Ohhhh BABY this is the box of all boxes... IT'S MY ALMA MATER! While I wasn't the greatest quarterback in the world, my time as a Dayton Flyer was some of the best of my life. Thank you to Coach Andrews, Tony Caruso and @DaytonFootball, see you guys Week 1 @ Eastern Illinois!!

Hey math teachers, as you plan your summer reading, check out this new one by an amazing husband and wife team-both experts in math and literacy. I think high school teachers would also appreciate the thinking in this book. ⁦@delta_dc⁩ and ⁦@literacygurl⁩

Let’s go Griffins! #GOGRG

Preach @literacygurl! What are the multiple modes for learning mathematics? Play, exploration and intentional learning are all a part of the experience #mia2024

@RAnderson_Math @MAISA_ISDs It feels like this question can be answered at the macro level which relates to the person’s identity. It’s also helpful before a specific conversation so our actions are more aligned with the intent.

What hat are you wearing and how are you choosing congruent behaviors? #MiMathEssentials @MAISA_ISDs

How does this align with your understanding of curriculum?

@trevor_chalmers Impressive! Congrats

1st race since April. IYKYK. Lord of the Springs 19 mile race. Thanks to Brian Gilbert, Katie Collins and the rest of the team at The Center for Physical Rehabilitation for getting me back on the trails after my injury. 5th place in age division for first Gravel-Single track race

“Put the intellectual activity back with the students” @amynoelleparks #MIMathEssentials

Public shoutout to @kristibaumbach for setting the stage for productive walkthroughs this week. Bringing context really helped the interactions gain traction. Your feedback for me about clarity is still reverberating 3 days later! Appreciate you @WolvesWps #MichME

You know when you walk into a classroom and just feel welcome? Autumn’s 3rd grade class at @WolvesWps reminded us content is important but so is being polite and encouraging others. Those kids truly cared for each other. #MichME

#ITeachMath And I'm just passing along John Hattie's work: "The remarkable feature of the evidence is that the greatest effects on student learning occur when teachers become learners of their own teaching, and when students become their own teachers." (p.14, 2012)

@DanVanWyk1 @WyomingWolves @IllustrateMath So glad to have seen it! Looking forward to connecting for the learning lab.

@DejaMarcus @WyomingWolves @IllustrateMath Thanks Marcus! We enjoyed having you!

This 4th grade class at @WyomingWolves modeled inclusion, belonging, flexible thinking and such an effective use of time with @IllustrateMath. Teacher reflection - “I just trusted the program and students” #MichME

A third grade student just referenced the 90s as the “olden days” during a notice/wonder. We laughed but couldn’t help but made us wonder - Do you see 20 years before you were born as the olden days?

Do we fall back into old habits or sustain new ways of operating? @FoxResnick #MIMathEssentials

How do our natural ways of learning align with the project design elements? What about the teaching practices and what we know about high-quality instruction in our current system? 🤔 #PBL #PrBL

“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; And third by experience, which is the bitterest.” - Confucius

“Tasks that ask for students to perform a memorized procedure in a routine manner lead to one level of thinking; tasks that ask students to think conceptually lead to a very different set of thinking processes.” #MiMathEssentials
