Thank you @gfletchy for a great conversation with over 50 teachers from Lyme/Old Lyme today! It was like Christmas came early for us.

The kids in our schools have remarkable talents that are often untapped by traditional curriculum and traditional pedagogy. Props to the teachers who work outside the box in order to create opportunities for ALL their students to thrive.

Kids are so much more than their ADHD! #HackingSchoolDiscipline

#ThoughtForTheDay Whether we are coaching adults or coaching students, let’s give more time for reflection by asking more Q’s. We don’t always need to tell people what they should be doing differently. . #Culturize

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

We worry a lot about missing assignments, but maybe we should worry even more about missing skills and content knowledge.

We need to be about demonstration of learning, not just the compliance of doing a task.

Good question: Can the "gradual release of responsibility" (Pearson & Gallagher, 1983) be applied to coaching? #CoachEd2019

Here's my 3 sentence blog post:

1) Word problems do not exist in real life outside of school.

2) We teach students strategies for solving word problems like Three reads and CUBES.

3) Students will never use strategies like Three reads or CUBES in real life outside of school.

[Robert Kaplinsky @robertkaplinsky]

As a student, I was a math robot. I could answer problems without understanding the story of math and how the different concepts connected to one another. Now I see math teachers' job as telling the story of mathematics. https://t.co/K6tm2zADm6 #iteachmath #MTBoS

The reason I keep fighting the memorization of math facts as a predictor of math potential.

"Some Ss are not good memorizers. These Ss do not have less mathematics potential and often they are Ss who think creatively and visually, have strong reasoning and logic, and who could contribute greatly to the discipline of mathematics." @joboaler https://t.co/gXxeQIW5hO
