The greatest achievement by climate change deniers has been fooling the #scicomm community into wasting much time, effort & resources on an unmovable fringe constituency--time, effort & resources that would have better been spent bringing along the "confused middle" & concerned.

While I don’t always agree with Malcolm X, he was an exceptional orator. This is one of my favorite speeches where he discusses the importance of empowering your community. open.spotify.com/track/3DwMkI5G…

Implementing a culturally responsive curriculum goes beyond hanging up posters and revising test questions. Teachers must move on from the Eurocentric historical narrative that’s traditionally dominated education. #bethemodel #innov8dmps twitter.com/mrpattersoncms…

We are learning about how Virunga National Park rangers protect endangered mountain gorillas 🦍. Later this week, students are going to come up with ways that they can help bring about meaning change in the eastern Congo!

The noise level of a class during an assessment can provide insight to whether students feel that they are part of a community. I’m proud of the work that we have accomplished so far this year! #bethemodel #innov8dmps twitter.com/mrpattersoncms…

Students explained and connected different historical concepts through writing aka we had a quiz! Infinite Campus will be updated over the weekend. #lockedin #focusedfriday

Students of color should see themselves and their values represented in the curriculum. #bethemodel #innov8dmps twitter.com/mrpattersoncms…

We played a game called Muggles and Wizards. Tomorrow, we will make real world connections and discuss who won/lost!

I always change the background on my EPSON projector to an upcoming “aha” moment. It’s a great way to shape classroom conversations!🇨🇩

A student drew a picture of me patiently waiting for the class to meet expectations. I said next time, please don’t forget my 💪🏼! 😂

When comparing different maps/documents, the colors HAVE to be consistent! Yellow = 🇫🇷, Pink = 🇬🇧, etc... twitter.com/mrpattersoncms…

Students compared and contrasted thematic maps to understand the impact of colonization! We also practiced using OneNote to submit 📝!

6thblock is living up to our class motto: We don't expect perfection, we expect that today is better than yesterday. #bethemodel #innov8dmps twitter.com/mrpattersoncms…
Mr. Patterson@MrPattersonCMS
We are creating thematic maps of Africa so we can make inferences about the impact of European colonization!

@isaiahmcgee 3) You see this when the media spends more time covering isolated cases of looting while ignoring largely peaceful and justified protests.
English
@isaiahmcgee 2)With that being said, traditionally marginalized groups usually have social institutions, likethe media, working to descredit their voices

Every afternoon this student makes my day more than she will ever know. She wntd more room to work and this was our "camping" compromise. 😂
English
@isaiahmcgee The nature of protests is that there isn't consensus. A side will always try to undermine the opposition by discrediting their methods.

Choose a job that you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life! #innov8dmps #bethemodel

I didn't set any expectations concerning volume during work time! Silence isn't the goal, but it was great to see everyone so focused! twitter.com/mrpattersoncms…

We continued to learn about Mansa Musa by identifying relevant text evidence. Block 2 was in mid-year form this morning! 😊
