in organic synthesis together. I loved that class for the history, as much as anything.

@chschemcrazy The capstone was my favorite part of the grad program. We did a unit on the chemistry involved in the Flint water crisis

@quags51 Awesome!

@treddtaylor I love that idea! Having the presenters rotate so students in the group can rotate. All students have to be involved in the creation and presentation of their boards. Fabulous

@MrKuhneGHSMath Congrats! Well deserved

@CarlaMeyrink @hollie_holman @SurthrivEDU Or how about — zero on a 100- point scale is bad but a non-zero policy can be a disaster on a 100-point scale if tests\quizzes make up less than 30% of the final grade

[Khristen Phillips @khemphillips]

@hollie_holman @CarlaMeyrink @SurthrivEDU Sounds like change that didn’t get buy-in or include conversations about what grades should represent. Is grading about completing a bunch of work to show learning? Rigor taken into account? — in that case a no-zero policy is disastrous.

@Area30CC Best wishes Madi! You are going to be an awesome teacher!

[Khristen Phillips @khemphillips]

@numericalguy @SurthrivEDU Smaller assessments more often. You need 2-3 versions, don’t use the same questions. Students get feedback. Smaller assessments more often can build in retakes on older topics and/or mandate retakes outside of class. Procrastination can be a problem.

@asinders Congratulations! All that hair, he is adorable
