My prediction for 2026: more drawing & designing with circles ;-) #teaching #drawing #geometry #homeschooling

Learning to design with a compass & straight edge, and to draw with a razor too - so impressed with these very capable and imaginative sixth graders! #MiddleSchool #ArtClass #TeachingArt #Drawing #Design

Drawing with charcoal in tenth grade: great work from a fine group of students in a beautiful new studio space !! #drawing #teaching #art #HighSchoolArt #StudentArt #YouthArt #ArtEducation

@Doug_Lemov this was a great training btw, posting a belated thanks here as I reflect back on '25!

Sunset over the GWB. See you tmrw if you’re joining us for our Science of Learning training.

@rpondiscio @DavidDidau "Quality Control" matters in Education - it's a shame that schools so often shy away from this term & concept...

I've said this for years. Just not as well as @DavidDidau says it here. open.substack.com/pub/daviddidau…

I just backed Neon Wizard & House of Shadows: Pinball by PinBox 3000 on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/pinbo…

This brilliant teacher @Metacog1 is having a BIG impact on my teaching post #Covid - check out a.co/d/6pHoxYe & a.co/d/2PtIK6g - can't believe nobody in my circle was following her, wish I'd read these books YEARS AGO !! #Steam #makered #CompSci #teachingideas

@KarenBlumberg @BrearleyNYC these were tasty, well done Karen!

This brilliant teacher @Metacog1 is having a BIG impact on my teaching @BrearleyNYC this year post #Covid - check out a.co/d/6pHoxYe for the big picture of thriving academically in #College & a.co/d/2PtIK6g for #HighSchool (I'm even adapting it to #MiddleSchool)

Excited to fire up @glowforge for Class V Computer Education students @BrearleyNYC !! We have a new trimester course that maximizes hands-on #ComputerScience this year, thanks to @workplacehobo for the support & @KarenBlumberg for the hardware savvy! #STEAM #MakerEd #lasercutting

Cooking up new ideas during our 1st uninterrupted year in "The Idea Kitchen" @BrearleyNYC - it's one of our "Innovation Hubs" for #MakerEd #STEAM...so of course we have #3dprinting...but who can compete w/ language teachers cooking w/ students? #Tortilleria time in Class VIII !!

These look amazing !!

for future reference...

In Ms. Javens and Mr. Cicala's XI/XII Studio Art, student artists are learning how to life cast their own hands for their still life painting and drawing compositions. #brearleyschool

@KarenBlumberg @BrearleyNYC @ScrappyCircuits So cool !!

@joshburker @MarymountNY Very Cool - I love the screen-free "Turtle" graphics here!

Exemplary design based on a rotating polygon programmed and fabricated by Class VII student @MarymountNY. #art #math #programming

Haven't posted to @Twitter in ages...#Goodluck @elonmusk...& Proud to be the 3,055th 😎 on @BackerKit for Foundations of Rome: Roads of Fortune and Second Printing. Thanks @arcanewonders foundationsofrome.backerkit.com/community_shar…

The race is on to #3dprint all of the Class IV Studio Art "Snowflakes" so these lovely examples of #creativecoding can go home for summer! All coded in @BlocksCAD and printed on our @Ultimaker in "The Idea Kitchen" Innovation Hub here at @BrearleyNYC.

Brearley had the distinct honor of welcoming back to Ms. Meredith Bergmann, sculptor of the Women's Rights Pioneers Monument, and Brearley parent, Namita Luthra to our Class III classroom as they wrapped up their suffrage unit. #brearleyschool

@KarenBlumberg @BrearleyNYC I'm loving all the collaboration here @BrearleyNYC !!
