I am looking forward to the start of my Modeling in Physics class on Thursday!
After early retirement from a powertrain engineering career I have reinvested my life as a physics teacher. Starting with long term subbing led to part time and now full time teacher positions. It has been an enriching experience! Early on I was advised to join the DMAPT (Detroit Metropolitan Area Physics Teachers). Wow, what a powerhouse of gifted teachers! This has connected me with wonderfully talented teachers in the organization and beyond through Twitter and a few blogs.
A reoccurring topic at our DMAPT meetings has been Modeling as a teaching method. While I have tried to infuse my interpretation of inquiry-based learning into my teaching I realize I have much to learn. I love to learn and want to pass that on to all of my students. I am convinced that Modeling will be a giant step in that direction. Can't wait for Thursday!
