Me: I'm a math teacher.
Them: Oh, I hated math in school. Also, what's with this new way of teaching math? Why don't they just teach it the way we were taught?

This video from @gfletchy explains multiplication from 2nd to 5th grades and applies to middle and high school teachers too (think: distributive property, polynomial multiplication, etc.). gfletchy.com/2015/12/18/the-… #MTBoS
Another application as to why computational understanding is vital!

I once heard the term “nice nasty” to describe a person who smiles and says all the right words, but doesn’t align their actions to demonstrate care.
Care is in the hardest moments made easier.
Care is in the spaces where people need a gentle push in the right direction.
Care is an experience of doing best for others.
We all want to be cared for by our leaders.
How will you demonstrate care today?

Great article that speaks to the importance of reassessment as well as misconceptions and pitfalls. It's a good one!
Retake policies in most schools are based on serious misconceptions that thwart any possibility of success. This articles helps guide the development of effective policies that evidence shows can and do work.
