About me
TJ is the author of Making Sense of Sensemaking: Designing Authentic K–12 STEM Learning Experiences and directs the Center for STEM Professional Learning at Scale at Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development, where he is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Science Education and helps lead the AI and Education Initiative. He has spent 20+ years as a scientist, educator, and science communicator figuring out what works in STEM education and how to scale it, from classrooms and science centers to statewide professional learning. He is also the creator of ngssphenomena.com and builds free tools that help teachers turn everyday phenomena into science units. Talk to him about: phenomena hiding in plain sight in your community, making sensemaking work in rural schools and on real schedules, AI in the science classroom, squirrels, bugs, and doing hard things to make anything else seem easy (triathalongs, ultramarathons, his charity foundation).
