Just finished listening to the last #InstructionInterruption podcast with @manditorrez as host where she speaks with 2021 NMTOY @a_b_c_de_u. Great passing of the torch moment with plenty to be optimistic about for the new year!

Opening keynote from Scott Marion & Juan D'Brot of @NCIEA1 provided deep insight in to what assessments could look like in the craziness of this school year! Looking forward to the closing by Douglas Fisher as well!

Excited to chat tomorrow with teachers from APS and Rio Rancho PS before finishing the day with @manditorrez and later Alisa Cooper de Uribe ! Lots of experience in this lineup!

Also registered for the #CALSAFOR2021 conference at the end of this month, pumped to meet more of the CALSA ! So much to learn from these #FOREducators

Such a great conversation with @manditorrez on Friday about the needs and challenges that NM teachers are facing. She has been, and will continue to be, such a great advocate for teachers and their voice!

Thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Alisa Cooper de Uribe about her (and my) nonlinear career path that led us to education, teaching philosophy around inter-sectional learning, and NYC living + working in LATAM! Excited to follow her as #NMTOY2021!

So many of my colleagues began teaching after living other lives, and their experiences bring so much to their classrooms. Conversations about these paths are important! Thanks Oscar Norsworthy.

Love this Q about how to bring together Desmos and Peter Liljedahl Thinking Classrooms. Responses are also great so far!

Always love to see how much we’re helping educators! Many of these changes are made by telling us what you need in your classrooms!

A great explanation of fractions with Lego.

Today was a good day. Kids were doing some geometric transformations in a Desmos activity and were Googling the names of the famous mathematicians on the dashboard out of curiosity 🤓. I am really enjoying the Desmos curriculum 🥳 #iteachmath #mtbos

I borrowed a game from summer camp where I have my Ss say their first name with an action word in front (i.e. Clapping Claire) and we’d go around the room trying to see how many action+name combos everyone could remember! Fun and functional

I really need folks to understand that the work teachers have done over the past 2 1/2 yrs is nothing short of extraordinary. I've seen teachers whose own lives have been upended by grief, illness, & instability continue to show up for their students in countless, remarkable ways

Week 3 of half marathon training: I’ve missed a couple of runs but traded them in for playing soccer. That still counts, right?

My teacher heart is beyond happy! 🥹 Our scholars LOVE the new DesBook curriculum and collaborating on the white boards! 💚💛 Thanks again @NISDMSMath for providing us with such amazing educational tools! Sul Ross MS
