“Building Mathematical Practices” facilitated by Nicole Hirsch @MathCoachNicole and Michelle Della Fortuna @GlenRockMath #AMTNJPreK5Fall24

During Monday’s professional learning, our staff collaborated to unpack student learning data and develop meaningful, targeted small group plans for our new intervention periods. We’re focused on ensuring EVERY learner on Team Hamilton thrives! @grpssupt #BestTeamEver

Team Hamilton had a great day of professional learning focused on best practices for supporting ALL learners, especially our multilingual students! Thank you to @missalissanyc from Alongside Learning for supporting this important work! #hamilton #bestteamever @grpssupt

Inspired by @pmgmcgee's ideas for implementing partner talk routines in writing, my last coaching residency this year is about strategies for improving student discourse in math. Here are two routines we created to promote math partner talk during number sense routines. #mtbos

"Having students formulate a question based on a situation or a picture changes the role of the student from a passive answer machine to a mathematical thinker. The goal of our questions should be to create a conversation around the mathematical content." edutopia.org/article/asking…

That’s a wrap on our staff Alpha Fit workouts! Thank you to the #GRBOE and the #CultureandClimate Committee for supporting GRPS staff health and wellness. 💪🏋️👟 #rockgrnj #glenrockpublicschools #grpsstaff #alphafit #alphafitglenrock #grcultureandclimate

Incredible day of learning, collaborating, and #mathing at #amtnj2024. Thank you @Debpeart1 for an amazing keynote and @pamela_brett for a wonderful interactive session on fractions. And thank you @GlenRockMath for co-presenting with me on equity in assessments! #RockGRNJ

Thank you @Debpeart1 for an inspirational keynote - Mathers Gonna Math! Looking forward to presenting with @MathCoachNicole for session 3! @amtnj

Spring 2024 Conference “Mathematics Beyond Numbers: Content, Concepts, and Community” is here! Registration begins Friday at 7am in the Lucy Stone Auditorium @RutgersU. Meet up for @Debpeart1's Keynote at 8am then a day of learning. What's on your "to do" list for the day?

@mrsbautista3B This is so special, Michelle!

Had my great aunt visit 3B today to share her immigrant story from 1958. Such a great experience for the class! #rockgrnj #teambyrd

Such a fantastic morning full of meaningful conversations and classroom visits hosting the regional math coaches at @GRPSByrd with @GlenRockMath. @grpssupt #rockgrnj

@GlenRockMath This is amazing, Michelle! You are awesome!

Officially an Advisory Council Member of @LearnForwardNJ! Honored to spend the day engaged in meaningful conversation with a beautiful view! @LearningForward @grpssupt

Glen Rock staff started the New Year off with an Alpha Fit workout! Special thanks to the Board of Education, the Climate and Culture Committee, & #AlphaFit for making this happen. Looking forward to the next 8 weeks. Look at how strong we are already! 🏋️💪🏋️‍♀️ #rockgrnj

The elementary coaches started "Graffiti Walls" as a way for teachers to get quick inspiration from each other as they walked the halls. However, what we didn't plan for is that in many buildings the students have taken them over and we kind of love it! #rockGRNJ

So much fun launching Number Talks at @GRPSByrd today! These mathematicians came up with such great strategies! #rockgrnj

When you're cleaning out your bag of supplies after a demo lesson and find a sweet note left from a student ♥️. Math is fun! 🎉 #LoveMyJob #RockGRNJ
