Math teacher, gamer, nerd. Looking for ways to keep learning engaging and students excited about learning.

Wrapped up the annual #dataretreat with the team @MosineeHigh and @CESA9. My big takeaway and food for thought: "People don't buy into initiatives, they buy into people." How do we as leaders help teachers move forward?

Average leaders give people something to work on. Great leaders give people something to work for.

2020-21 @MosineeHigh Data Retreat - creating goals for the upcoming year based upon previous data

When you realize the @google_meet and @bigbluebutton have mirrored cameras while you wait for students to join video chats. #TalkingToMyself #TeachingDuringCovid #NewNormal #DigitalLearning

Thanks to the folks @NTCNews for an excellent day hosting @mosineeschools to help Ss become college and career ready!

This is what happens when your Ss are trying to memorize the quadratic formula.

We ended up using tables to try to find the point of intersection. Had a conversation about the similarities between the data points. Was a good transition from graphing into linear functions unit.

[Scott Strand @MrScottStrand]

Ss were so engaged in problem solving they got out of their seats and NEEDED to be at the screen to debate and estimate when these two lines would intersect. I've never been forced out so that they could just teach each other.

It was an honor to be selected by a student for tonight's Educator Appreciation Night for @MosineeHigh's soccer game. These young men fought hard at both the JV and Varsity level. Keep up the great work!

[Scott Strand @MrScottStrand]

@mrnerdstrom Oh boy. For reference, that was the year before you started at the Jr High. Times have changed.

Day 2 of STEM Exploratorium: Spaghetti and marshmallow towers. Lots of great conversation about forces, rectangles, triangles, but most importantly that failure is okay! #summerschool #STEM #pugshot

[Scott Strand @MrScottStrand]

These two @MosineeHigh Ss did a great job finishing out their events. Both took 1st in the 100m. Another great @SpecialOlympics day!

[Scott Strand @MrScottStrand]

Lots of great competition today w/ @SpecialOlympics WI. Congrats to the @MosineeHigh team for all those medals!

Processing a conversation yesterday when a student said, "I get it now." If you try to develop understanding first, should you expect delays in developing fluenecy and is that okay? Frustrating from a student view, but potentially longer lasting overall. Thoughts? #mathchat

[Scott Strand @MrScottStrand]

Working on review for #quadratics for #algebra. Digital notecards using #GoogleSlides. Ss are assigned vocab and need to define, show multiple representations, and find resources to learn. Looking for feedback https://t.co/8F8564MKpg

@MrsAnnaStrand Came across @XpatEducator today and he has a dropbox FULL of #ELA ideas you might think are cool.

[Scott Strand @MrScottStrand]

Saturday morning PD includes listening to a conversation about #engagement #growthmindset #mentalhealth with @danhaesler. Thought I'd try out @XpatEducator's podcast #TheStaffroom while continuing to practice my needle work. #cantstop #wontstop
