Hey y'all. Anyone else out there being mandated to teach OpenSciEd? What do you think? Cards on the table... I'm not a fan. Help me see why I'm wrong - or not alone. Thanks

It's just your curriculum resources like any other resource types. Positives: vetted and designed by teachers, provides all print resources including slides to walk through process with a mix of group, independent and partner activities, and it is phenomenon and discovery based. The main negative is that it can be very overwhelming to dive into. I would assume your school has a plan to order supplies which a few companies will do for you as kits for each unit. I wish you luck and to be honest my district has somehow operates with zero curriculum plans or resources so be thankful.

My issue with Op Sci Ed as a neuro specialist is that it does not grade on any based criteria required for science based experimentation - which is really all grading is once it is broken down. A sampling of 4 questions as all testing for an entire term would be laughed out of any peer reviewed science journal. Science should follow science........kind of a criteria for teaching it.

What is that?

I don’t know what that is, but based on what you said, it doesn’t sound good.

I've heard good things about it. Can you adapt it to a more discovery based approach?

We like adding the Explore Learning Gizmos which are a variety of math and science related simulations. They are open-ended and flexible as far as grade level.

We use it at my middle school and my teachers love it.

The teacher shortage is a national crisis (one that was foretold decades ago). In other industries, when there is an employee shortage for a specific field, the company would increase the salary and benefits for that position because of the law of supply and demand. Why doesn't this work for education? Shouldn't teachers be paid more because we are in short supply? Should certain subjects be paid more?

I have to express my fears somewhere. I think I failed both my graduate classes (teaching math and the other was Climatology fundamentals). My fault I know, so much going on at work caused me to be to tired that I struggled staying awake to eat dinner! My fault I didn’t express this stress and missed a few assignments. And you know what else stress does- makes it hard to learn and retain. If our students feel that way…that explains many things. Prayers that I did well and don’t fail.
