I’m getting scared that we’re forgetting Breonna Taylor- those cops haven’t even been arrested. Please remember black women. Please let’s keep fighting for her.

We are launching Nepantla Cohorts this year! We will be forming small virtual math ed communities to build antiracist math classrooms in our specific contexts. #mtbos #iteachmath Fill out the interest form here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

This is HUGE! Amazing Desmos get-to-know you 1st week activity in math class. Beautifully shows many cool Desmos features in an accessible way. Applause to Shira Helft teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde… Desmos #mtbos #iTeachMath

I don’t think VP Pence’s mansplaining and over-talking is doing a lot to narrow the gender gap, unless it is also turning off more men as well.

To the streets of America today. Joy looks good on you.

Same. A joyous moment.

MrPrincipal I find that often those who are the quietest, that sit & listen, take in all perspectives, & then speak are much more thorough with what they bring to the table. As leaders we need to give them that opportunity to share when they can’t find an “in” or opportunity to do so.

Even if we use the least-bad methods, ed. psychs M. Maehr & C. Midgley reminded us, "an overemphasis on assessment can actually undermine the pursuit of excellence." The more kids are led to focus on how well they're doing, the less they're thinking about the learning itself.

The way we talk about kids and grading reflects deep beliefs that can be harmful. I made a recent change to replace “grading” with “feedback.” Kids need feedback to learn, not a grade. Tonight I’m giving feedback, not grading.

Subtweeting: don’t ever fall back on “there isn’t enough time in the course to properly #teach the material”. Why are we designing courses that we can’t finish? Who are we serving? #ITeachMath

Things that don't exist: children who don't want to learn, a culture or mindset of poverty, communities that don't value education, educational outcome disparities caused by an entire group's shortage of "grit." Let's not use resources fixing things that don't exist.

It's challenging but essential for parents and teachers to celebrate kids who have the gumption to question what they're told, and, indeed, to actively support them in becoming reflective rebels. Alas, too many adults seem to prefer the child of least resistance.
