When I found out I was expecting during my NB journey I was overjoyed and overwhelmed. But I wasn’t giving up! As a (tired) teacher Mama I was proud to see fireworks 💥 on my screen today. The sweet baby girl in my arms made this entire journey worth it! #wcpsmdNBCT #NBCTstrong

Excited to start my 10th year of teaching~ this first day will be one I’ll never forget! #wcpsfirstday

WOW! Such a powerful quote shared in the Strengths-Based Teaching and Learning in Mathematics book study. Looking forward to digging deeper into how I can focus on my students AND my own strengths to unlock learning in new ways. #wcpsmdlearns

“There is evidence that students who are struggling readers spend more time doing activities about reading...they need to experience success with reading itself. Success builds motivation.” @wcpsmdlearns #thisisbalancedliteracy

Cool new resource to elicit student thinking in math! Thanks @wcpsmd! #wcpsmdlearns

Awesome PD session on how to use @brainingcamp to shift our students thinking! SO many great virtual tools for Ts and Ss to use throughout the math block! Easy way to use as a quick formative assessment and build rich conversations in math! Thanks @MaryAnnNussear #wcpsmdlearns

"Feedback should be more work for the recipient rather than the giver." YES!! How can I improve this practice in my classroom? Inspired by the realness about teaching, formative assessment and feedback from keynote Dylan Wiliam! Thanks @wcpsmd #wcpsmdlearns

@CTSKeeley confirmed my thinking around productive science talk! Providing student opportunities to think deeper, listen to each other and respond thoughtfully. Great ways to engage Ss with speaking and listening skills~talk moves here I come! #wcpsmdlearns

Rethinking my fluency game over here! Shifting my students thinking from "I know these facts and I don't know these" to "I'm working on these facts and I got these!" by providing them with explicit strategies, communication tools and practice! Thanks @JBayWilliams! #wcpsmdlearns

Our teacher decisions directly impact our students learning in Math & Science. How can I shift my practice to engage and ensure student transfer? Thanks for pushing my thinking @JBayWilliams #wcpsmdlearns
