Kayla Kutemeier
[…]wonderful way of looking at the natural world, and ought to be accessible to anyone capable of asking questions of ‘how’ and ‘why.’ As a teacher, it is my goal and challenge to uncover that capability within each student.” Kayla’s Story The curiosity of a scientist and the careful work of a teacher have been part of Kayla for as long as she can remember.

The Machines Around Us
[…]the regional teacher observation group I helped organize helped me appreciate the importance of working with “machines.” How I came to see the machines around me Sometimes, the work of a group is reliant upon the superhuman efforts of a few individuals manually catching every ball in the air and tying each loose end. There is no defined process; it is just “Alex’s thing.” Nobody really knows how he does it, but thank goodness he does!

[…]in general. In PD sessions like the one I described above, we teachers are expected to learn “new knowledge” and incorporate it into our work. PD in this sense is a form of filling in the gaps or adding new practices, so-called “additive PD.” Additive PD leads to an emotional response: an overwhelming feeling of needing to do more and profound insecurity about what to actually do.

Integrated STEM instruction as a transformative PD experience In contrast to additive PD, […]

Sparking Change: Equity Initiatives in a Liberal Arts Charter School
[…]that in the past she probably would have let the inappropriate comment slide because she was not comfortable addressing it. Now she felt encouraged by what we were doing in Socius Club. Another positive outcome was when a colleague shared a concern about the lack of diversity on the senior thesis curriculum. He noted that nearly all of the authors—as well as the main characters—in the books our seniors read were male. This led to a discussion on opportunities to include more female voices in the curriculum and ultimately led us to switch out one of the books and replace […]
