🚨 #PAEMST, the nation's highest honor for STEM teachers, has been DEFUNDED in the new NSF budget. This award was est by Reagan in 1983.
This award fuels classroom innovation, strengthens the STEM pipeline, and uplifts excellence in every community.

NSF put our names back up on the PAEMST website, but not our bios which are now under review. I am certain that the boxed part of bio is going to be erased. The government is literally erasing our stories.

Note making a la Building Thinking Classrooms + ISLE. This is the missing link that pulls together an active learning environment and collaborative white boarding with notes that actually mean something and a reason to dig into the textbook. Students receive these at the lesson’s end #iteachphysics

Excited to share that I have been awarded the 2023 Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching! This was a long and rigorous process that was also immensely gratifying! Thank you to @secaurphysics.bsky.social for nominating and all the support!

Attendance 2004-2022. You can see it was trending up starting in 2013 to our largest conference ever (DC 2018), went back to "typical" and then plummeted after the pandemic. We have many members of our community who will never attend a conference again.

I find it interesting you're suggesting a focus ok K12. K12 has been showing their dissatisfaction with their feet for a LONG time. We only make up 10% of the conference attendance, but 30% of the membership (and it used to be 50%)

From the deleted Twitter archive. This is hilarious because the next day I found out I was pregnant 😂

This is the set up for a single day of teaching. APPC needs to review yesterday's work and take the quiz. I had to make a backup plan for lecture since my voice is gone. APP1 is vertically whiteboarding and then starting lab, and physics has a condiment day. Don't even include the room setup. #tired

Today we did "whiteboard shuffle" which is a riff on @kellyoshea.bsky.social whiteboard speed dating, which was created by Scott Reed! In this iteration there are 3 different AP problems for students to solve. (I was also shocked how awesome this went because my first though was this was too much)

But is she asking you to make the Bluey fort yet? THAT is a fun phase

I never considered FB a place to get physics support, and there’s some great stuff in certain groups, but others you get that whole picture of educators. I posted my test intervention there too and got this comment. It pains me how many educators gatekeep physics. (And this was a woman!)

Ekaterina and SarahPearl are both studying physics now, and getting to help them start networking was so special for me. Both of them are amazing and are going to do amazing things
