Big thank you to @gcouros for making me rediscover my passion for teaching. I’ve found myself dragging lately, and taking the time to reread #TheInnovatorsMindset for a course has helped me get excited about planning lessons again

In summation of those student quotes, my students are the best, this year is going to be awesome and anything is possible!

[Mr. Tira @MikeTira]

Said to me today by a student: “Mr. T, I finally feel like I’m getting good at math. I can’t wait for this year!”

[Mr. Tira @MikeTira]

Said to me today by a student: “Mr. T, you’re like a Disney Channel teacher”

[Mr. Tira @MikeTira]

Said to me be a student today: “Mr. Tira, can I sit by N? I know he struggles with the English and I want to help him since I speak Spanish.”

[Mr. Tira @MikeTira]

I haven’t been this excited to start a school year since last year!
But seriously, so excited to see my students, the first class I’ve looped with.

Is there anything more relevant to education than a relationship between learner and learning? #BetterTogetherCA #SanDiego

[Mr. Tira @MikeTira]

How do we transform our schools from teaching > learning to a group and institution of collaborative learners? #BetterTogetherCA #SanDiego

[Mr. Tira @MikeTira]

Thrilled and ready for #bettertogetherca! #sandiego

Wanting to use interactive notebooks in my #middleschool #math classroom. Would love ideas on how to make it work! @AVID4College

[Mr. Tira @MikeTira]

Coming off the high of the end of school and starting to think about planning for next year. Trying to figure how to best plan physical tools for students (notebooks, the classroom itself). They're entering Tira round 2. Gotta one up myself. How? Help! #middleschool #edchat #math

[Mr. Tira @MikeTira]

Hey #edtech does anyone know of a chrome extension/app for making podcasts?

[Mr. Tira @MikeTira]

Starting to prep for @AVID4College Summer Institute, and now I’m somehow even more excited for Summer!

[Mr. Tira @MikeTira]

Hey, @chrisemdin I just left your talk and now I'm trying to find the #HidHopEd book to buy. I have a preference for print books. Is there a link from which I can purchase this?

[Mr. Tira @MikeTira]

We, as teachers, are trying to sell a product that our consumers don't want to buy. How do we convince them that what we're selling is worth it? #sparksd

[Mr. Tira @MikeTira]

All: please help out my classroom create awesome creations by donating!

Looking for ideas of texts to create discussions about populations and sampling in a 7th Grade Math Class. Any ideas? #edchat #math #mathchat #middleschool

@cultofpedagogy I print a copy of math worksheets ripped from online utilities and repurpose problems when I want to do small group intervention with certain groups of students all the time. Sometimes I make concept packets to use and subject them to a Cornell Note process of repeated reference.
