Not all your students come to class wanting to learn… but they all come wanting to belong. And when they feel like they belong… they’re much more likely to learn.

@PresidentPat @ASCD No, thank you! It was exactly the level of vulnerability we need to be asking our new teachers (and those that support them) to show!

[Jacob Power @TeachPowerful]

.@PresidentPat just fired up my day with a call to action to support new teachers and their authentic stories, as we ask them to model the world we want to create for our students. Thank you, @ASCD. That changed my day.

Wanna start an argument in your class? Ask them to choose and defend their answer to whether this scenario is fair BEFORE doing any calculations.

Your S's don't need people to "keep it real" with them. Their life is real enough. They need people who encourage them to recognize their own curiosity.

@TheBromenator That's awesome, Makeda!

[Jacob Power @TeachPowerful]

The @StLucieSchools team has shown up in force at the #FLBESTJourney training. Grateful to our hosts @EducationFL @collierschools and @GCSharks.

Key takeaway from #FCTM2021:

As often as possible, we should be asking Ts and Ss for the WHY.

What is a big global question about equity, truth and humanity that the mathematics allows us to engage with?

Just a consideration: The hearing on FL's Executive Order forcing schools to reopen brick & mortar is being conducted on Zoom. So the court can decide it's not safe to meet in a courtroom, but schools can't decide it's not safe to open the building.

Read this thread.

[Soledad O'Brien @soledadobrien]

Want to be an ally? Call out racism and bigotry loud and clearly when you see it. Don’t let people get with it.

[Jacob Power @TeachPowerful]

This. All of this.

Read it. Then stop, re-read it and consider what that looks like.

Is that how the children in your school see you?

[Jacob Power @TeachPowerful]

For me, it's from @chrisemdin. Are we modeling our instructional practices on images of "good teachers" or on experiences with transformative humans? Are we looking outside the model for the people doing the real work, the pastors/barbers/MC's?

Education family: Where are you getting your learning today? And what did you learn? #MTBoS #iteachmath

I'm really hoping that one day I can be this lady.

Can't resist. (This is nuts...)
Wish some of my Tweets about keeping school buildings closed during a pandemic got this kind of response...

This is essential, whether teaching virtually or in brick & mortar campuses.

Create a classroom that is a microcosm of the world you want to live in and not a replication of the one we currently have #HipHopEd #PeaceLoveUnityFun

@AllostEricSite I maintain that my numeracy/pattern seeking is what it is because of growing up playing cribbage with a grandmother who pulled no punches. I see 15's everywhere now!
