Is there a video of @pgliljedahl or someone else doing BTC in action? Like a 40-60 minute video. If so, I’d be grateful for a link.

May all policy makers take note. 37 to 1 over 5 periods is too many Ss to teach, especially if you want Ts to foster connections and provide rich feedback. Would you want a Dr to see 185 patients a day? And expect them to provide excellent 1 on 1 card to all of them?🤔
Smaller class size is the answer to so many educational woes.

Besides excellent teachers and having students want to learn, IMO reducing class sizes is the best way to improve student learning. Imagine the difference between a class of 37 and a class of 25. Or a doctor with 125 patients versus 185?
Class Size Working Group report focused on key aspects of implementing the new class size law, including enrollment planning, space and capital planning, special education, staff and hiring, instructional implications, and budgeting and financing silive.com/education/2023/12…

Student teaching needs to be a paid internship. It should be a non-negotiable.

Just released Ep5 of the FREE audio companion to The #ImperfectUnfinished Math Teacher. In this episode, we "interrogate our math story" bc so much of what we internalized about math class as students is unproductive to our work as teachers. #iteachmath youtu.be/cZaZXDG0Ays

May this post be raised to the second power. Thank you to cmc volunteers and the great community at cmc. It’s great to make human and content connections.
I had SUCH an AMAZING time at the @CAMathCouncil South conference. I am so grateful to all the volunteers who worked on committees to make it possible. It truly is the best conference out there! #cmcmath ps. I had so much fun I didn't take many pictures! Anyone have any of us?

I do love the NCTM national conference and its goal to create community. In this spirit I wonder how #NCTMDC23 can create more community for us here beyond the conference? How can we create opportunities for us to create community? I want more.

Come explore and discuss the causes and cures of Math Trauma with me tomorrow at #NCTMDC23 from 2:45-4. No amount of good pedagogy can overcome one moment of trauma. Let’s explore how to prevent this and help those Ss who have trauma heal from it.

Representing #Rossier in DC. It’s powerful to be in a place that brings hope of liberty, justice, peace , and equality, while also reminding us of the struggle the US is still going through to attain true justice and peace.

Planning a 5 day trip to DC for #NCTM2023 while finishing work for my doctoral program is overwhelming, but my excitement to be with other like minded educators is pushing me through both!

Is requiring students to turn in assignments school hours legal? And even if legal, is this a healthy practice?

Imagine a country where every school is state-of-the-art, where every student eats a delicious and nutritious meal, class sizes are small and have expertly trained teachers who are paid well and not saddled with mountains of student loan debt. That could be this country.
