Watching the lunar eclipse with my 8yo and he runs inside to grab some paper and a pencil. He modeled the phenomenon for me! My NGSS heart is about to burst! #lunareclipse #sciencemodeling #phenomenalscience

We face a persistent challenge: bringing science learning opportunities to the Ts & Ss who need them most. That’s why we created the Access Fund. It’s designed to connect our proven programs w/ schools & districts that are being left behind. Donate today! bit.ly/3QRVW3n

New teachers: listen. Listen to how the teachers around you talk about teaching and the students. Gravitate toward the ones who are doing the work you want to do one day.

Absolutely love teaching in a district that acknowledges, supports, and encourages the work I, along with an amazing crew of other facilitators, have been doing to help bring the amazing OpenSciEd curriculum to as many classrooms as possible! #scienceisforeveryone

#greenmeansgo 🎉 High quality instructional materials make a HUGE difference in students' ability to be engaged, excited, and curious about the world around them. So happy to be one of the 48K teachers using the #openscied curriculum in my classroom! #allgoodallgreen #edreports

A few photos of the work of the incredible 8th grade teachers at OpenSciEd Equitable Instruction Initiative’s round 4 professional learning event. I had a blast working with these incredibly gifted and dedicated teachers!

Teachers don’t get burned out from working with kids. We get burned out from playing school. There’s a simple, sustainable joy in working with, even for, kids. Let us teach. We’re pretty good at it.

Is behaviour worse in schools? 🧵 Almost universally the (hundreds of) schools I have spoken to have said YES - and attributed this to mental health and emotional problems arising from the pandemic. BUT . . .

THIS is why I teach what and how I teach! This curriculum literally makes me a better teacher. My classroom is a safer and more equitable place for my students to learn and succeed. OpenSciEd #TeacherAppreciateWeek #openscied

My favorite part of the 4th grade recorder unit in music class is that it’s a gift that keeps on giving…at 7am during summer break. 😖
