Productive struggle is key. Students can form their own connections. #MathWhys

I’m a relationship educator! I love being self-contained for this reason. Next year, I will be a part of a departmental team. Please share suggestions for building relationships while sharing students...

@mradamwelcome Already passed it on to a friend! FYI-always a learner and connected to every part of KDI. I just finished my 36 year as a servant in public education 🤗

Just finished Ch4: Never Slam the Door. This past year I had several “that students”. But we had the best FAMILY! #KidsDeserveIt

Creative way to celebrate! My students select how they want to celebrate. Out of the blue-decided they wanted me to teach “art class” since that had been my dream about 50 years ago! #KidsDeserveIt #whywisd #mmeroos

@momentum79 I just used this topic-more math time for fun-as I modeled writing an opinion essay with my 4th graders!

A6 Continued: Change in purpose-to: address misconceptions; rephrase; change models; have students show understanding in a different manner; build confidence; explain vocabulary; provide extension... #MIPbookstudy

[Paula Turnbow @PaulaTurnbow]

A6 Change in delivery: whole group; small group; or, one-to-one #MIPbookstudy

[Paula Turnbow @PaulaTurnbow]

A5 (continued) Analyzing written responses or explanations as part of "researching". #MIPbookstudy

[Paula Turnbow @PaulaTurnbow]

A5 My favorite formative assessment is similar to the research phase of reading/writing workshop: observe the student(s) as they work-noticing what they CAN do, and have a conversation depending on any needs-reteaching, guidance, clarification, extension... #MIPbookstudy

[Paula Turnbow @PaulaTurnbow]

A3 A4 Model and expect precise math language during oral or written responses for clarifying, justifyng, supporting, checking for understanding, thinking aloud/notes, sharing, etc. #MIPbookstudy

[Paula Turnbow @PaulaTurnbow]

A3 Have a climate that expects talk: supportive, take risks, student-led, teacher-led and variety of opportunities (whole-class discussions, collaborative groups, partners, presentations) #MIPbookstudy

@MathMelanie10 Just got a refresher with learning styles from Kristi G.!

[Paula Turnbow @PaulaTurnbow]

A1 Different models help students see concepts in ways that may deepen understanding and/or connect with a learning style. #mipbookstudy #roomath

[Paula Turnbow @PaulaTurnbow]

A2 My favorite models is the open number lines and place value charts with base-ten blocks. #roomath #mipbookstudy
