Discomfort is necessary for growth 💕

Good school culture is not the result of a lot of gimmicks… it is the result of a bunch an adults motivated to do what is best for kids.

So proud of my girl and her beautiful new book!! A must read for any elementary educator, counselor, therapist, etc. What a beautiful way to describe and articulate feelings! #SEL

Why smart people often do stupid things: Intelligence isn't a substitute for wisdom. Intelligence is the capacity to learn. Wisdom is converting learning into good judgment. Using brainpower requires willpower. It takes self-control to choose future gains over current impulses.

Freebie alert! Many teachers ask *exactly* what a sequence of lessons might look like to boost conceptual transfer. Here are a ton of samples that are included in our Instructional Design course. Calendars: bit.ly/ACTcalendars Course: bit.ly/48p6Wx4

Me: Man… if only there were a guide for supporting UDL in the math classroom @CorwinPress : Here ya go! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

This week, we made a big impact in education: ✅ Lesson lab ✅ Coached a leader ✅ Coached a KG team ✅ Completed a live online course ✅ Polished up a curriculum framework ✅ Gave a guest lecture to a Harvard course ✅ Edited manuscript for my fifth book coming soon!

Ahhh! I was accepted to my doctoral program today! I am one of nine who will be in my cohort, and I’m honored to have been selected. My work will be in mathematics education, and I just can’t wait to get started!! #justjumpinanddoit #knowbetterdobetter

Had the amazing privilege of hangin’ with Shelley Moore (@tweetsomemoore) today! Shelley - you’re a gift to the world. Today inspired and reminded us of our why - so grateful for your voice in this educational landscape!

… and I’ll say it again - Math can change the world 🌎 💕 Thank you @LanaSteiner4 for this beautiful message!

Still thinking about NCTM in DC and what an incredible experience it was this year! If you went- what was your favorite new learning? I honestly can’t choose one, but seeing so many amazing speakers preaching engaging and equitable instructional practice makes my heart sing!

@pgliljedahl - I will truly never get tired of hearing your brilliance. This method of note-taking has changed the game for me as a BTC teacher. Curious about a strong consolidation? Check it out! summit.makemathmoments.com/talks/building…

@pwharris I see 16 x 100 which is 1600. Since I know 3/4 of 16 is 12, and that 75 is 3/4 of 100, then 16 x 75 is the same as 3/4 of 1600 which is 1200.

It's time for #MathStratChat! Rules: post your favorite or a clever solution! It's also fun to comment on other's strategies. Tell us about your reasoning. Like/Retweet so others can see! #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat

@DavidKButlerUoA First I can see the chunk circled in green is several rows of three which means that quantity is definitely a multiple of 3 … and I see (in blue) 3 groups of four which means that quantity is also a multiple of three .. so the total definitely is!

Don't count the dots! Show me how you know the number of dots is a multiple of three. #MTBoS #MathsChat

There is a cost to lead. True leaders are willing to pay the price: sacrifice self-interest and put their Cause ahead of themselves.

Leaders- answer these questions Every. Single. Day. What did you do to promote student learning? What did you do to support your teachers and staff? Every Student (Every Teacher). Every Day. Whatever It Takes! @letsquitteachin @casas_jimmy @ToddWhitaker @Principal_EL @thomascmurray @gcouros @unfoldthesoul @plugusin @gerrybrooksprin @SteeleThoughts
