Workshop just wrapped in Berwyn, IL and it was everything. 🎉 #STEMteachers spent 3-days as students: buoyancy boats, bowling balls in free fall, and aligned pedagogy & practice all the way through. 🎳⛵ Ready for a 2027 return? Drop a reply. #AMTATeachers #ModelingInstruction #ModelingintheWild
"If I Don't Get to Do This..." The end of that sentence can take you through a roller coaster of emotions. Hear what admin support can sound like in Ep 80 of our Science Modeling Talks podcast and find a summer 2026 option for you! Link in bio. #modelinginstruction #AMTATeachers #STEM
The ONLY Chem II Modeling Instruction™ workshop available this summer is @weberstate.bsky.social in Utah. July 6–17. This is your chance in summer 2026. Grab it! 🧪 bit.ly/Chem2inUtah #ModelingInstruction #AMTATeachers #modchem #Chem2 #ScienceEducation #STEMEd #WeberState #Utah #SummerPD
It's workshop season! 🔍🔬🧪📡 That time of year when teachers become students again, classrooms become labs, and educators from across the country find out they've been solving the same problems all along. AMTA makes that happen. $5/month keeps it going. Drive for $5 → givebutter.com/support-amta...
Science education is richer when every part of who we are is welcomed in the room. Culture. Race. Gender. Sexuality. Faith. Heritage. Professional identity. The intersections between all of those things. True everyday. Happy Pride Month from AMTA! 🌈💙 #PrideMonth #AMTATeachers #ModelingInstruction

Quiero café. Con pan. ☕ 🥐 Same energy for this Saturday honestly. AMTA Morning Coffee Hour: May 9th, 11 AM ET ☕ Come hang w/ the science teacher community as we close out the school year together this May and June. bit.ly/AMTACoffeeHour #ModelingInstruction #AMTACoffeeHour #ScienceTeachers
We promised teacher appreciation gifts this week. 🎁 Then we looked at what we had planned and thought: our teachers deserve more.So we went bigger. Friday we're dropping multiple thank-you offers, plus more this summer. Details Friday. Follow along. 💙 #TeacherAppreciationWeek #ModelingInstruction
Teaching is more than a job. It's an identity. 💙 Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to every science educator in the AMTA community. You showed up for your students this year, and we see you. Thank you. Today and every day. #TeacherAppreciationWeek #ModelingInstruction #ScienceTeachers #ThankATeacher
Summer 2026 workshops are open! bit.ly/AMTASumWksps... If you’re new to modeling pedagogy, come check it out. If you already call yourself a modeler, refer or bring someone new to a workshop. 💡⚛️🔭🧬🔬🧪 #ModelingInstruction #AMTATeachers #modphys #modchem #modbio #modsci
The Science Modeling Talks podcast just released 🎧 Ep. 80 w/ an academic dean, not a teacher, talking about why her school went all-in on Modeling Instruction for students with learning differences. Permission to grow. That's the whole culture. Summer workshops: bit.ly/AMTASumWksps... |
#EarthDay2026 appreciation for #scienceteachers using Modeling Instruction: You're not just teaching #STEM. You're building students who understand the systems that keep this planet alive, and that's everything. 🌍 Thank you! #AMTATeachers #modelinginstruction ➡️ SumPD: bit.ly/AMTASumWksps2026
