We are ready to kick off another amazing year @BellaireHigh, a TEA A-rated campus! A huge shout out to our teachers and staff who have meticulously prepared for the start of the school year and are ready to welcome back our students! ๐
Rest in peace @druinok. You were an amazing dedicated math educator whose influence was felt across the country. You were one of my biggest sounding boards during virtual learning and your Saturday Zoom meet-ups helped me emotionally during that time. I will miss you, Shelli. ๐
New blog post! "Find Your (Math) People" -- about the vitally important connections we make w/other teachers.
Be a buddy, find your groups, and carry on the legacy of @druinok who left us too soon.

Who says retrieval practice is boring!?! Make it competitive and collaborative. Students will eat it up like in this โNotecard Retrieval Chainโ where they had to retrieve three causes, effects, and solutions for deforestation in the Amazon with each student adding one new detail.

Dear Texans,
Trump is going to take away Special Ed funding and Title 1 funding.
Abbott is going to take away public school funding when he passes vouchers.
75% of Rural counties do not have private schools.
Pub Schools are the top employers.
Doesn't sound good for Rural Tx.
None of the school voucher programs in other states are working.
Florida has seen student outcomes decline.
Arizona's school voucher bureaucracy is plagued by fraud and hemorrhaging money.

To teach is to show or explain how to do something.
I can plan to teach a lesson.
I teach the lesson.
But that doesn't guarantee learning.
If I design for learning instead, I will have made all the purposeful & intentional choices required to produce evidence of learning.
