A group of teachers and I, talk regularly about our highs and lows and our joys and frustrations of teaching. I want to invite more teachers to these chats. Please join me for our first, of hopefully many, official meet ups to discuss SELF CARE. Is Self Care part of your routine? Are you in need of some quick ways to take better care of yourself? Either way, come join the convo!

Hi Dance Teachers! What have been your favorite “get to know you activities” over zoom on the first few days of school?

Our district is piloting a STEM/project based 7th grade Algebra 1 class next year. Anyone else doing this?

Sink or swim. I applied for a position as a “STEM Coach” that I don’t qualify for via university degree, but do qualify for on experience and self initiative. Got nothing to lose:).

We started back in August in distance learning mode, core subjects only. So no STEM classes. One of our 8th grade teachers was out on maternity leave, so I was asked to take that spot for the first semester. I was a long time 5th grade teacher, so not a difficult adjustment, except for learning new to me digital curriculum.

I have 2 STEM classes for the second quarter. Still online, so my focus is on coding.

Wondering what other STEM teachers are doing online?

In first grade, do you think teaching word problems is easier if they draw then make a number sentence? Or identify the parts of the number sentence they hear and then draw if necessary?

Anyone know where to get free stuff for reverse engineering projects? I have tried Good Will, Home Depot, RAFT, Staples, and OfficeMax.

I am never good at asking follow up questions during an interview. Actually this will be more like a discussion about a STEM opening in my district. Ideas on questions and maybe conversation starters? Thanks!
