Mission accomplished! Earlier this school year, I was inspired by another post to curate and organize 180 math tasks on Google Slides. I just finished task #180. Recent additions come from Math is Fun, @BurdessAlicia and @traciteacher. #iteachmath bit.ly/180daysmath 1/n

One of my favorite ways to build culture is to reward everyone in honor of one. "Because Jenny had such a great week, all of you get 10 extra minutes of recess in her honor. Thank her not me." This can be done school wide! #schoolculture #teacher

@glstabile Love when reading and problem solving come together!

Today we read a book called “Snap”. 📸 We used the information we learned from various text features to take a great photo. When it didn’t come out well, the kids talked through problem solving to take a better picture. Scroll to see the results. #NofilterNoflash #NRinspiregreat

@glstabile This is so awesome! ❤️

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Today I gave each of my students a “fruit by the foot”. I am so proud of their measurable growth in reading and immeasurable growth in confidence. It’s time to show what we know on the OST. 📚 🌏 #NRinspiregreat #readingsocialstudies

Isn't every assessment formative? (except, maybe, the very last one?). One reason I quit doing "makeups" and "retakes" and turned every assessment into an opportunity to improve. Not happy about that quiz? No problem, the next test can replace it. Test performance not up to par? ... No Biggie, the term exam can replace that. The only grade that is final is the one they force me to submit at the end of a term, but until that moment I will bend over backwards to give you a 2nd, 3rd, 4th... chance. (The secret is... I quit caring about the grade in the gradebook a long time ago, I care about the learning ... Anything I can to reward learning .. WHENEVER it happens, I will do that. That grade is an arbitrary number, based on many things that have NOTHING to do with learning. I never let that number stop the learning in my classes). #iteachmath #mtbos #maths #math

People are the key variable. No matter how brilliant your strategy, it will not succeed unless people take ownership of their role in execution. The speed of execution happens at the pace of people, not the pace of the plan.

@glstabile Love the engagement! They are so focused!
