Today, sixty days after being laid off by JPL, my severance pay and insurance coverage expire. At JPL, I did engineering ops for the Curiosity Rover 🚀. Before that, I studied entrepreneurship and management at Stanford. Please reskeet this so I can make new connections and find new opportunities 🤠

This is going to be so much fun. @scifri.bsky.social is the best for hosting us! We love working together and we keep getting better!

I’m so excited. I have just finished a virtual coaching cycle where I saw amazing measurable change in teaching practices that led to more student success.Thanks #Sibme for tools and resources to guide this teacher. Professional development teachers look forward to each week.

Getting ready to blog again. Went back to some past blogs &it is clear people are still engaging w/ them even though I was not. I am reflecting on some of my more popular blogs & want to reshare this one. I am bringing back the Nevermind Strategy. #iteachmath burnsmath.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-...
