Stuff kids say that are actually great open ended questions for physics. “Are cheetahs faster than falling?” - grade 1 I can see this as a start of day question to review motion or start talking about free fall or gravity. Pose the question to groups and let them go!!! 😁😁😁

Here we go!!! Time to roll out our new Tools for Teaching Science workshop with SELO Perimeter Institute this morning!!! 🥳

The more I dig into research on grading, motivation, and life-long learning -- the more convinced I am that we need to PARTNER with students on assessment. The teacher should not be the sole judge of how well students are learning. Maybe not even the primary judge... Research

The last link here is really interesting for those looking to incorporate strategies that have proven effectiveness. Combining 1 or 2 moves that have high effectiveness is huge. John Hattie’s work was one of the first texts that helped me change my practice. 😁😁😁

All this room needs is some E+ participants!!! T - 5 minutes!!!

In the blink of an eye it’s over. I feel so lucky to have met and worked with this group of phenomenal teachers who were so kind, so curious and created such a wonderful community. My heart is full and bursting. Next up, 😴

Learning and information is not neutral - there is impact, meaning and motion. 🤯🥰 I love this view on education. I don’t feel like we ever consider the impact or ramifications for all those 💡 moments. Currently in a session run by CanadianLightSource stellar outreach team!

Just finished my first session of the new Tools for Teaching science course and it looks like it’s gone well so far! Phew!!!

Good luck to all my teacher friends as you get the school year started!!! I’ve had lots of questions lately about #SNC2D but I haven’t taught that course in almost a decade. Luckily my friend @HannLearn has!!!! 😁 Hope this helps!!! sites.google.com/googleapps.wrd…

The OAPT is super excited to show MITs climate change simulator (EnRoads) and how you can use it in your classroom. Send me a message if you want to join us Thursday at 7pm! climateinteractive.org/en-roads/

I’ve been so lucky so far on this trip to Newfoundland!!! The kids and teachers in St Johns were so lovely. We made the drive across the island today to do it all again tomorrow!!! I’m so grateful for my job Perimeter Institute !!!

Inspiring the next generation of physicists is such a gift and the absolute best!!!! Perimeter Institute

An absolute classic but a great activity. Teachers and students love solving the puzzle of Perimeter Institute Black Box!! 😁 Dave Fish and I just wrapped an amazing week in Newfoundland! Thanks for your wonderful hospitality!!!!

Had such a great time STAO today!!! It was so nice to see so many people come out for the conference 🥰 I used to spend the whole day at STAO learning at Perimeter Institute workshops and now I’ve come full circle and today I got to run them!!!
