@Rovezingram @FGilbani @MChristian_ES @FGilbani !!! YAY!!! Congratulations girl!! You will have to keep an eye on my youngest for me 👁 next year!!! 🦁

We are so excited to welcome Gilbani Feliciano-Lugo as our new Associate Principal! I’m confident she will do great things to support our little lions! #PowerofthePride @FGilbani @MChristian_ES

This is a fantastic article about PD for teachers!!! I LOVE the stitchfix idea!! THAT is something that gives teachers personalized learning and some voice in the process!! So much good here! edweek.org/leadership/how…

@JayNDonde @aronMaurer They aren’t taking options away. This will allow several additional mathematics options for students instead of forcing everyone to stay on the path to calculus. Calculus is only needed by about a 1/4 of the population.

@AlgebraTeachRVA @aronMaurer How is removing options from students "detracking?" Seems like this is actually hyper-tracking, no?

I see that we’ve reached the Full Idiocracy phase of modern leftism.

@JayNDonde @aronMaurer when ppl read the headline they assume Ss wont get the support they need/things’ll be dumbed down. If they truly go as deep as they say, I’d have no issue with the detracking of math courses. This is best practices as researched + recommended by universities + math orgs I respect

@AlgebraTeachRVA @aronMaurer Respectfully, I think if you read the rest of the exchange between Aaron and me, you’ll see that the article and headline are both entirely accurate.

Who Gets To Be A Math Person? Read more about how educators can create more equitable math classrooms that give all students the chance to succeed, even if they don’t fit the mold of what a “math person” looks like. ow.ly/2Zzf50EszJ6 #EdEquityVA

@RobertCStern AMAZING!!!!!!!

They penned this as the #YouCanBeABCs with Sam. This is the ABC's we should be teaching our youth. #keepdreaming #kids #education #success #goals #tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaymotivation

@RMS_Stanley @CbgScms @DonnaFWilson @studentssmiling @Emily_Stains413 I love this assignment!!!

@CbgScms 7th graders rate their classmates’ summer reading selections on a “Grit Continuum”.@DonnaFWilson @studentssmiling @Emily_Stains413

Cool idea!!! #ILoveMath

I love my school... and our leaders!! ❤️❤️❤️

And how do you properly welcome new Ravens to the Nest? With Butter Braid Bread, of course. Thank you to @AlgebraTeachRVA and @erinlaliberte2 for leading our first socially-distanced, proactive community-building circle with our newest family members! #oneccps #edmsravens

@RHall_Math @CanvasLMS @CodeRVA1 So it looks like for each skill you are just planning to do note/practice/quiz. Do you think that is enough for most kids? I’m so worried that they will not get enough practice... esp w later units? Thoughts?

Knocking out some @CanvasLMS course set-up and content today! @CodeRVA1 #virtuallearning #mtbos docs.google.com/document/d/1k0…

Our kids, our parents, our teachers have been resilient," Lane said. "We're going to look back and say, 'This is one of the toughest generations of kids that we've been able to work with because of what they've endured.'" 13newsnow.com/article/news/e…

@kurt_salisbury @Desmos @AlgebraDesmos You are amazing!!! Thank you for all the work you do to help teachers make our classes a little more fun!!

I have completed some more @desmos algebra lessons. Find them here: kurtsalisbury.com/algebra-1/ #iteachmath #mtbos @AlgebraDesmos

@RHall_Math I LOVE this!!! I was thinking of doing something similar!!! This is great!! ❤️

Check out our getting to know you assignment for Algebra I -Does anyone have any feedback for me? #mtbos #iteachmath #virtuallearning docs.google.com/document/d/1s3…

I have done this before and I loved it. It takes a while for students to get used to but I think it’s so valuable to shift the focus back to the learning and away from the grade!!

Yes to all of this! Feedback from students is so important as we navigate new instructional models and as we work to support students’ individual emotional & educational needs.

“one clear conclusion:little kids 1st. Elem. schools must reopen, spread out across all school buildings & grounds.Given the intense needs of ss w/ disabilities & the difficulty of online alternatives, MS & HS Ss with special needs should have priority for in-person attendance.”

This is how we make the best of this school year! Robust plans for digital learning! Focus here so that students get the best of what we can give them... digital learning CAN be effective... you have to be prepared! #oneccps

@DotHeffron @ccpsinfo Thank you!! Protecting teachers and students needs to be at the forefront. There is so much unknown about this virus still. We protected our children in the spring and while digital learning wasn’t great before, we have the tools to implement it much better this fall!!
