"We weren't so much teaching students to think; we were liberating them to think. They already had it in them." @pgliljedahl is such a treasure. #IMxWebinar #LearnWithIM

You can have engagement with absolutely no learning happening. But you can't have deep, meaningful learning happen without engagement. Learning is the main event. Engagement is the ticket to the show. Design for both.

When people say “but the way we taught math back then worked, so why change it?” I’m left wondering: worked for WHO though? How many people do you know in your adult life who actually like math or feel remotely capable of doing it? #mathchat

When parents are all “why aren’t they teaching math the same way I was taught as a kid?” I’m like, because name one other thing you think should be done the same way it was THIRTY YEARS AGO?! #mathchat

We rest a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of paraprofessionals but rarely include them in professional development opportunities. Let's include our paraprofessionals in training for all teachers. #LeadInclusion #SpecialEducation #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

Be Relentless! @KatieNovakUDL

Time to believe. New season kicks off 3.15.23

Want to close gaps? Fix Tier 1. Want greater achievement? Fix Tier 1. Want fewer misbehavior? Fix Tier 1. Want more engagement? Fix Tier 1. Want higher teacher morale? Fix Tier 1. Want authentic learning? Fix Tier 1. Want (FILL IN THE BLANK)? Fix Tier 1. Is there a theme here?

@pwharris A! I love using 25 as a benchmark

Which is your fav for doubling 27? Which do you wish your brain did naturally? Why? Mathematicians play with doubles! When we play with doubles, we're exhibiting mathematical behavior. #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat #HSmathchat #MathStratChat

@howie_hua 26+40-2

It's Mental Math Monday. How would you mentally calculate 26+38?

If you could watch any tv series for the first time again, what would it be?

@NicholasFerroni We live in the Boston area and have one in college and a second going next year. My husband also works as a personal trainer on the side.

@NicholasFerroni 26 years and the equivalent of 2 Master’s degrees and I JUST hit this amount. Hubby is 28 years in (M+15) and hasn’t hit it yet.

A question for teachers: How much would you have to make annually so you don’t have to live pay check to paycheck or work extra jobs, and have peace of mind? I’ll start: $100k to $105k. SPOILER: I’m in my 20th year and I’m not even close to that.

The more universal design for learning we use, the fewer accommodations & modifications we need to add later. Win-Win! #LeadInclusion #SpecialEducation #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

@abbeydick I just spit out my drink 😂

Many of the strategies in the #UDL framework may cause you to think, “that’s just good teaching.” This is true! But the framework brings INTENTIONALITY to removing barriers in our instruction. #LeadInclusion #SEL #EdChat #ATAssessment #UDL #Inclusion #UDL #EdLeaders
