Trying to create a professional learning experience that inspires leaders to prioritize #joy in mathematics. Looking for any and all inspiration from my #MTBoS community & any other brilliant educators (@GholdyM looking at you)! Videos, activities, ideas...send them my way :)
I am proud to be the Director of Social Studies for at @PHLschools, the first district in the nation to require African American History to graduate high school in 2005. The fact that the fascist @RonDeSantisFL is being awarded at the Union League is a slap in the face of Philly.
"None of the high-poverty, high-performing schools we studied 'intervened' their way to better academic outcomes." Authentic academic recovery can only happen when students have access to high-quality everyday teaching, say @KathleenBudge & @WHParrett. ascd.org/el/articles/le…
“‘He’s very slow.’ [His collaborator] thought they were wasting a lot of time on easy problems they already understood. But then he realized that Huh was learning even seemingly simple concepts in a much deeper way — and in precisely the way that would later prove useful.”

June Huh wasn’t interested in mathematics until a chance encounter during his sixth year of college. Now his profound insights connecting combinatorics and geometry have led to math’s highest honor.
Thanks for sharing this amazing resource for those who couldn’t make it.

Gerald Graff contends that it doesn't matter how radical and transgressive the content of your teaching is if the WAY you're teaching reflects the same old "pedagogical authoritarianism" - e.g., "failing to challenge the common assumption that teaching is a solo performance"
Districts are spending money on more assessments to tell them what they already know. The key to improving educational experiences is improving CORE instruction. Not interventions. Not more assessments. Not more teacher evaluations. Improving CORE INSTRUCTION!
“Simply telling students, ‘You belong!’ ignores their legitimate concerns,” writes a psychologist. It also shifts the blame onto the students if they still feel like they don’t. #EWOpinion edweek.org/leadership/opi…
Yes! Calculus should not be the goal- let’s stop mapping out the MS and HS math trajectory as if it is.

Those aren't my words. They belong to Alfred North Whitehead(1929). The future of math education won't exist if we don't harvest the kind wisdom of the past. @ohioctm
"Resources on the subject of community...emphasize the advantages of helping teachers to think less about “managing” students and more about creating supportive relationships with each one and fostering connections among students so they come to feel part of an “us.”" 🔥🔥

@GholdyM I would love to know how you would define the 5 pursuits in terms of mathematics. I know you talk about it in your book and you give examples but having some debate about distinguishing between them. Any insight would be so appreciated!!! #MTBoS
Apparently today is #SaySomethingNiceDay, so I'm turning Twitter roasts into Twitter toasts. Reply with #ToastMe below so I can say something nice about you!
Every decision we make at school we have to ask the question: Does this practice, policy, or tradition work to disrupt systems of oppression, cultural assimilation, and/or whiteness, or does it work to perpetuate it?
Once again @JanineRemillard and I will be teaching a virtual institute on Teaching Math Routines for Computational Fluency @Penngse Aug 17-19. Register now for early bird and group discounts! bit.ly/3vF6zLR
Please help me with learning “loss.” What’s lost if it wasn’t there in the first place? And if the loss is rote skills that Alexa and a calculator efficiently answer, who cares? And if it is essential conceptual understanding, who says it was developed well in the first place?
Lessons from Plants: When a plant is struggling we don't ask, "What's wrong with the plant?" we ask "What's wrong with the environment?" We need to position our questions the same way when considering K-12 students
For educators experiencing hybrid: what is the best advice you'd give teachers who are about to start? What resources do you think are critical that you wish you had prior to starting hybrid? #MTBoS #ITeachMath
Willy Loman wouldn't even try to sell long division.
