Brain-Based Learning Job

#justbecauseyoushouldknow, #mathiswhereitsat, #pieedu, 21st Century Learning, Brain-based Research

Aloha, Eric Jensen here.

Recently, my wife’s mom has had some serious health issues. It has got us (that would be myself and my wife, Diane) to think a great deal about our health and our future plans.

One thing I would LOVE to do is find people who really want to do what I do. Yes, I LOVE doing my job, but it is time to be looking for the next generation of fresh faces.

That’s right; do amazing summer trainings for large groups to help both individuals and schools boost student learning. 

Actually, you would have to more than WANT to do it. You would have to SERIOUSLY want it. Maybe you have already been building your career ladder so that you CAN do it. You would have to be COMMITTED enough to jump through the hoops to be READY to do it. You would have to have the RESOURCES (time, money and family support) to actually make it happen. 

If I have described you, maybe it is time to make your move. Please complete the online application so I know you are “out there” and be ready for your next move.

Thank you.

With gratitude, 

Eric Jensen, Ph.D.

The Map of Mathematics

#justbecauseyoushouldknow, #mathiswhereitsat, #pieedu, Educational Resources, Engineering, Math Resources, Science, Videos and Podcasts

As I was cruising through youtube, I found this incredible video that maps out the beginning of mathematics through how it is applied.  I would love to sit down and speak with this guy, Dominic Walliman.  You will see the connections of science, technology, engineering and more.  What an incredible overview.  Enjoy!  ~Sandy

We had 15 teams for MathCounts this year! This was the largest group ever and the most teams ever! It was a great day. It went longer than usual (due to so many teams), and everyone enjoyed it! I’ve attached pictures of the first place team and top 5 individuals. El Portal Elementary from the Mariposa area came for the first time and moved quickly to 3rd place (quite the upset!)

The top 6 teams were:

1st—Granite Ridge

2nd__ Clark Intermediate

3rd—El Portal Elementary

4th—Edison Computech

The top 10 individuals were:

1st—Jai Mehrotra-Varma(Granite Ridge)

2nd—Tyler Ho (Clark)

3rd—Luke Chao (Granite Ridge)

4th—Andrew Lu (Alta Sierra)

5th—Weehan Choi (Granite Ridge)

6th—Deepro Pasha (Granite Ridge)

7th—Iris Wang (Granite Ridge)

8th—Nipun Amarasingh (Alta Sierra)

The top 2 teams qualify to go to the state competition so congratulations to Granite Ridge and Clark Intermediate!

The top 3 individuals not on a winning team also qualify to go to state so congratulations to Andrew Lu, Nipun Amarasingh, and Pratham Hombal all from Alta Sierra!

Thanks for Jon Dueck and Fresno County Office of Education for taking time to prepare this math competition for students!
