Five years ago when I started this website for #eurekamath teachers, I had no clue whether it was going to be helpful. That question was cleared up today when I noticed that our videos were viewed 100,000 times in the past 48 hours. Dang.

It’s important to bear in mind that cultivating an engaging distance learning experience is hard. It takes time and an incredible amount of patience. If you are new to the experience, you’re probably going to feel like a first-year teacher again. That’s OK!https://t.co/GmnvW686m7
Gaps in access to technology and support at home are major. Trauma and anxiety are spiking. That means a large % of students will not be able to engage in any type of distance learning. We need to prepare for loss of learning time.

“Teachers are attuned to the social-emotional wellbeing of our students...Yet we are still just learning how to discuss a huge, lurking threat to our work: our own mental health.” --Henry Seton, High School Teacher https://t.co/Z2InPdmnqi
“When we pay attention to each other we breathe new life into each other. With frequent attention and affection our relationships flourish, and we as individuals grow wiser and stronger. We help heal each other’s wounds and support each other’s growth.” https://t.co/pKEhfuX7qN
"Quality education is about relationships. Caring teachers who understand child development and who know and are attuned to the children in their care are far more important than many of the measures of quality we use today." (via @edutopia) https://t.co/a2n8xn4X1l
Check out this thoroughly researched and well-documented piece on what the science says about how kids learn to read from @educationweek and @LianaLoewus@SarahDSparks@s_e_schwartz Don't miss all the links and notes! Great resource for teachers/schools https://t.co/Vrp7o6JjSg
Want students to remember something? Ask them to draw it. Research shows that drawing concepts is better than simply writing notes, viewing images, or listening to lectures. A recent @edutopia video I worked on.
