So proud to be a New Mexico teacher!

We're excited to announce the 15th cohort of Grosvenor Teacher Fellows! These 50 educators will explore the world with us, from #Antarctica to the #Arctic & beyond. This once-in-a-lifetime experience will positively influence their students for years to come. @NatGeoEducation

I feel like there's ONE piece of advice I want to give people who want to create interactive meetings/sessions (esp online, but even f2f) and it's to harness those first 5-10 minutes by giving people an opportunity to interact and be themselves, not focusing them on yourself

Here's how a group of Explorers and other contributors are inspiring change through the Constructive Visions project—and how educators and students can be catalysts for change in your own communities. @wendi322 @mudskippermuses @nunezlendo on.natgeo.org/6018Mnqly

@dreamathchick Thank you!

Think about using satellite imagery as a tool for helping students take environmental action! ⁦@ms_hansen⁩ ⁦@karinamay_reyes⁩ ⁦@owensscience⁩ ⁦@kellkoll⁩ ⁦@EarthriseEdu⁩ ⁦@NatGeoEducation⁩ blog.education.nationalgeographic.org/2022/08/11/how…

Worst piece of advice I ever heard as an educator was to be “really strict” on the first days of school. It sent the completely wrong message to my students. Build rapport with students before telling them what to do. Otherwise, they won’t buy-in.

All my student desks have check in and check out QR codes and feel wheels! We need to know how our Ss are doing when they walk in and out. As an adult there are times struggle with explaining my feelings, Ss do too. The feel wheel helps!

Amid all the demands to take down Gay Pride/ rainbow flags in classrooms, I decided to dig into the history a little. FL teaching peeps, hang this on your walls—it’s educational! #history #rainbows #gaypride #explore #visualimpact
