This week we started fractions! Today we’re practicing our new skills as well as growing our brains with skills we will dive into next week! We’ve got fraction dominoes/dice w/ the bar model & number lines, spin to make a whole, and fraction tic-tac-toe w/ shapes & number lines!

Teachers who choose to stay in the classroom over moving to administration are leaders too! Honor their choice, dedication, & professionalism. Effective leaders actually embrace this choice and leverage their talents and expertise to benefit the whole school.

Sometimes a Number Talk starts with the ANSWER… and the scholars come up with the question. What have you tried recently with number talks that your scholars loved? 🤔 💭 @mgrant_2000 @MRegan0123 @Beth_Coryell @JanetMarotte777

#VisibleLearning founder John Hattie writes that the secret to great teaching lies in evaluative thinking—it’s less about what teachers do and more about how they think about what they do. ow.ly/gkVE50O6AT0

I literally CANNOT with folks defending traditional grading by saying it prepares students for the ReAL WoRLd When’s the last time a teacher got docked pay for late report card comments? Or could opt out of work with a 0? Or couldn’t try again after bombing an observation?

Make Tier 1 the priority. Make Tier 1 the priority. Make Tier 1 the priority. Tiers 2 & 3 are a direct reflection of how effective your Tier 1 is working. Design Tier 1 so that it is all is should be for learners & teachers. It's the only way things change.
