I wonder what percent of a high school student’s day is spent listening to messages over and over about when things are due or how they are to be finished, instead of being able to truly experience those things for their intended worth. I’ll bet it’s higher than we think.

Let we let students help us get better. Love this reflection offering from @allison_krasnow.
I cannot recommend enough the power of asking Ss to candidly evaluate me at the semester's end. Helps me see my blind spots in addition to ways I have unknowingly touched their lives. Can be done in @desmos or anonymously in Google Forms #mtbos teacher.desmos.com/activityb…

Current question @mark4math asks when observing a school experience: How many decisions does a LEARNER get to make in the course of a lesson? #SDEquity

Want to learn and be inspired by math educators, but travelling to a "big" conference is difficult? Never can get a sub / don't want to miss class? Wish there was an extra day set aside to learn? Check out @GSDMC1 math conference for #socalmath educators on Sat. Feb 29, leap day!

If you're looking for ways to build a more cohesive family/team in your classroom, you'll want to know more about "brain synchronicity" - the science of how our brains sync up with those around us. This is a game-changer for the classroom. #brain #edchat lieslmcconchie.com/getting-e…

Fun fact: the first proposal for 'Necessary Conditions' didn't have the Academic Safety section. It was supposed to be a math PBL book. But the more research and time in classes really led me to 'active caring' as an essential piece to the puzzle.

An idea I hope I'm wrong about – The most essential teacher changes are almost impossible without simultaneous and massive personal changes.

And this is why we need movement in the math classroom. It’s not a luxury. The mind-body connection is powerful and largely untapped in school. @saravdwerf @cluzniak sharing Beauty of Movement: Increasing Discourse in Math Classrooms #mathmovement ##CMCmath

Students are listening...they are listening to what we say and this shapes their identity. Let’s smash this idea of “high kids” and “low kids” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼@mathematize4all #CMCmath #cmcsouth2019 #ignite
