#mtbos I'm looking for recommendations on a good social justice oriented book that would be a nice 'thank you' gift for a math teacher who's been giving it their all to disrupt a system that needs some disruption. Suggestions? #education #justice

For the first time since I've joined the profession, we have a chance to work on the plane while it's NOT flying. #potential youtube.com/watch?v=L2zqTYgc…

Messaging infiltrates early. I caught my 7-year-old reading this in Diary of a Wimpy Kid. How will this bit of pleasure reading influence what he thinks about math? About #testing? About school? What else has he read or heard that I won’t catch? #MTBoS

“no one expects math teachers to talk with the kind of fire, or to demand the kind of commitment and accountability, that football coaches do. But I wish they did.” - ⁦@JohnCUrschel⁩ nytimes.com/2019/05/11/opini…

Brilliant explanation showing how abstract mathematics can "help us to understand and empathize with other people." Thank you @DrEugeniaCheng! #equity #privilege #MTBoS ted.com/talks/eugenia_cheng_…

Nearly 400 young women from D65 were at Oakton Community College today to explore #STEM and their futures, with the loving support of over 100 volunteer STEM leaders. #gratitude – at Evanston, IL

The quickest way to change another person’s behavior is to change your behavior toward them. Hearts are changed through kindness, respect, patient actions, and encouraging words. #edchat #JoyfulLeaders

Working more doesn't mean working better. Productivity dramatically decreases with longer hours and drops off completely at 55 hours per week. On average, someone working 70 hours a week achieves no more than a colleague working 15 fewer hours. qz.com/work/1486863/

On the 3rd Day of #12DaysofTwitter #ICTMchat I tweeted sleepily... Though I only dabbled a bit as a teacher, I am a huge fan of Number Talks and Humphreys & Parker's routines for making them powerful. Getting D65 Ts to start with Dot Cards to build students' flexible thinking
