INSPIRED LEARNING Teachers Keep on Teaching I have a simple mind. I think of anything—say, writing this piece—and within minutes a song with associated lyrics starts playing on my inside jukebox. Right now it’s Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” playing on Radio-Me. You remember that line, “Teachers keep on teaching?” Well, that’s what we help teachers do here at the Pink. Teachers have one of the hardest jobs going. Everyone who doesn’t do it can tell those who do how. And they say there is a crisis in education, too. Of course there is. There always is. Helping kids learn how to thrive in the world is the definition of a crisis—“a time of intense difficulty.“ It also is what grownups do in every generation. We have invested a lot recently to help teachers. We installed 3D and digital capacity in the CTI giant screen theater. That gives us not only 3D, but the ability to quickly and easily show educational movies as “teacher’s choices” on demand. The AutoZone Dome at the Sharpe Planetarium also has added digital capacity. So, the shows are more varied, dynamic and entertaining, as well as more educational. Simply put: two immensely improved learning experiences.

Much more is on the way. In early 2018, we will unveil a completely re-imagined Pink Palace Mansion. We will pioneer a digital docent there that will unlock our rich collections for students, teachers, and the whole community. Then, we will re-do all our exhibits. We‘re planning that now and we are nowhere near done, but I will tell you that I know already our efforts will create a world-class museum. So, teachers, please, please, please keep on teaching. And please let us do all we can to help.

Explore the science of paleontology at the Coon Creek Science Center. Recognized as one of the 10 most important fossil sites in North America, Coon Creek is located on 232 acres in rural McNairy County, about two hours east of Memphis. Over 600 species of marine plants and animals from the Cretaceous period have been excavated from the creek bed. In 1990, a partial mosasaur skeleton (a 25-foot-long marine reptile) was recovered from the site. A second partial mosasaur skeleton was discovered in 2000. Ptero: The Official State Fossil of Tennessee Found in abundance at Coon Creek Science Center, Pterotrigonia thoracica basks in the limelight as the Official State Fossil of Tennessee. Ptero (the fossil’s nickname) is an extinct bivalve that lived 70 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. Ptero’s habitat was the sea floor of the ocean that covered part of what is now West Tennessee.

SIX CONTENT STrands (C) Culture: Culture encompasses similarities and differences among people including their beliefs, knowledge, changes, values and traditions. Students will explore these elements of society to develop an appreciation and respect for the variety of human culture. (E) Economics: Globalization of the economy, explosion of population growth, technological changes and international competition compel students to understand both personally and globally production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Students will examine and analyze concepts such as basic needs versus wants, using versus saving money, and policy-making versus decision-making. (G) Geography: Geography enables the students to see, understand and appreciate the web of relationships between people, places and environments. Students use the knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts within the six essential elements of geography: world in spatial terms, places and regions, physical systems, human systems, environment and society, and the uses of geography. (H) History: History involves people, events and issues. Students will evaluate evidence to develop comparative and causal analyses, and to interpret primary sources. They will construct sound historical arguments and perspectives on which informed decisions in contemporary life can be based. (P) Governance, Civics and Politics: Governance, establishes structures of power and authority in order to provide order and stability. Civic efficacy requires understanding rights and responsibilities, ethical behavior, and the role of citizens within their community, nation and world. (TN) Tennessee Connection: Tennessee has a unique story and provides a more intimate view of the past in our present lives.
