A 9th grader made my day when they appreciated that I *didn't* answer their questions: "You even would take our question and write it on the board and have the class try to solve it as a whole rather than just giving an answer which is better than just giving an answer." #iTeachPhysics

It was my absolute honor to be recognized twice this week by the MA Dept. of Elementary and Secondary Ed for being selected as a PAEMST state finalist. First, two reps came to my school faculty meeting to share w/my colleagues and next they held a swanky dinner for award winning teachers. 1/2

I think I accidentally called a male colleague sweetie: "Thanks for the invitation. Unfortunately, we can’t attend this awesome event. Most of my team will be taking AP exams that week, boo!"

Creating a Physics 2 course w/colleagues for next year. Algebra-based, for 11th & 12th grades, second to a physics first (9th grade), interested in modeling (capital M- modeling & computational) and experimentation. Got anything I could build on? Prefer not from scratch. #ITeachPhysics 🎢

Spring is finally doing her thing here in Western MA. (Video shows a flag in the foreground and an old New England church in the background. Sky is crisp blue. Green trees between the two.)

Light a bulb with a battery and just one wire. I prefaced the challenge saying it’s tough but everyone always gets it, so they should work alone for the biggest aha moment. G, in the middle, moved away from his group! #iTeachPhysics 🎢
