HS Math Teachers, this one’s for you! Listen in to my convo with @beske3 where we talk about focus, coherence, and modeling in secondary mathematics. mindfulmathcoach.com/episode… #highschool #mtbos #iteachmath #mathchat #educhat #mathcoach #mathematics
Any other "recovering perfectionists" out there? I chatted with a former colleague about the topic, and we realized that trying to avoid mistakes is NOT modeling #mathmindsets. We captured our convo for others to hear: mindfulmathcoach.com/episode… #growthmindset #iteachmath #mtbos

Before this podcast interview I was still unsure what it actually meant to design lessons that support culturally responsive pedagogy. Looking for concrete ways to implement it? Listen to this interview with Dionne Aminata @IllustrateMath. mindfulmathcoach.com/episode… #iteachmath
As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth I believe the call @JMarshall_Chi makes to Teach With Humanity & Dignify Students is a must-listen – especially for all white teachers working with students of color. Listen here: mindfulmathcoach.com/episode… #letstalkaboutrace #antiracistteachers
In this episode, Ph.D. student @JMarshall_Chi makes a compelling case for why teachers should spend more time getting to know students’ WHOLE selves – and less time trying to control or “fix” them. Listen here: mindfulmathcoach.com/episode… #culturematters #students #TEACHers #mtbos

A few years ago, I wouldn't have known how to respond to this tweet.⁠ Reading books about race & equity (+ TALKING about it) changed that. ⁠I'm organizing a book club for CASTE: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson.⁠ Join here: mindfulmathcoach.com/bookclu… #eduequity

On vacation and saw a woman put (no less than) 10 towels on some of the BEST beach chairs to 'save' them. It's that "looking out for myself and my own" behavior that worries and angers me. Similar things happen in schools. All the time. #stopsavingchairs #greatergood #eduequity
What if we stopped blaming students who struggle in math and start implementing strategies to help them access it? Not sure how? Join me @MakeMathMoments Virtual Summit Nov 13-14. It's 100% free, and I'm presenting a session on this EXACT TOPIC! bit.ly/3mZWMhS #mathchat

QQ for secondary math teachers. >>> I'm thinking about leading a 75 min workshop to teach how to support students who are behind. I'd share 5 simple strategies you can use to "bridge the gap" in daily lessons. (not sure of price but would be < $50) You interested? Comment below⬇️
How did I not know about these? @achievethecore created 29 (count 'em, 29!) Do Now Tasks that 6th grade teachers can use to address students' #unfinishedlearning from prior grades. Ah-maz-ing.
MS #MathEducators: These warm-up activities can be used to strengthen understanding of prior-grade-level math. Teacher guide includes: possible solutions, possible student misconceptions, and suggestions for additional supports. bit.ly/2ZHWi6W #unfinishedlearning

Why did you decide to become a math teacher? What keeps you in it when things are tough? MY WHY: All students deserve the opportunity to learn math at a deep level, and I believe strong math understanding can open doors #mtbos #iteachmath #edchat #mathchat #thinkingclassroom

Math Coaches ~ Which would be more helpful to you? (A) a low priced workshop you could send your teachers to on the topic of unfinished learning / increasing access, (B) a "train the trainer" workshop that you'd attend + all the materials to lead w/ your team #mathchat #edchat
