Again. Grades are not what matters!

[Ben Cichy @bencichy]

Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon.

STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.

@casas_jimmy Yes! Life-long learning, the trait, I value you the most in my pre-service teachers!

[Mira Williams @miracwilliams]

@DrEmilyEly Yes! Let’s do this!

[Mira Williams @miracwilliams]

Yes! It’s our job. As teachers, we must engage learners and create classrooms where students feel safe speaking up and taking risks!

[Jason Pearl @jasoninmia]

Every semester, after three or four weeks, a student I assumed was disengaged comes out of nowhere and says something totally brilliant. It’s obvious but bears repeating: never equate not talking with not paying attention.
