"Am I A Color Too?" By Heidi Cole and Nancy Vogl is my 'new-to-you' favorite book because it is written through the lens of a person who is not always heard from. Many students will be able to relate to this text and see themselves in it. This book is diverse and anti biased, and

I will "Live out loud" my children's literature declaration by continuing to search out wonderful books for children, and by being as excited, or even more excited about new books than my students are!

you are teaching mathematics. Every student learns in different ways, and has different experience that they relate to their mathematical learnings. @edu3610css

Math centers are a place for students to explore different math concepts. They are a way for students to get engaged in their learning and to obtain new understandings and ideas of concepts. Good centers are well structured, instructed, and relevant. #edu3610css

@SimonetteKaylyn We were talking about this a bit in our field experience class the other day! My last CT did something similar and math was always fun, and always new to the students! I love the concept of math centers, and giving students the independence to chose how they want to learn.

@teresa199704 That looks like so much fun, I know if I were in her classroom an activity like that is one that I would remember forever!

https://t.co/e9M8ulRGTd One tip for teachers to help their students develop a growth mindset is prepare everyone. Everyone, even the math wiz, is going to get stuck sometimes! It's up to us to help students understand that they ARE smart enough, and they can do it! #edu2610css

During this question time students are not only encouraged to voice their questions for discussion, but for the students who rather not speak out they are given the opportunity to write down their question anonymously! #edu2610css

[KrfLearning @FraserKalley]

Establishing a question friendly culture in your classroom is so important. Not only does it help students grow with their ability to discuss with other people, but it also gives them a voice. One idea I loved was having a "question" time during class...(cont..) #edu2610css

@teresa199704 I agree Teresa! Relationships with students are so important! It's important that they trust you and feel comfortable with you. I feel like without a good relationship you tend to lose them.

@MenkMrs Creating a good classroom community is a huge key in all of these factors! If students feel safe and welcomed in their classroom community they will be already well set up to meet of all these equity goals!
