Last week, my friend Sarah (@MrsBonner301) “involuntarily resigned” from her classroom teaching position. I am so disappointed with the ways our schooling systems are failing our best teachers. With her permission, I'm going to share Sarah’s statement of resignation. 🧵

Our team has had many conversations about how to support students revising their model through both movement and code. This little scaffold prompting students to list a model revision via action and script was a big success! @step_prjct #gemstep

So excited to be working with kids in a classroom again! First week in and 5th graders are very into being fish and programming their movement. Looking forward to sharing more about hybrid embodied computational models! @step_prjct #embodied_learning #science_modeling

Nooo....I loved this show!
This quoted post is unavailable.
I learned so much from this conference. It's a great place to meet peers and talk about your interests!
Not that I’m biased or anything, but y’all should ABSOLUTELY register at LSGSC.org ✨ let’s just say there will be some familiar faces 👀
