Students worldwide are struggling right now. With summer just around the corner, this is a nice reminder that things are not normal yet. Compassion and grace go a long way, and its okay to change expectations. nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

I ran into this with my AP Calc class this year too. I'm still trying to figure out the best course of action for next year. I was considering limiting the number of retakes they could do. That way they still can make up for a bad day if needed. I have to change something...

A new type of typeface might be beneficial to neurodivergent readers! 🤯 It's called bionic reading — the first few letters are bolded, making it easier for readers to glide through text and stay focused. (links in reply)

One of my freshmen called me "the Marry Poppins of Math" today. I'll be adding that to my resume!

@kasmith07 thank you for an inspiring session!
Loving this talk on #unfinishedlearning and equity at #NCTMVC21 With so many variables at play for students, this is such an important topic for math teachers! #iteachmath

15 years later and students still enjoy this simple card sort to better see the connections between functions and the graphs of their derivatives. I love listening to their math vocab while they work. #iteachmath #acsamman #apcalculus

I am so thankful for the lovely welcome from #acsamman After a long flight, it was such a comfort to be dropped off at our new home and find dinner waiting, a stocked fridge, and clean linens on the beds. We are off to a positive start! @dtswanson

"Instead of saying “Great!” or “Fine,” imagine if we answered, “Honestly, I’m languishing.” It would be a refreshing foil for toxic positivity — that quintessentially American pressure to be upbeat at all times." nytimes.com/2021/04/19/well/…

There’s a Name for the Blah You’re Feeling: It’s Called Languishing (Published 2021)

My seniors finished their last day of HS yesterday. I've been with that class for the past three years, and I am going to miss them dearly. I'm so thankful to have had such a wonderful group to go through the ups and downs of the last year with. They are incredible people.
