From our homes to yours, we wish you the happiest of the holiday season from the #Einsteinfellows23

@AEF_Program A3: Programs like #EinsteinFellows23 that lift up educators are a fantastic way to make our voices more powerful.

Q3: Leaders need to create a culture where teacher feedback is encouraged, and educators need to advocate for computer science at the local, state and federal level. How do we empower educators to ensure their voice is heard in the decision making process? #EinsteinFellows23

@AEF_Program A2: STEM work needs to feel real for students. Connect them to authentic experiences and relevant ideas to make them realize the importance of developing their science and engineering skills!

The intersectionality of identity is an important piece in creating a more equitable learning experience in CS classrooms and can provide more socially just outcomes. What strategies support the development of positive #STEM identities in students and adults? #EinsteinFellows23

@AEF_Program Q1: Shout out to my former colleague and current superstar @JoeSantiagoEDU, who supports both students and teachers in their computer science journeys with patience, humor, and awesome DJ skills. #EinsteinFellows23

Q1: Who inspires you? Tag someone to shine a light and recognize those whose work has contributed and harnessed the good in computer science. #EinsteinFellows23

@AEF_Program Hi, I’m Sarah, #EinsteinFellows23 at #USGS_YES. Most of my science reading has focused on understanding the natural world and how it changes over time. Love to see the diversity of resources related to computer science for students of all ages!

Intro: Introduce yourself and tag your favorite author for #computerscience resources #unplugged #EinsteinFellows23

@Amy__Ski @BillionOyster Great call- plus #BillionsOyster throws one of the world's greatest parties every year!

A3: The Martian is an incredible story of hope, persistence, resourcefulness, and perseverance, as well as one rooted in the wonder and thrill of innovation and exploration. Plus it includes my favorite movie line ever. Apologies for the curse. @MartianMovie #EinsteinFellows23

@MathforAmerica @PolarTREC @FundforTeachers @NationalSCF

A2: So many incredible #STEM learning opportunities have helped me grow in my knowledge and practice, as well as improved my enthusiasm for teaching. Showing kids what you love about science helps them see what they could love about science. #EinsteinFellows23

Q1: My all time favorite children’s book to read with my 8th graders is Dr. Suess’s The Lorax. I love how it ends with a message of hope and empowerment- you’re in charge of the last of the Truffula seeds and Truffula trees are what everyone needs. #EinsteinFellows23

@pjjoslyn I didn't know this book existed- thanks for the tip, Pam! #EinsteinFellows23

Intro: There is no better video to demonstrate the wonders and joys of being a scientist than this one. @JaneGoodallInst #Einsteinfellows23 youtube.com/watch?v=bCVmfD…

It is exciting to see the swell building- more teachers need to bring climate education into their classrooms: Shedding light on a crisis uft.org/news/teaching/… @nycschoolsustainability #EinsteinFellows23

#NationalSTEMScholars & middle school science teachers - mini grants are available to help you get started as an @ecybermission Team Advisor for your classroom or school. Applications close Nov 16, 2023! #STEM #STEMeducation @GattonAcademy @GiftedStudies ow.ly/ubkr50PN0Qw

So much fun checking out some rate books at the Library of Congress with #EinsteinFellows23

A3: I’d love to be a science instructional coach, supporting other teachers as they develop effective strategies for building the next generation of scientists and engineers in their classrooms. #EinsteinFellows23

A2: I believe, as a leader, it is more important to be likable than it is to be liked. #EinsteinFellows23

A1: One lesson I’ve learned about leading others is that everyone needs a place at the table. Find a way to show every member of the team that they are an essential part of the team. #EinsteinFellows23
