Love flows both ways.
Thank you, @HawksMathamagic, @SpringISD and @RobersonSpring, in a magical trip alongside @carnegielearn.
The energy and positivity from both your students and faculty was palpable. I'm still on clouds from our day together. Thank you.

I often say to my students, "I love when students use the word 'just'." Fellow educators, try saying that to your students. Then observe the look on their faces. They feel seen and attuned with. #TeachingTips #EduSpark #yaymath

10-year throwback to Yay Math's StatsCenter! With the Super Bowl on Sunday, revisit this parody of SportsCenter where I do funny impressions of sports celebs, including my take on the iconic John Madden. #YayMath #Statistics

Vulnerability mustn't be dramatic. Sometimes it's as simple as eye contact and a genuine greeting. Suspend everything else for a moment. Show you're present. #Leadership #Connection

Math confidence gone? Seneca thought she was stuck being bad at math for life. Then Robert came along and changed everything. Grades went up, curiosity returned, and math became joyful again. #yaymath #SuccessStory

I'm a sucker for spontaneous math jokes. Especially when students make them. Engaged math jokes = ideal math learning vibe.

I love traveling to Florida to speak, because the teachers truly care, and we so align on such important values. Thank you for having me, @browardschools.

We were inspired by keynote speaker @yaymath at the @BrowardMath Alg1 Summit, who reminded us that great teaching starts with connection. When we truly see, hear, and value our students, real learning begins. ❤️ @DrFlem71 @evans_ame @gbarmoha @BCPSNorthRegion

People often praise teachers which is great. But we rarely discuss the negative impact of those who don't like the work any more. #TeacherImpact #Education

In this interview clip, I share my personal experience from 8th grade, where my teachers' belief and my father's support transformed my life. It's how I learned the importance of a student's emotional state while learning. #education #learning

Shabbaton campfire. All-school talent show. Me on the mic, paying homage to our school's legendary dance team.
My favorite part is def cracking up Dr. Powell front row, our Head of School. You know what it is.

Cutting-edge math learning removes step-by-step instructions.
Strong pattern recognition ≠ true understanding.
Students need to foster interconnected thoughts, to build a math-thinking brain.
