Oh, now I see the link. Wow.

Yes???

Towamencin Democrats have a new blog www.facebook.com/share/p/19Jw...

I often feel guilty for not doing enough.

It is mental health awareness month. Right now, all of us are taking a mental health hit. What are you doing for your own mental health, the mental health of others? How can this community support you?

He can take questions to stop talking but he cannot sit,lean or leave the floor.

If you are looking for ways to bring real research and data into your classroom, we have 140 free resources written by scientists who share their story and experiences in STEM! 🧪

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

Exactly. And let's not forget how much more expensive being poor is. For instance, sneakers. Buy them cheap because that is what you can afford, you end up having to buy much more often, and end up spending so much more in the end. Money you don't have. Or don't and end up with health issues.

She might not know the answer, but we are not born knowing the answers. We need educators,need to experiment, etc. Too many students have curiosity deficit and would not think twice about it, but let's shame the one who does? No. Just because ancient Parisians figured it out, did not mean she did.

Yeah, I don't understand the "We're cooked" attitude when it comes to this video. As a science teacher, I was thrilled when I saw the video. Why? She is asking the question. The first step of the scientific method. She is curious. 1/2

Would be interested in helping fleshing these out a bit more. Important to come up with direct vision on policy and ensure the specific rights and people that won't be sold down the river in the name of negotiation.

The big problem is that this lack of time spent with others, leads to each to erosion of community, the lack of understanding of those different than ourselves and challenges/ joys, an entrenchment, and an lack of knowledge on how to organize community to action effectively.

There are many reasons for this. Increased cost of being out. A real lack of second spaces available at no to low cost for teens and young adults to go. Lack of community building activity. Fear. Exhaustion from the never ending cycle rat race many of us are on

How can we support you?

But local action? This can give you hope. You can see the outcome, up close and personal. You have a direct connection to the work. Your impact is felt, and the impact on you fuels you. Not to say we should not also think nationally and internationally, but sustain through local action.

I keep coming back to a quote from Greta Thunberg. "Once we start to act, hope is everywhere. So instead of looking for hope - look for action. Then and only then hope will come." Hope is active. We must cultivate it. It is hard to see on a national scale where we are just one against a tsunami.

The guide I use when planning a lesson is not what do I want them to know but what skills do I want them to come out of the lesson with. Because I know the skills depend on the strong foundation of knowledge, but knowledge is not dependent on skill. #sunchat

Yes. I think they think the time it takes eliminates the breadth they would otherwise cover.

Share away. I can share materials that I am currently modifying as well when I am done modifying them.

I am writing an entire environmental engineering course for next year that is all problem and project based. #sunchar

With my environmental science class.

In several cases I have been asked by colleagues what the value of these assignments are. #sunchat

Another is the design of a passive solar home. Students pick materials based on properties of the materials, build the home according to passive design standards, and then test for effectiveness #sunchat

They can see the difficulty of climate policy but the necessity of it, and have come up with some amazing negotiations for cooperation. #sunchat

There are two I have. One is a climate summit where students have to represent a country in the world, understand how that country is impacted by climate change and climate policy, and then come to an agreement on what technologies they would employ and how they would accomplish promises. #sunchat

I love this.

Thanks. I think my favorites are any projects where students have to empty skills to develop something. Both science skills and the soft skills that are necessary to succeed out there in the real world jobs #sunchat

Important conversation. As a teacher, and someone who values community, this is a real issue. Rugged individualism and retreating to our own spaces has been normalized. Online community, while can be important, does not eliminate the need for face to face collectivism. So, how do we teach that ?

But there are those out there that have built community, whether that be spiritual, political, or around an interest. Leadership looks like guided practice in what strong communities look like. Shared vision, with execution of plans methodically and with times to rest to avoid burnout
