after listening to the news this morning 14 yr old says: “It’s strange that people think that a vaccine that has helped millions of people will kill them but a virus that has killed millions of people won’t.”

Everyone's always so worried that if we don't give trad exams students won't be prepared for college. Why aren't we concerned with preparing them to find intrinsic motivation for the vast amount of ungraded work in a college course that nobody is checking for "points"?

I need at least one day a month in my classroom without students or required meetings. One day to organize, grade, plan, rearrange my classroom, organize my library, update decorations, etc. Teachers should have the option to work from home on these days, too.

This is my plan to defront my physics classroom and get students in groups of 3- even though I’m stuck with tables that fit 2 students. #BuildingThinkingClassrooms #modphys #AMTA Peter Liljedahl

I led a session yesterday on #ModelingInstruction at Teays Valley’s Viking Academy with some incredible science teachers. I incorporated a bunch of #BuildingThinkingClassrooms tools. Have a great school year! #VikingPride AMTA Peter Liljedahl

JUST A TEACHER SOCIAL MEDIA OBSERVATION AND DEFINITELY NOT AIMED AT ANYONE but … if school boards want teachers to care for the emotional and physical needs of their students … a good start would be caring for the emotional and physical needs of their teachers.

One of the most frustrating parts of being a teacher is hearing non-educators debate the operation of educational systems. I’ve been on an airplane before, but certainly won’t debate the pilot on how to operate one.

If you hold a pencil drawing up to a Van de Graaff generator, the discharge travels through the graphite on its way to ground! Most *shocking* discovery of 2023 for me so far 😏⚡️ #iteachphysics

Most of the greatness that occurs in the classroom is not measurable on a standardized tests. A student finally getting a concept. Making friends in play & recess. Having teachers who genuinely care about them and help them become their best. Who value & believe in them.

I anticipate my feed will be flooded with math teachers taking selfies with Peter Liljedahl at #BTCC23 over the next couple of days. I don't mind. To me, each selfie represents a teacher who's transforming the way they think about teaching and learning. Thanks, Peter.
