i am doing my best to continue broadcasting what i apply for BEFORE the deadlines (might hurt my own chances but "a rising tide"? or something) SO... i'm currently looking at applying for the arctic educator fellowship described here: polarsteam.info/faq/ more opps: wwcs.padlet.org/amstutzjoshu...

screenshot of the section "Educator FAQs" from the link; the first header ("Do I need to be a classroom teacher to participate?") is viewable

A lovely read ahead of #TheGradingConference in a few weeks. I especially loved "a bunch of quantitative legalese masquerading as pedagogy" as a turn of phrase—perhaps because it so accurately describes where I, and probably many others, started.

Hey west coast math friends, Do I know anyone in Sacramento, Chico, Redding, Eugene, or Portland? I’m planning a solo trip up to WA in a moving van next month and I’d love to make a couple stops along the way.

Educational research funded by the NSF is a threat to authoritarianism and plutocracy. Our work details how to shift schools away from being sites of social reproduction to places of care, social mobility, critical citizenship, and liberation.

I do believe that is helpful, but it doesn't match the alien kindergartner's learning progression 😁

Nolan Fossum (he/him) @nolanfossum.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

So far, the most fun I had was saying "well, in alien math they don't have base-10 blocks. Instead, they have base-10 blocks." 🤣

As a fun Friday math activity, we are doing some Alien math. Teacher friends, I offered this slide to generate some thinking with their first task of writing the first 100 numbers. Would you say the two sentences are correct?

Image shows two alien-style hands, each with three fingers.
Title: Alien Math Hints
"The first ten alien math numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
The first 10 alien math numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10"
