Talking?! On an assessment day?!? 🤯This instructional strategy was AWESOME to see in action as students are allowed to collaborate on an assessments (leaving their pencil ✏️ at their desk) to clear up misconceptions and lessen test anxiety!

This must be tweeted every Halloween. I don’t make the rules.

Next week the #ProsperISDchat will be discussing critical thinking in the classroom. Retweet and tag 2 co-workers to get your name entered in for fantastic prize provided by @ProsperEdFound Winners announced next Friday Nov 4th!!

@MATHster_Jedi check this out!

@Paige_Trujillo_ @CoachTrujillo21 I recognize that mural! Great date spot choice ☺️

Loving some extra time with my people this weekend 🙌🏼🤍 Especially date night with @CoachTrujillo21 - thank you for being kind, patient, present, and my best friend 🌎

Woahhh @CoachAnselmi23

Our @ProsperISD teachers are amazing.

Learning about consolidating from the bottom. Such great conversation about eliciting student thinking. #buildingthinkingclassrooms

@MATHster_Jedi gave such a compelling talk about lowering student anxiety during assessments by having them COLLABORATE. Love this idea and how it contributes to #buildingthinkingclassrooms

Shifting from "best practices" to "expansive notions of good teaching" leaves room for teaching to be discussable. Thank you @ilana_horn for this distinction. @MathEdLeaders #NCSM2022

In order to say that kids don't need algorithms, we have to be really clear about the understanding they DO need. Thank you @pwharris for modeling this well for us! @MathEdLeaders #NCSM2022

Great representation of TASM Members at #NCSM22 #bethechange #tasmtalks

Reflecting on the cognitive investment in our vision for math education with @toncheff5 "what actions align with the shared vision?" is such a great question to think deeply about. @MathEdLeaders #NCSM2022

@ckirkmath @MathEdLeaders @pgliljedahl Great quote! #ThinkingClassrooms #Math #Math4All

"If you ask students to be accountable to you, they will not be responsible for themselves." #buildingthinkingclassrooms @pgliljedahl @MathEdLeaders #NCSM2022

"Small change is no change," I'm so proud to work with @ProsperISD math teachers who have made BIG CHANGES in the name of learning. #boldmathematics @MathEdLeaders @pgliljedahl #NCSM2022

Students can't be present if we keep reminding them of the future. #NCSM2022 @pgliljedahl

When students encounter challenge on the heels of success, that's when perseverance is developed. Perseverance is not a trait, it's a state. @pgliljedahl #NCSM2022

The more the teacher talks the less students think. @pgliljedahl #NCSM2022
