When learning math, a student needs to play with the math, explore the math, connect it with their own lived experiences and world and use it in practical and authentic ways that are meaningful to them (not the teachers). Otherwise, it doesn't stick. #mathequity #edutwitter

Whenever I hear of educators "empowering" their students I wonder what they mean by "empower" and how it is that they do so. Here are 5 ways to authentically empower students. A 🧵...

Three Reads, a math language routine embedded in IM K–12 Math, is designed to support students as they make sense of word problems. Read this week’s blog post by IM Facilitator @MathTeacherJH to learn more! ow.ly/kwW750KilWY #LearnWithIM

Here’s the second part of our conversation- we talk cognitive development, pandemic teaching and accelerating learning.
In part 2 of our conversation with Zaretta Hammond of @ready4rigor on #The180Podcast, we dive deeper into what #culturallyresponsiveteaching really means for educators and schools. bit.ly/3Aa5Eoy

The impact of the retake is not only that it allows students to improve their grades, but it also ensures that they understand the important concepts.  katielmartin.com/2021/11/07/… #evolvingeducation #learnercentered

It is time to get rid of #remediation. It doesn't even make sense to think that going slower would catch anyone up. Listening to @GloriaLadson #NCSMlive @MathEdLeaders

Huge re “learning loss.” 👇🏆 “If we each answered what it means for students to be ready for various math concepts, our responses would likely be very different, as would each student’s prior understandings and experiences.” achievethecore.org/aligned/t…

An effective system of interventions is built upon the assumption that even the most at-risk students are capable of learning at high levels, and that the educators can collectively achieve this outcome for every student. #atplc

Students struggling in math class don’t need traditional remediation. They need rich mathematical experiences related to their lives in order to make sense of what they are learning. “More of the same but slower/simpler” merely keeps those students behind.

Today's PSA: "Learning Loss" is a made-up construct and only serves to deflate students, educators, and caregivers. It invalidates their hard work and resiliency, ignores all the learning that happened, and adds unnecessary stress. #remotelearning #education

Please help me with learning “loss.” What’s lost if it wasn’t there in the first place? And if the loss is rote skills that Alexa and a calculator efficiently answer, who cares? And if it is essential conceptual understanding, who says it was developed well in the first place?

Why do so many publishers still put a few conceptual understanding problems into a lesson without direct connections to the abstract?
