This is a game changer. We must look at what we teach and how we teach it. What are we expecting from students. As an educator you need to check out ChatGPT. I put in a creative writing assignment my students completed before the break and it wrote a good story. Ss will use this.
If ChatGPT doesn’t cause educators (& education) to pause & reflect on how & what we teach, our students are being underserved & undervalued. Never before has the need for skills such as curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, personal/social awareness been so important. A🧵

I’ve used rectangles with single and double digit multiplication but hadn’t thought about using it with binomials.

This! When students have ownership of the classroom expectations, the are more likely to live it.
Getting students to take ownership of classroom expectations from the first week: Step 1: students generate every rule/expectation they think is needed in our classroom

It’s all about relationships.
Welcoming students into the classroom in 3 days and what’s on my mind? Take your time and get the know them. There’s no rush. Get to know them. The more I get to know them, the more they’ll know themselves and each other. Nothing is more important than getting to know them.
