When we make learning a competition, what are we teaching students about learning? Don't we want all our students to learn/master the outcomes. Retakes send a message & opportunity that learning is ongoing and that mastery is accessible to all. #sd61learn @joboaler #iteachmath

A true but seemingly controversial statement from our recent article on Standards-Based Grading.

I can’t stop laughing and smiling at this. I asked ChatGPT to write the 10 commandments of instructional design.

Wow. Makes you think. twitter.com/jackdwagner/st…

1/7 As the years go by, fewer educators hear about one of the most important research findings of the 20th century, known as the Eight-Year Study. Back in the '30s, 30 high schools around the U.S. turned traditional practice on its head, especially for college-bound students...

Let's always keep this in mind.

So proud of this little man! Such an incredible builder and problem solver. This is for ver my head. #sd61learn. #iteachmath #building #kidsareawsome

Good Morning Whistler, I am over the moon to be sharing this morning about elevating classrooms to communities. I don't want kids to come to my math class, I want them to belong to it! #BCAMTbelong ,#maths, #iteachmath, #sd61learn, #classroom2community, #community

Super excited to be in Whistler at the BCAMT conference & working with such great people. I am looking forward to presenting "Stop Teaching Math" I hope no one listens to my presentation title. 😉 #stopteachingmath, #BCAMTbelong,#Iteachmath, #sd61learn,#maths, #hope

@Desmos Thanks @desmos!!!!!!

@TimothySpray First, great work, Gavin!  The small glitches here sometimes occur when there are lots of restrictions (and/or complicated ones). Good news is you can often fix this by using a double-inequality instead.  Example in line 183 here: desmos.com/calculator/x6n…

@desmos can you help my student Gavin. He has made this amazing image with over 200 lines of code and added shading. Parts of the shading are not showing up. The math is correct. Any ideas? desmos.com/calculator/voa…

The goal of assessment is not to rank students or determine who is best, but rather to help ALL students improve and do their best. #sd61learn, #math, #iteachcalculus, #bcamt, #iteachmath #standardsbasedgrading, #assessment

We love @desmos. Hey desmos, any chance you can add a feature to darken minor grid lines. When I create a paper task with a desmos graph, it is sometimes hard for students to see the lines. Maybe you have already created this feature and I don't know about it. Thank you

Cooperative learning as a strategy to reduce bullying? Interesting study of middle schools: is.gd/k04lUr

My daughter and I surviving the night in Ukraine. We are real people at war with crazy dictator and we need the world’s support right now #StandWithUkraine

@d_martin05 I love this conversation. The point of school is to support all students to success. Students learn at different rates. We use the final exam time for students to focus only on what they have not mastered yet and then allow them to improve. #sd61learn

The Nigerian President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, has called on Western nations to pay compensation to Africa for the damage done to the continent by the slave trade.

@alicekeeler Whoops … when OUR bodies are moving, our brains are moving

@alicekeeler Sitting is the new smoking. Kids sit way too much in our schools. Math especially lends itself to active learning : whiteboards , windows, wipeboards… When are bodies are moving our brains are moving.

I hate desks. I dragged them all out of my classroom over 10 years ago. Flexible seating if i can get it!!
