I’m exited to share at #CMCnorth2021 and my @CAMathCouncil friends this great session on Fostering experiences and understanding of Equity and Diversity in the math classroom. Come explore how bring students to see the important issues and how to bring appreciate both.
Good! As a proud @ucsc Slug I’m happy to see an antiquated, inequitable gatekeeper practice scuttled. Anything that gives rise to its own private side industry has no place in public education.
Now banish A-F grading in high school and we’ll really be cooking with gas.
@ecsaibel ...and mentorship, well, I think I can learn something from everyone but Eric, you are a mentor to me!! Your blog posts, Vox!!, Twitter, and IG. I’m watching and learning from - thank you!!
@ecsaibel Totally agree - personality, vulnerability, humility...and a genuine interest and curiosity in others! All others, in samesness and in difference. Leadership is not explicit, I kinda thought it was and now I know there is no real playbook. I just keep asking a lot of questions!!
#DearTeachers:
This week, & forever, you deserve an educational system that: invests in your wellness & happiness; understands your work reaps immeasurable benefits to society & pays you accordingly; ensures your voices inform policy in substantive ways. #TeacherAppreciationWeek
Acknowledgment is often in short supply, despite being a renewable resource that is free to give & accept.
It’s important to stay centered on the intrinsic value of our contributions; satisfaction is knowing we made a mark.
And we can be leaders in acknowledging others.
@MrZiebarth@zapkatyy@davidtedu @jcorippo @BrentGWarner @Scotteach @clonghb Struggling w this too! I thought I was crazy bc I couldn’t figure out how to SAVE groups. Sorting live takes forrrreverrrrr & I can’t imagine how incompetent I look to the Ss + families at home, mubbling while I’m sorting live, “I swear I did this last night!” THX for the hack!!
We teach students before curriculum. We reach souls before standards. We teach character before content. In that order or its not really teaching at all #HipHopEd#GoodTroubleEdu
@davidtedu@LS_Karl @nohatshanging @coachk@MrZiebarth Cutting edge! I remember that. It seemed so wild back then but really, right on point! Thank you for that!
@davidtedu How might we “look after each other?” How might that look in the reopening plan? For Ss, Ts, Admin and all school district employees.

@davidtedu Exactly. We have to figure funding into the equation. What is the most cost effective way to bring students back? That’s the question I’ve been kicking around...
