I'm a highschool math and science teacher, science department head and teacher leader in my school. Currently working on #ThinkingClassroom and gradeless assessments
I often talk with my students about the inverse stress curve; on day 1, I have 90 new faces and only one chance to make a strong impression. For students, it’s the lightest day of the semester. 1/3

Intelligence depends on more than cognitive horsepower. It requires cognitive flexibility.

The faster the world evolves, the greater the cost of rigidity. Stubbornness is a path to getting trapped in the past.

The future belongs to those with the courage to change their minds.

Had a great conversation with my Vice Principal today. We were talking about leading a team of teachers in a course I don’t currently teach. She reminded me: I’m aiming to lead, not just manage. That stuck with me.

Last week started #SPH3U electromagnetism unit by visualizing magnetic field lines. Always a great engaging lesson, especially seeing field lines in 3 dimensions! #ITeachPhysics

Hey Bluesky, I am jumping on here from Twitter to connect with teaching friends and to show what worked and didn't work in my classroom, then hopefully reflect on my journey...
