One thing I’ve learned in my years in education: you can’t wait for policy makers to make change.
We are THE EXPERTS at innovating inside the box. It’s our job. Leaders - start with your why. Innovate your how. A safe learning environment is what we want. Don’t pass the buck.
Update - the list is empty! Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate these families! 🥰
A good friend of mine has been helping Afghan refugees get settled in Houston. She’s hosting a baby shower for 35 pregnant women and set up an Amazon wishlist. If you’re looking for ways to give, know that your help goes directly to these families! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/RW…

I think I referenced @gcouros a million times in my workshop following his, but this might be my favorite. The “unknown better” - I want that. Thank you for your many nuggets. 🔈🔈 – at Al Surra, Kuwait

Where are my chemistry teachers at? – at Al Surra, Kuwait
When designing #OpenSciEd instructional materials, we always start by asking STUDENTS what they find interesting. If you know any real-life high school students, please share this survey about #Chemistry unit #phenomena with them.

Making coffee this morning before my workshops start...and decided to make a quick video and use it for a CCC mini lesson. 🤓 #NGSS – at Al Surra, Kuwait
Some really great resources on how to approach the Crosscutting concepts - that third dimension we all try to teach but don’t really know where to start. Now you do! #NGSS – at Al Surra, Kuwait
Just uploaded 15 new mini-lessons on conceptual thinking. Each lesson contains a video and customizable thinking slides. I'm starting with systems, causation and patterns. thewonderofscience.com/minil…
Guest speaker in my PhD class - “online classes are knowledge rich & relationship poor.” I build great bonds with my Ss through our learning, but decided to take a break from physics, asked them to pick a room-alone or with a group...didn’t matter. Then we talked. We needed that. – at Al Surra, Kuwait
Ending with a fun little design challenge before the break. Totally broke the design constraint of reuse and recycle, but entertaining! Looking forward to the live drop test! – at Hawalli, Kuwait
