americasfavteacher.org/2025/mark-vo... Consider helping me help fund projects to get fresh produce to families in need, keep Malawian children in school by not being hungry, & developing a model for breaking down achievement gaps in communities. These are all student led! #education #teachers

#STEM activities/labs for schools w/ nearly NO resources, equipment, or electricity; they use the bare minimum of materials! We developed this to help train teachers who'd never done such labs or lessons, to help change how science is taught. @miriam0907.bsky.social sciforallstudents.blogspot.com

There is a good summary of the data in the provided link, showing a variety of aspects of #climate change and what the trends have been over decades. Note that the 1.5 degree C threshold is what we wanted to avoid since the Paris Climate Accord was signed in 2016...instead, continuous heat records.

If one truly learns and understands a topic, one should be able to think about and use it in multiple ways. #learningtool #education #physics #science #teaching #mastery

Whether it's #equity, #racialjustice, or simply #education ur interested in, I think the fundamental issues we must address are academic achievement & opportunity gaps, primarily between white students & students of color. Some thoughts & past results here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWJC...

Some initial thoughts about a change in mindset in how we think about #students. We are complex, unique blends of emotions, moods & intelligences, and our environment helps determine which ones are present in a given moment...similar to particles in #quantum science. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZo7...

Many students & #educators seem to have #SEL fatigue; it's also been politicized, w/ some states wanting to forbid doing anything w/ SEL in #schools. I think we got the letters in the wrong order - colleagues like it when I call it what it is, ELS - Essential Life Skills! What do you think?!
