Meeting This Saturday

TAPT,

Just a note about our Saturday meeting. It’s this week, November 11, and we’ll meet at J.D. house [please use contact form for address]. We’ll meet at 8:30 for potluck breakfast - bring something to share if you can, if not, it’s fine.

We have two subjects:

JD will lead a discussion about the new neutron star - gravitational waves results. So if you have questions or want to know more, here’s your chance. If you’ve looked at a particularly good website, you can share that.

We will spend most time sharing good practices for pacing in physics class - for all levels of physics. Helen Reynolds has written a high-school textbook, and she has some thoughts about how to get all the material in - when to stop and move on, etc. We hope people will bring their own schedules and best ideas for reaching competency but also moving forward. It’s always a big question for Modeling, AP, Honors, and satisfying NGSS. 

Please join us! Professional Development hours will be available. Hope to see you there!

Best,

Karie
