For all the shutouts, Fernando Valenzuela’s most impressive performance might have been Game 3 of the 1981 World Series, when he gave up 9 hits and 7 walks as he gutted out a 147-pitch complete game victory. Pure heart. RIP to a legend.

“If the goal is for students to produce the strategies, then the teacher can’t demonstrate them first!” @thestrokeofluck Concept should come before procedure. “I do, we do, you do” is not a strategy to do when introducing a new concept/topic. #tasmtalk

What Works for Me: “I asked ChatGPT to write an essay on the theme of fear in Macbeth. I gave it to my seniors and told them I’d probably score it a D. Their job was to redeem it. C level added quotes and better syntax. B level had to thoroughly expand. Most chose the ‘A’ option: not look at the ChatGPT essay and write their own. It helped them to see how simplistic the AI is, unless they’re sophisticated in programming it.” —Kristen Brewer, Educator

Hear from educator Kyndall Brown on the new Impact of Identity in K–12 Mathematics: Rethinking Equity-Based Practices, Expanded Edition. Get your copy here: nctm.link/Impact
Quote from Kyndall Brown - Aguirre’s, Martin’s, and Mayfield’s expanded edition of The Impact of Identity in K-12 Mathematics: Rethinking Equity-Based Practices calls into question the current educational obsession with mathematics standards in ways that causes us to pause and ask, ‘Are standards worthy of our students?’ They argue that standards need to support mathematical, social, and knowledge empowerment.

There are MANY reasons why being a teacher is exhausting. One big reason for me is interacting with 100+ different personalities throughout the day.

Manatee County group holds 'read-in' outside school board meeting, protesting new book removal...

So far, more than 70 books have either been restricted or removed from Manatee County schools, but some feel the new removal policy isn't fair.

US teachers on average spend 28 hours of their work week in face-to-face instruction. Finland? 21 hours. Japan? 18 hours. Who could have guessed that giving teachers more time time to plan, assess, give feedback, engage in professional learning, etc. would improve outcomes?
