@alicekeeler Either that or we are all math people. Being good at math is not something you are either born with or not. Given time, effort, and desire we can all learn to use math in amazing ways.
To all the educators out there... trying to get some feedback:
What is something you’ve learned from a #student that has had a significant impact on either your professional or personal life?
Please reply and then retweet.

@justintarte The most important things I teach them everyday have almost nothing to do with my specific content - to keep trying, to never give up, grit, celebrate the moment
Love this graphic. Too often we think being asked to change means we are wrong; maybe it really means there is something better just didn’t know. If we all approach pd this way, we may all find something to take away from it that benefits our students and us.
1. Grading is, always has been, and always will be subjective - and we don't have to apologize for that.
2. Grades are not essential for learning, feedback is.
3. Grades in most high schools are with us for the foreseeable future so we must make them effective. #mohawkedchat
It’s okay for every lesson to not be perfect. Sometimes the best made plans and ideas will fail, go with it. Today’s failures can become tomorrow’s successes.
@alicekeeler Practice has its time and place in learning, but it doesn’t have to be done at home, doesn’t need to be the same for everyone, and shouldn’t determine a student’s final grade.
