😱 Here's one strategy T @lbmb62997 uses to take some of the fright factor out of math class:

@DrGeorge_MU This is exactly what you did for all of us, Dr. George. I am lucky to have met you.

The greatest role we ca aspire to in our professional lives is providing mentorship to colleagues. Leadership begins with caring about the people we work with and assisting them to become the best versions of themselves. The gift in turn is we become better versions of ourselves.

@ScottRRocco @LinkedIn This is so spot on. I have had conversations with so many people along the same lines as your article.

@DrGeorge_MU Congratulations!

Excited to be a presenter today at AMTNJ’s Fall Conference. @amtnj

After a week of over 50 conferences, with a bunch more waiting for next week, this is my idea of a perfect Friday evening.

Such a gift to spend an evening with my parents.

Forever 27. 6/7/74-9/11/01.

Some students will walk in on the first day of school with brand-new shoes, a sharpened pencil, a smile, and a summer full of fun memories—campfires, swimming, travel, and laughter. Others will walk in with shoes that have holes in them, no supplies, a frown on their face, and an empty look in their eyes—carrying the weight of things they’ll never tell us. Some will act like they don’t care at all… but secretly hope we do. The start of a school year is our chance to remind every single one of them: you matter here, you belong here, and this year, we’ll write a story worth remembering—together. #maslowbeforebloom

A great overnight to Lancaster to see Air Supply, complete with lots of Mah Jong, a horse and buggy ride, and a visit to an Amish bakery.

Proud alum!

This first paragraph tells the story of probably thousands of stories I’ve heard in my last 20+ years as a math teacher. 2/2

This is the 1st paragraph of a book chapter I wrote last year about math anxiety among elementary teachers. Can you believe that of all the careers in the world, 1of the top ones for math anxiety is elementary teacher?! 1/2
