🖤 For Black History Month, join us in celebrating the first Black classical music composer in France: Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges.
Inspired by the incredible true story of Bologne in 18th century France, Disney's Chevalier takes place during the lead up to the French Revolution. The film sheds light on the realities of France at this time and can ignite student interest in learning more about the French Revolution as well as this remarkable historical figure.
Our free Chevalier Discussion Guide also explores Bologne's legacy; Beginnings, Opportunity, and Excellence; and Race and Identity. For grades 11-12, adult/higher ed.
🔔 This is also a great film for Music in Our Schools Month in March!

Wanted: open data suitable for a data science project!
Every year, we ask our students 2nd bach to do a project. We give them a (big) dataset (preferably in JSON or a bunch of files combined), ask some research question, and ask them to perform data cleaning and exploration related to that question using #Rstats.
I've used most obvious choices, so I'm turning to Fedi to find new, interesting datasets. If you have no idea, sharing helps too!

Happy birthday to astronaut, author, professional football player, and STEM educator Leland Melvin, born on this day in 1964.
He's also one of the stellar cast of astronauts featured in National Geographic's series One Strange Rock, which tells the story of Earth’s history from a planetary perspective. (Plus he has one of the greatest official work photos of all time!)
Within our solar system, planet Earth is utterly unique among the planets, moons, and dwarf planets found there. Only Earth has a breathable atmosphere, the ability to “heal” itself following planetary bombardment in its early history and more recent “extinction events,” and large amounts of liquid water on its surface.
We offer free lessons plans for this series to teach in science, English and history classes.
It's a great cross-curriculum teaching tool for Earth Month!
