The congrats go strictly to the filmmakers and producers and writers - I'm on the education team and cannot take any credit for the amazingness of the film! Carlton Ward and his team just created something so stunning and relevant. Here is the activity list (often interdisciplinary and free!):
Path of the Panther has won two Emmy Awards so just wanted to share that we created education guides full of activities for all age groups (my work is HS/HE). Great for #biology#environmentalscipathofthepather.com#AcademicSky
I love that these recommendations based on evidence have been formalized into the lecture. It makes me feel like the few minutes of lecture time and LMS space I've given to it is not enough and I should expand in future semesters.
I'm working on redesigning the lab curriculum to try to empower students to be able to work/learn more independently. Right now I have to be "on" and actively teaching the entire time. A better lab manual would really help, so I guess I'm writing a new one in my free time. lol.
I have 75 min lecture immediately followed by 2.5 hour anatomy lab every day and when it's over I could literally go to bed until the next day. I feel ya! :-)
If only there were these advanced technologies that allowed us to teach remotely so everyone could be present and not be out on the roads in dangerous conditions. But alas, that would be considered canceling class and required me to use PTO. Sigh.
Today and tomorrow will be very windy and heavy rainstorms as bands of Helene move across our area. Not enough to close the college but enough to make it dangerous/stressful traveling between campuses and leading to many S absences. We have lab practicals this week. #AcademicSky 🍎
We are required to provide a Schedule of Activities with all assignments/assessments & due dates at start of the semester. Sat night I received S email saying "I'm on a cruise, can you just open these tests for me when I get back in a couple of weeks?" If only college gave 3 months for vacays...🤦

And then they'll enter the FL college system wanting to be nurses but can't pass my intro anatomy & physiology class because they have no basic science or anatomy knowledge. College is meant to BUILD on HS, we can't be the lone source of skill and content knowledge. Anatomy shouldn't be a crime.
"Florida has told school districts around the state that they may not teach teenagers about contraception, show them pictures depicting human reproductive anatomy..." “emphasize abstinence” I have never seen a state so eager to travel back in time.
Orange and Broward schools have now decided to abandon efforts to teach their own, more extensive sex education curriculum.
