Intro: Tweeting and chilling from the #EinsteinFellows22

A1: Teachers show students STEM is dynamic. constantly evolving field of study by embodying that stance in their teaching / learning, continually asking "what would happen if", and sharing their path of transformation. #EinsteinFellows22

A2: Role of creativity & curiosity can be taught using real-life scientific advancements, showing scientist's curiosity through observation; show how is interdisciplinary; encourage students to ask questions, experiment, think critically. #EinsteinFellows22

A3: To connect with STEM professionals: school events like career fairs, guest lecturers; hands-on workshops taught by STEM professionals; local industries & research facilities giving guided tours & students have opportunity to interact. #EinsteinFellows22

Telling it like it is…

Thankful. Honored. Inspired.

A1: As a math person, I am only now beginning to see myself as a STEM person. This past year has shown me that curiosity, connection, creativity, context & imagination is at the core of a STEM identity. #EinsteinFellows22

A2: To cultivate STEM identity in my students, I’ll start by sharing my journey. And to provide an environment and experiences cultive STEM habits of mind as well as inclusivity. There are many ways of being STEM! #EinsteinFellows22

Congratulations to the next cohort of Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellows! I'll be rooting for you! #EinsteinFellows23

Laura and I are presenting at #ISTE this morning! Come see us if you're there! #EinsteinFellows22 Laura Akesson

Always wonderful to get positive feedback! Thank you! #EinsteinFellows22

Thanks so much to Dave and the entire Positive Polarity podcast team for having me on this week. I appreciated your thoughtful questions on ADHD and being able to share resources to help folks learn more! #adhd #adhdawareness #podc…lnkd.in/g-tFPfRz lnkd.in/gDAKACN4

Last time we are all together. I am proud to have served with this amazing group of educators. Slow and steady wins the race. Thank you AEF! #Einsteinfellows22

Still elevating this conversation in DC. Now if only to gain traction.

The hemorrhaging crisis in education won’t be solved until we stop the bleeding.

In 2018, more teachers resigned from the profession than any other year. In 2019, that number was surpassed. In 2020, again, surpassed. 2021, yet again, SURPASSED! 2022, you guessed it! Teaching was bad before the pandemic…now it’s UNSUSTAINABLE.

In NYC, Math for America provides a professional community for STEM teachers to share & leverage their combined skills. This increases teachers’ impact in the school and beyond, but also helps keep them in the classroom. Read more in our annual report: annualreports.simonsfoundation.org/2022/math-for-…

This 100%! Adults who perpetuate chaos in all forms.

This. 💯

A thought-provoking paper by AEF Program 20-22 colleague @ProfShakB about rethinking HS mathematics. Way to go Dr. Bland! justequations.org/resource/beyon…
