Students worldwide are struggling right now. With summer just around the corner, this is a nice reminder that things are not normal yet. Compassion and grace go a long way, and its okay to change expectations. nytimes.com/interactive/2022…
My 15th graduation ceremony as an educator. I'll never stop being proud of them. Congrats #classof2022 #acsammanjordan #jerash

A new type of typeface might be beneficial to neurodivergent readers! 🤯
It's called bionic reading — the first few letters are bolded, making it easier for readers to glide through text and stay focused.

Loving this talk on #unfinishedlearning and equity at #NCTMVC21 With so many variables at play for students, this is such an important topic for math teachers! #iteachmath
15 years later and students still enjoy this simple card sort to better see the connections between functions and the graphs of their derivatives. I love listening to their math vocab while they work. #iteachmath #acsamman #apcalculus
This was a great way to learn about the school culture at my new school. I'm very excited to be working here! #acsamman #firstdayofschool
I am so thankful for the lovely welcome from #acsamman After a long flight, it was such a comfort to be dropped off at our new home and find dinner waiting, a stocked fridge, and clean linens on the beds. We are off to a positive start! @dtswanson

"Instead of saying “Great!” or “Fine,” imagine if we answered, “Honestly, I’m languishing.” It would be a refreshing foil for toxic positivity — that quintessentially American pressure to be upbeat at all times." nytimes.com/2021/04/19/well/…
My seniors finished their last day of HS yesterday. I've been with that class for the past three years, and I am going to miss them dearly. I'm so thankful to have had such a wonderful group to go through the ups and downs of the last year with. They are incredible people.

Please allow me to give a vulnerable and sad update. My daughter now suffers depression from failure--in which she attributes 75% to school. She feels she has no identity or purpose in life. That she isn't good enough...even though she loves math and art.
I just finished recording the final lesson for my #aahl #ibmath course on #edpuzzle. Two years of HL content. Over 20 hours of video. I can't believe I made it! #flippedclassroom #remotelearning #iteachmath #acsabudhabi
