An oak leaf snow wind = nature-made circles. A student shared this with me today, and I am happy she gave me permission to share!Students needed some time outdoors to enjoy the snow. #nvalleyed
Grateful for the opportunity to share what we have learned from each other, @learningandtheb and works by @joboaler@DrDanSiegel @marcbrackett and Robert Sapolsky. Thanks for pushing our thinking around what makes us limitless, integrated, and resilient.
Thank you to @ALajinian and Dr. Lovelace for thoughtfully sharing such relevant and timely information at today's @NVCurriculum workshop: What Does Brain Research Tell Us About Stress, Teaching, and Learning?
What a great way to end #ISTEsla20 all hands on deck with Friday Funday! Flexibility and love summarize my remote teaching, which is probably why I created this Möbius Arc for the design challenge today.
NVOT is proud of Dr. Jennifer Mezzina, Assistant Principal-recognized as a Joseph B. Whitehead Educator of Distinction-and senior Aaron DeNicola-Coca Cola Scholarship recipient, who nominated Dr. Mezzina!

In striving to develop responsible young men and women, we must impart skills of civility and kindness. "Intelligence plus character" cultivate the pillars of education. Anything less is a disservice.
One bonus to the reduced travel situation is that Jason Zimba's session about the Math Milestones project is now going to be a virtual training! I believe there are spots still available. #mtbos#iteachmath#edchat@mathinstitutewi @achievethecore
With the switch to a virtual format, this event with Jason Zimba is now open to everyone! @mathinstitutewi has generously agreed to raffle off 3 tickets to attend. Every retweet of our promotional posts= a raffle entry!

Thank you @pcmiTLP and the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton for a great weekend of deep learning and sharing! Penrose tilings are still on my mind. Amazing how the golden ratio shows up unexpectedly. mathworld.wolfram.com/Penros…
Starting the New Year with Mathematics for Human Flourishing by @mathyawp. Thank you! Yes, everyone deserves to, and can experience beauty, truth and so much more through mathematics. My contribution to this as educator is just a drop in the ocean, and it matters.
After a great day of learning at the SIAM/Math for America workshop for HS teachers in mathematical modeling. Thank you @m3challenge for engaging us in mathematical thinking that matters!
AP CompSci Principles students in @nicole_hodgson5 class checking if and if else statements. I learn so much about my students when I see them in other classes. #openclassroomwednedsay offered participating teachers this opportunity at NVOT today. #nvalleyed#observeme
