My heart is full. Seeing students in my classroom today was so fulfilling. Oh, how I missed their presence.

I can’t help but wonder about the pros and cons of our recently retired as part of our mentor program...? @Naperville203

Excellent article in the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education about how much knowledge is lost when teachers retire😢What could we do to change this? ⁦@NCTM⁩ ⁦@IowaMathTeach⁩ ⁦@apriliowamath⁩ ⁦@Mathgarden⁩ ⁦@robertqberry⁩

Years ago, Ted Sizer urged us to shadow a high school student for at least a full day in order to really get a sense of what they experience. This teacher did so and was shaken by what she found: https://t.co/qC9heVjLEL

Here’s how to solve math problems by *reading* them.

[Lisa Young @LYoung_Minds]

@robertkaplinsky I have seen Ss who find a math process easy, but do not make the connection to the bigger idea of why - not simple. For example, solving an equation. Understanding the connection to the idea there is one solution for some, but then for others none or infinitely many.

7 metacognitive questions—teaching students to think about how they learn can boost preparedness (and performance). Recently edited for @edutopia; a similar piece on executive function coming soon!

See why the "I notice, I wonder" classroom practice is so effective, especially with students who learn at different rates. #HowLearningHappens

Social and emotional learning is ideally interwoven into classroom practices such that it would be hard to tell #SEL activities apart from other routines, writes @TeachinginHI for @edutopia https://t.co/4n7pSAwYTK #edchat #mschat
