Sharing out the Stephen Breyer/National Constitution Center video on Breyer & how the Court decides a case. It’s such a great way to kick off the process of norm building with students. #NCCed youtu.be/rtpJ9-Dd_mA?si…

Teaching annotation skills? Research skills? How to engage in civil dialogue? Check out these short student facing videos from Retro Report. I had the chance to preview them this summer and I’ve been excited since then for others to see them, too.

It’s Tuesday… and we’re a few weeks from our launch so we’ll start small: teachers, are you back in school? #OTWV 🗳️

Took a lead from Katie Boland & asked whether the students preferred mountains or beach. Seeing how we live by both- I was super curious about their results. #OTWV OnTuesdayWeVote Mr. Werenka Michael C. Martirone Kevin M. Cline

Perfect timing. We’re building civil dialogue norms right now. I’m thinking I’m going to have to use this short video tomorrow or Thursday! Thank you for sharing Retro Report!

You know when you have a lesson that slaps? Today I used the Retro Report video on how to disagree to help students “see” civil dialogue norms. Then we shifted & used the Mercatus Center Pluralism Lab method to practice civil dialogue! So proud of my US History students! Sphere Education Initiative

Hey! Listen! It wouldn’t be a Labor Day weekend without a super effective Paint Map – with a new 16-bit look in honor of PAX's 20th anniversary.🕹️ Most of our roadwork is off, but it’s going to be more packed than a horde in a dungeon crawl on most major routes! Plan ahead! 🎮

Let’s Go Vandals! Gonna be a tough game against Oregon but anything is possible! #GoVandals

Proud Idaho Vandal fan. Way to fight, Idaho. #believe

.Mark Schlereth started singing the Idaho fight song mid-segment and the guys had no idea what was happening 🤣😭

It’s Tuesday! Asked my first content related OnTuesdayWeVote question to my AP Gov students. #OTWV Can’t wait for the national question in a few weeks! Michael C. Martirone Katie Boland Kevin M. Cline Mr. Werenka

A less serious question for my USHistory2 and APUSH students for their 1st OnTuesdayWeVote. The question was: Is chocolate chip the best kind of cookie? #OTWV

And such a quiet place. It seems that few people wander over to this spot even on the busiest of days on the mall.

I’ve been out of the classroom for 2 days (days 5/6 of the yr). The timing is terrible but I’m grateful to Bill of Rights Institute for the lesson on the Columbian Exchange & to Retro Report for their ACE lesson. My students learned abt ACE before they worked w/ the article from BRI.
