"Placing more emphasis on students' explanations requires teachers to relinquish some control over a lesson's direction. This can be a frightening prospect to a teacher who is unprepared to evaluate the validity of a novel idea that students propose." -JW Stigler & HW Stevenson

Transformation doesn't happen by chance It happens through consistency via carefully chosen decisions moving in a deliberate direction Choose wisely & walk steadily

Mathematical clarity doesn't happen because someone else gives you a set of steps to blindly follow. Clarity happens when we sit with our confusion. When we take time to make sense of our ideas. And when we can reflect.

Learning Targets are a tool to use. Posting them out of compliance does NOTHING for learning. Create them, use them, let them drive the clarity of the learning that gets you 0.85 effect size or 2+ years' learning potential. Otherwise, don't bother.
