Hey, has anyone else done modeling instruction workshops? (Thru AMTA or state affiliate.) I'm trying to encourage co-workers to invest the 2-3 weeks. Testimonials from outside people might help!

I’ve now been twice. It radically transformed how I think about my classroom, for the better. (I’m taking next summer off so I can take a trip with my kids, but will be going back again the year after.)

Parts of the Modeling philosophy have their fingerprints all over the NGSS.

I can not recommend going highly enough!

You will not regret attending a Modeling Instruction workshop through ATMA. It is a big time investment. But, the changes you see in your students and your teaching are totally worth it!

love them!!!!!! Currently rewriting my curriculum very slowly to structure other subjects like them.

Every physics teacher should take at least one AMTA workshop. The research behind Modeling Instruction is also the research behind the NGSS. (Except for putting newtonian thinking in middle school...)

I loved it! I took the Chemistry one in Raleigh NC at NC State. It’s been a while now though. 7 years I think. I had so much fun networking and meeting new people. Chemistry teachers are fun and we had a great time hanging out. One of the best PD’s I’ve ever done.

Hi. People Manager here. I've been one for 12 years now and I encourage my team to not be "yes" people. At this time, it feels like my manager wants me and my team to be yes people for her.

Looking for recommendations on financial modeling courses (paid) that I can take for 3 statements/operating model, valuations, M&A, & LBO. Have been getting interviews with banks (3 in 2 months) but I come up short with the modeling experience (and weak on the technicals too). I’m thinking doing a modeling course will help with the no modeling experience + update my technicals? Thanks.

Additional Posts in High School Sciences

I will be teaching Biology 9 and Anatomy and Physiology in the fall at a new school. I am in search of recommendations on a good lab manual for both classes. I would like a manual that has a thorough teacher edition and includes a good variety of labs that are appropriate for all learning levels.

Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

For AP or honors teachers, is it a teacher’s job to filter who gets into the class if there are already set district expectations about course pathways? I’m tired of counselors sending students to me asking to take an AP class in 10th grade when the expectation is that all students take the general course in 10th grade and are allowed to take the AP class in their 11th or 12th grade year. I feel like that decision is not mine to make anymore and I don’t want to make it anyway.
