I have come across an AMAZING whiteboard app for the math classroom.
It has infinite space and tons of flexibility. Great for group work. miro.com/ #miro #MTBoS @MarkChubb3 @TAnnalet @pgliljedahl

Amen! It’s long overdue that we shift Title 1 funding from marginally trained aides to trained math coaches. Our mantra needs to be: One math coach for every two reading coaches and no more genetic coaches!
🔥 HOT TAKE 🔥:
Most schools have multiple reading specialist, but it seems like many schools don't have the same for mathematics.
If the US wants to close the gap on mathematics with other countries we should spend the same effort on math as well do reading. #iteachmath

Parents. @jkenney and @AdrianaLaGrange aren't listening to teachers. WE NEED YOUR HELP to write them physical letters sent through the mail. Need help? I gotcha! Use these sentences to help write your own letter and add your thoughts. #abed #abpoli #ableg docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Great article. "What do we stand to lose from reducing incidences of words like reason, think, apply, connect, understand?" There are many students who understand but struggle to memorize. Math is about concepts not memorization. #abed #abcurriculum #MTBoS

Reasoning shouldn’t be something that is vilified in our classrooms. Building connections will always be more important than rote memorizing. #ableg #abed #edchat
Reasoning always before memorizing! She didn’t know the answer from memory, but relied on a fact she knew. And she applied the inverse relationship between addition & subtraction. Makes my heart sing. ListeningToLearn.com #MTBoS

Alberta’s teachers are going it on their own and they intend to teach Jason Kenney a lesson.
Given the concerns about the new curriculum from this UCP Government, can you blame them?
