A7. Very influential in my teaching life was participation (as a middle and high school math teacher) in a Phila teachers' collaborative that used Pat Carini's Descriptive Review of a Child. We spent hours, collaboratively looking at the work of a child. #AFGChat

Hey #CMCmath @CAMathCouncil @mctm_mn @PCTMpctm @VermontMath (and everyone else, of course). Love to have some of you apply for this project I'm involved with. Grant-funded, so participation is free, and there are stipends. And fun, thoughtful people to work with!
