Eric Robinson is a physics teacher at Herbert Hoover High School in Glendale, CA. His dive into Modeling Instruction explains concisely how instruction (especially science) can be improved. From modelinginstruction.org, "Modeling Instruction is a guided-inquiry approach to teaching science that organizes instruction around the handful of conceptual models that form the content core of the scientific disciplines. This method provides a framework for science instruction that approximates how scientists 'do science.'"
Eric is also a member of the 1st class of Vernier Trendsetters Community. The group offers educators a forum to enhance their teaching skills, specifically through the use of Vernier data-collection technology, and to engage in meaningful collaboration with like-minded leading STEM educators. These Vernier Trendsetter Community members have the opportunity to provide and participate in professional development, collaborate on content with Vernier, provide feedback on programming and upcoming products, and more.
For more than 40 years, Vernier Science Education has been committed to using experience, knowledge, and passion to create some of the best and most reliable solutions for STEM education. Their solutions include hardware, software, content, assessment, professional development, and technical support.
