Good school culture is not the result of a lot of gimmicks… it is the result of a bunch an adults motivated to do what is best for kids.
So proud of my girl and her beautiful new book!! A must read for any elementary educator, counselor, therapist, etc. What a beautiful way to describe and articulate feelings! #SEL

Why smart people often do stupid things: Intelligence isn't a substitute for wisdom.
Intelligence is the capacity to learn. Wisdom is converting learning into good judgment.
Using brainpower requires willpower. It takes self-control to choose future gains over current impulses.

Freebie alert! Many teachers ask *exactly* what a sequence of lessons might look like to boost conceptual transfer. Here are a ton of samples that are included in our Instructional Design course.

Me: Man… if only there were a guide for supporting UDL in the math classroom

Ahhh! I was accepted to my doctoral program today! I am one of nine who will be in my cohort, and I’m honored to have been selected. My work will be in mathematics education, and I just can’t wait to get started!! #justjumpinanddoit #knowbetterdobetter
Had the amazing privilege of hangin’ with Shelley Moore (@tweetsomemoore) today! Shelley - you’re a gift to the world. Today inspired and reminded us of our why - so grateful for your voice in this educational landscape!
… and I’ll say it again - Math can change the world 🌎 💕
Thank you @LanaSteiner4 for this beautiful message!
Still thinking about NCTM in DC and what an incredible experience it was this year! If you went- what was your favorite new learning? I honestly can’t choose one, but seeing so many amazing speakers preaching engaging and equitable instructional practice makes my heart sing!

There is a cost to lead. True leaders are willing to pay the price: sacrifice self-interest and put their Cause ahead of themselves.

Leaders- answer these questions
Every. Single. Day.
What did you do to promote student learning?
What did you do to support your teachers and staff?
Every Student (Every Teacher). Every Day. Whatever It Takes!

I'm super excited to share that my @GrassrootsWS mini-workshop on HOW TO USE VISUAL PATTERNS is now available! I share everything I know and love about VPs in this 6-lesson self-paced course.
Please take a look and I'm grateful for your spreading the word

Are our students problem solving … or mimicking procedures coded as “word problems”?
I recently had the privilege of attending a training by @fawnpnguyen , and I love the simple way she describes problem solving: “Problem solving is what you do when you don’t know what to do.”
