My daughter calls me for help with the @khanacademy stupid math problems she has been assigned. 1) these are dumb!!! 2) what about the other kids whose parents are not math teachers???? Who do they call??? 3) Khan Academy doesn't replace a teacher
@youcubed@joboaler We’re trying to make a case for our district to purchase the Mathmatical Mindset curriculum for some 7/8 teachers to use. They would like to see some samples from the books. Any idea where we could find that?
It is the human right of every S to have a culturally responsive, high quality math ed and to graduate with all the opportunities a foundation in STEM provides !!! @TracyZager #mctmboom#BecomingMath Why does math continue to be THE gatekeeper for college?
Good habits we should encourage in our students
*Exercise and moving
*Eat dinner with family
*Sleep
*Extra curricular's
*Informal learning
Homework does not encourage any of these. #ditchhw
I can point to more "old' teachers who are doing amazing things than I can to teachers who think they are too old to learn ____. Age is not a variable for learning. Attitude is.
Thought for the day: Let’s stop putting the responsibility for our morale solely on the shoulders of building admin. We are all responsible for our own morale. Don’t allow others to have power over you...via #Culturize
Thought for the day: Strive for life-fit instead of balance. Finding a life-fit allows us to be forgiving of ourselves and to recognize there are ebbs and flows to life’s events. #culturize
Educators who wish to leave a lasting legacy understand, that before they can transform teaching & learning, they must first transform their belief systems. #CULTURIZE
