@AliciaJohal Haha, yup... Story of my life. "Tie-uh"? Nope.. "Taye-uh"

Happy Love Day from my students ❤️

Two of my Ss came to me last week and asked: "Can we teach a lesson to the class?" Today they came in during my prep and built a list of things to consider prior to planning the lesson. There's no better way to learn than to teach someone else! Next level. @hightechhigh

@RWalkTheWalk 😱😱😱👍

Trying a new thing this semester: mini exhibitions. Every 3 weeks we bring our students & parents together for Cafe Nights where S share their learning & creative products around our theme of “Inner Space: The Worlds Inside Ourselves”. Poetry, art, community... So far a success!

When you shake your students' hands every day like a professional, but the germs nearly kill you 😔 #teacherlife

@MrStrong3rd Awesome!! Keep the pictures coming, I'd love to follow all that y'all are doing! :)

Day one of #SemesterAzul was rad. Ss wonder and take us along for the ride. #placebasededucation

What does math look like in #PBL? This: Students working on rich mathematical tasks, leading discussions, making connects from previous concepts, sharing their ideas with their peers, and exhibiting work... daily! #mtbos #hthmath #iteachmath @hightechhigh

Thank you @CasaCornelia and @hightechhigh! This intersession has forever changed our lives. We walk with a purpose ❤️

It really amazes me: even the most innovative and progressive schools can still perpetuate an authoritarian style structure that punishes students' efforts, instead of rewarding their accomplishments. #Disappointing #TimeForChange

The toughest kiddos at school; hiked through rain, hail and snow!! 💪🌧️

You know you've provided a monumental experience for students when you overhear them nonstop talking about it ❤️ Love my job. @hightechhigh

These views 😍

Mile 26, these kiddos are killin' it! @hightechhigh @CasaCornelia

Day 1, mile 0.

Today I taught a miniature version of a Wilderness First Responder course to prepare Ss for our trek. Tomorrow I get to do the 3 things I'm most passionate about: eduate students, backpack, and promote social justice. Follow our journey on IG: @100degreesoffreedom @hightechhigh

@mathillustrated Yesss!

"When Ts fail to include math problems that help students confront important global issues... these are political choices, whether the teachers recognize them as such or not." Rethinking Mathematics Teaching Social Justice by the Numbers @MsTayaChase #iteachmath

I couldn't be more grateful to @Adventure16SD's Donate-A-Pack Foundation. They just made it possible for all my students to experience a life-changing journey in the outdoors, backpacking 100 miles. My heart is smiling.

Apparently this exists in Northern CA!!! 😱 2019 spring project @hightechhigh?!

@ericjuli @hightechhigh @kalebrashad 29 degrees??! 😱 Brrrrr! Stay warm!

@MsTayaChase @hightechhigh My son and I just watched this...twice, from Cleveland, in the snow, and ice, in 29 degree weather, and it made us laugh. Thanks-We hope it rains again in the next year or so, so you can all experience this joy again @kalebrashad #itsrainingitspouringtheoldmanissnoring

When it rains in San Diego and you let your students out to soak up those precious droplets the last few minutes of class ❤️ @hightechhigh
