We have 8+ years of experience teaching and tutoring at the middle and high school levels, teaching various levels of physics and mathematics while also tutoring in biology, chemistry, and more. Our lead curriculum writer, Cris, has worked on creating a modeling-friendly conceptual physics course, accounting for limited algebraic skills and engaging in the NGSS Scientific Practices.
Each Equation Toolbox contains any and all basic equations that may be used during problem-solving. There are also examples of different models, including graphs, motion maps, and diagrams that students can reference as entry points when problem-solving. These have proven to be useful tools for students to use when completing homework and assessments. 01 - Scientific ThinkingSlope-intercept form of a lineCalculating slope three different waysHow to label, scale, and read a linear graphDensity, m

Each Curriculum Guide includes a Unit Overview document and a Student Self Assessment document. This is an excellent way to communicate to students what content will be covered in the unit, when it will be covered, and what learning targets they are expected to master. The Unit Overview contains the following: Front PageTopics coveredAssessments (with tentative dates that you can modify)Document Order/List (useful for conducting quick and efficient binder checks)Equations used in the unitBack Pa

Teaching style
Our resources align with several research-proven, highly successful pedagogical approaches, including Modeling Instruction, Patterns Approach to Physics, Question Formulation Technique, Complex Instruction, Constructivism, NGSS Inquiry, etc.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Our lead curriculum writer Cris was named Outstanding Graduate from North Central College (‘16) in Secondary Education while majoring in Physics and minoring in Mathematics. In 2017, fe was awarded a Knowles Teacher Initiative Fellowship, regularly engaging in professional development with some of the top STEM teachers across the country. He has also been awarded the Aristotle Teacher of the Year Award at Golden View Classical Academy.
