Philadelphia SD Math person who believes in a world where everyone has access to joyful, high quality math instruction. She/Her (tweets = my personal views)
@MrsRoseLam @abel_jennifer Hi! Could you explain more? What is the state working on? Also, maybe the newsletter you are receiving. Thank you so much! I’m in Philadelphia and should know these things…
Trying to create a professional learning experience that inspires leaders to prioritize #joy in mathematics. Looking for any and all inspiration from my #MTBoS community & any other brilliant educators (@GholdyM looking at you)! Videos, activities, ideas...send them my way :)
I am proud to be the Director of Social Studies for at @PHLschools, the first district in the nation to require African American History to graduate high school in 2005. The fact that the fascist @RonDeSantisFL is being awarded at the Union League is a slap in the face of Philly.
“‘He’s very slow.’ [His collaborator] thought they were wasting a lot of time on easy problems they already understood. But then he realized that Huh was learning even seemingly simple concepts in a much deeper way — and in precisely the way that would later prove useful.”
@positv_slope Yes! And they want to push more A1 into 8th grade with those numbers instead of changing one requirement? I’m seeing more equity issues and less joy in the coming years…
@pearse_margie @a_schindy @theresawills@RawdingMolly @MNmMath @AnnEliseRecord @SueOConnellMath I highly recommend buying this book if you don’t have it! I also find the GAISE report really interesting. https://t.co/l0UsvTVH5e
@pearse_margie @a_schindy @theresawills@RawdingMolly @MNmMath @AnnEliseRecord @SueOConnellMath I remember “teaching student centered mathematics, 6-8” mentions that statistical questions are questions about data where the context is crucial in answering the question. They have some examples too- I’m not near my book, but can say more tomorrow if that’s helpful.
Gerald Graff contends that it doesn't matter how radical and transgressive the content of your teaching is if the WAY you're teaching reflects the same old "pedagogical authoritarianism" - e.g., "failing to challenge the common assumption that teaching is a solo performance"
