This list has changed a lot since it was first used two years ago.

What if we pay closer to how we talk about/describe students?

Open Middle problems are a great way for students to do more THINKING in math, strategizing, and ENJOYING math more.

As long as the phone is available, the student will be tempted to use it for comfort when experience the uncomfortable process of learning. As a result, that student doesn't then achieve a level of competence that builds up enough confidence for them to try the next step.

Today I sat down with a student who hasn’t done anything in class so far (7 days in). All I told him was that I will give him feedback and another shot on it no matter what.

Guess who turned in something today.

It highlighted something important for me.

Here are 4 sketchnotes of the 4 toolkits from @pgliljedahl's #thinkingclassroom.

These versions now have a better citation of the book.

I hope they inspire discussion about how to make learning more accessible to more students!

Transitioning to the new Gr 9 Destreamed Math Course, @mikeskeoch and the Gr 9 course team @HaydenHuskies jumped on the opportunity to go ungraded, refocusing on learning and not marks. Read about his journey on the blog. #HDSBInnovates #Ungrading https://t.co/AUnMfoRHYp
