Cannot believe this is a real email! I’ve been awarded the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching from Texas in Mathematics! Thank you all who’ve helped push me along the way! #PAEMST #iteachmath #STEMed
At the beginning of the year, Ss set goals. Each wk, we revisit w/ a smaller one
“My goal for the week is to… One habit I will try this week is… so that…”
We post them on our door so Ss see goals coming & going. On Fri, they reflect! #PBLchat

I’m heading to @NCTM in Denver this month! ✈️
Come join me:
📐 Collaborative Performance Tasks: Making Assessment a Practice for Learning
Session 456
📐 Practice Makes Progress: Designing Pathways for Equitable Math Learning
Session 586.2

Knows & Need to Knows are a simple PBL routines.
Ss surface what they already know, name what they need to figure out, & help move the learning forward.
As a teacher, I get a much clearer picture of where S’s are starting.

I tried Lots of Dots & I observed Ss
✨ making sense of math
✨ collaborating & building on ideas
✨ reasoning & explaining
✨ staying focused
I used this to establish what work time looks & sounds like.
Thanks @math__medic !

Pre-order is LIVE! 📖
One of my favorite parts of writing this book was revisiting one of my Algebra 1 projects & seeing it through a different lens.

Tough week? Draw something. ✏️
We spent a few minutes passing drawings around and adding to each other’s work.
The results were ridiculous. The laughter was needed.
Sometimes that’s the team building we need. ❤️

A little surreal to see someone else tell the story of your work.
Grateful to The Educator’s Room for this feature on my work in math education, PBL, STEM, and belonging.
Opening Doors and Building Belonging. That’s the work.

Excited to share that I’ve been elected as the Secondary School Representative on the Board of the Council of Presidential Awardees in Mathematics.
Looking forward to serving this community, learning alongside outstanding mathematics educators, & contributing to the work ahead.
Had the chance to join the TeacherGuard podcast to talk about teaching, innovation, healthy risks, & leading through uncertainty.
1 takeaway: sustainable change depends as much on when we introduce ideas as what those ideas are.
