Welcome to Physics With McP! Looking at destreaming science or thinking classrooms? Want to try gradeless assessments? Here's your one stop shop to helping you in the classroom!
My classroom practices are aimed primarily at physics and science teaching (specifically the Ontario curriculum) but many of these principals; like using thinking classrooms in a destreamed program or gradeless assessments really work in any subject! Feel free to click below to find what you are looking for.
In my first year of teaching my students started calling me McP and it stuck! I have been teaching in Ontario for over 10 years now and I started teaching in math but teaching science is my true passion and where I find I truly shine. I tend to be an early adopter and due to my engineering background I am always looking for ways to better the learning of my students. I'm always happy to chat about anything regarding physics education! Send me a tweet @physicswithmcp or you'll find me on Instagram using @physicswithmcp too.
I'm the current VP of the OAPT (Ontario Association of Physics Teachers) and longtime member of Perimeter Institute's Teacher Network. If you have not heard of either of these organizations I suggest they be your next step after this website :D I also love expanding my knowledge of physics and have been privileged to attend teacher workshops at SnoLab, PI, CLS (Canada LightSource)... and CERN!!!!! Next stop, LIGO or Fermi?!?!
