Proud to see @NotreDame researchers launching a free math app that helps educators tailor instruction to student needs. The app, developed by @ieiatnd and the @lucy_institute, reflects years of research on mathematical cognition. research.nd.edu/news-and-eve…

Want to boost math understanding? Number sense is key! This NSF-funded tool, developed at Notre Dame, reveals students' understanding of numbers, operations, and how they interact. numbersense.nd.edu @UNDResearch @PKatACE @NicoleMMcNeil @lucy_institute @NSF

Excited to be able to finally share this work in JRME! We started this project all the way back in 2019.
🌟📣 We have an exciting new paper in JRME! Led by @PKatACE and supported by the quant expertise of Alison Cheng of @lucy_institute. This paper shares validity evidence for a brief, easy to use assessment of mature number sense. 🔢 A thread 🧵👇

Thank you @deansforimpact for your consistent support and vision for what tutoring initiatives can do across the country!
Today we visited TutorND tutors at @SouthBendCSC & Head Start of St. Joseph County where we observed tutors engage students in rigorous, affirming learning. Thx so much @NicoleMMcNeil for hosting us & @NotreDame CLAD Lab tutors for letting us join you! @PKatACE @ACEatND @ieiatnd

Grateful for the opportunity to learn from others and share our work on Number Talks and Restorative Justice - even if presenting on Zoom in South Bend is not quite the same as presenting in Orlando! #AMTE2021 @NicoleMMcNeil

“This wasn’t about me; it was about the students.” Rachel truly loved every student as if they were her own child. And so help you if you didn’t match that love. I’m a much better teacher and person from having known her. May we all strive to follow her example.

With heavy hearts we share the passing of Dr. Rachel Moreno—our beloved colleague who supervised hundreds of ACE teachers over the years and also worked with the English as a New Language program. ace.nd.edu/news/in-loving-me… We invite you to share and celebrate her life with us.

Some very much needed good news from the school year - made even better by adorable pictures of the Mac kids! Thanks to everyone who made this happen.
I am so proud of this program we created here at @NotreDame! @ACEatND @PKatACE @RCLC ndworks.nd.edu/news/here-for…

Meg’s reaction to this rivaled my reaction to the Cubs winning the World Series. #SomeGoodNews
It's happening. Trader Joe's is coming to Eddy Street Commons and will "anchor the south end of Eddy Street Commons." A release states that construction is underway with an opening date "to be announced in the future." southbendtribune.com/news/lo…

While they might have had an extra 100 days to prep this, Liverpool’s media team deserves a raise. #YNWA #championsofengland

The odds that this paper I'm writing on "uncertainty" in word problems ends up being retitled "Into the Unknown" increases every day of the quarantine.
