Learned this poem in elementary school in #Iran ❤️ Talk about a good social emotional learning lesson way back when.

Talk about a good social emotional learning lesson way back when.

Absolutely 💯! Being timely with assignments allows timely feedback to the student. Understanding future topics (at least in science, math, languages, and etc.) depends on understanding preceding material.

Here’s the issue for upper grade science - what we do these three weeks is the basis for what we do the next three weeks. If a kid doesn’t put in the practice now, IDs misunderstandings now, masters it now? They’re sunk for the rest of the year. 1/2



Happy Nowruz to family, friends, colleagues and students who celebrate this wonderful day. May you have a calm day, and an amazing year ahead. 💚🕊❤️#NewYear #Nowruz

A friend and I had a great time visiting the #Nowruz event and other exhibits today at the @MuseumVenturaCo. Thank you!

We used the distance/time & velocity/time simulation in 8th grade physics today. Students were a little frustrated when 1st learning to move the caterpillar. Ultimately they got the hang of it and better understand how to interpret motion graphs. Thank you @Hookean1 👏🏼

When teaching about distance-time graphs and velocity-time graphs, this simulation might be useful, for students to play with. Quite addictive! They need to replicate each graph by moving the caterpillar 🙂gigaphysics.com/graphs_lab.html



Stepped off to the sidewalk so I could film the masses who were there for solidarity with the people of #Iran. Yesterday in Los Angeles, CA 🥰


Thank you @NPProwler! My son came home and was excited about the coverage of #Iran in his school’s newspaper. Thank you 🙏 2022-2023 Issue 2 (Oct. 21) issuu.com/nphspantherpro… via @issuu

Thank you to @IEEE Ventura chapter, @lareina_regents and volunteers for the STEM event for girls on 10/8/22. We very much appreciate this well attended event (heard the orange chicken was fabulous too). #WomenInSTEM

I’m a mom of 2, Iranian, a proud educator, w several students of Iranian descent in my classes. I couldn’t be silent when basic human rights are being violated, & students are being murdered and jailed for speaking up. #Mahsa_Amani #IranProtests

Wonderful 👏🏼 To recruit STEM professionals, the teacher salary needs to be competitive with industry/experience. As someone whose true calling is teaching, it was still discouraging that my compensation was the same as a new teacher who had no prior lab/industry experience.

The National Science Foundation’s Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program has awarded Cal Lutheran up to $1.2 million over five years for a project to encourage STEM majors and professionals to pursue careers in K-12 teaching. bit.ly/3BrOuVS



My honors class took a test last week. One S: “That was easy”. Another S, a musician: “It was only easy because we practiced a lot”. Bingo! Nothing worthwhile comes to us without putting in the time to work for it. If it happens otherwise, it’s an anomaly not an expectation.

I hope by talking about grief and loss more, we could become better @ acknowledging & supporting friends & family @ times when they need it the most. I have learned people seem to vaporize totally or right after the memorial. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #GriefAwarenessDay nationaldaycalendar.com/national-grief…


This story was lovely! Sorry for your recent loss 💐@HaddadSepehr

Yes! remember what you were like at their age! I teach 8th graders, most of whom are taller than me. But they are kids. My mom still packed my lunch in highschool, so 🤷🏻‍♀️ patience.

Wonderful way to bring more meaning to very large and small numbers. Thank you @Hookean1 for sharing.

Physics teachers. A table I stumbled upon which might be useful? #chatphysics
