Interested in how HOPE transforms learning for everyone. Lucky to teach at OBHS, Educational Consultant, Teaching Mentor, Speaker, Founder Mathbeacon,

When we make learning a competition, what are we teaching students about learning? Don't we want all our students to learn/master the outcomes. Retakes send a message & opportunity that learning is ongoing and that mastery is accessible to all. #sd61learn @joboaler #iteachmath

Thanks, Peter, for giving me the opportunity to help clarify these issues. I hope readers find it helpful!

I can’t stop laughing and smiling at this. I asked ChatGPT to write the 10 commandments of instructional design.

1/7 As the years go by, fewer educators hear about one of the most important research findings of the 20th century, known as the Eight-Year Study.
Back in the '30s, 30 high schools around the U.S. turned traditional practice on its head, especially for college-bound students...

Let's always keep this in mind.

Good Morning Whistler, I am over the moon to be sharing this morning about elevating classrooms to communities. I don't want kids to come to my math class, I want them to belong to it! #BCAMTbelong ,#maths, #iteachmath, #sd61learn, #classroom2community, #community

[@timothyspray @TimothySpray]

Super excited to be in Whistler at the BCAMT conference & working with such great people. I am looking forward to presenting "Stop Teaching Math" I hope no one listens to my presentation title. 😉 #stopteachingmath, #BCAMTbelong,#Iteachmath, #sd61learn,#maths, #hope

@Desmos Thanks @desmos!!!!!!

[@timothyspray @TimothySpray]

@desmos can you help my student Gavin. He has made this amazing image with over 200 lines of code and added shading. Parts of the shading are not showing up. The math is correct. Any ideas? https://t.co/8fxSsM0G53

The goal of assessment is not to rank students or determine who is best, but rather to help ALL students improve and do their best. #sd61learn, #math, #iteachcalculus, #bcamt, #iteachmath #standardsbasedgrading, #assessment

[@timothyspray @TimothySpray]

We love @desmos. Hey desmos, any chance you can add a feature to darken minor grid lines. When I create a paper task with a desmos graph, it is sometimes hard for students to see the lines. Maybe you have already created this feature and I don't know about it. Thank you

My daughter and I surviving the night in Ukraine. We are real people at war with crazy dictator and we need the world’s support right now

@d_martin05 I love this conversation. The point of school is to support all students to success. Students learn at different rates. We use the final exam time for students to focus only on what they have not mastered yet and then allow them to improve. #sd61learn

[𝘋𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯 @d_martin05]

With the cancellation of diploma exams again, we should ask “what is the purpose of final exams?”

For me, finals were simply an excercise in confirming information I already knew. Hence why I stopped giving them and made my “final” into a celebration of learning.

@alicekeeler Whoops … when OUR bodies are moving, our brains are moving

[@timothyspray @TimothySpray]

@alicekeeler Sitting is the new smoking. Kids sit way too much in our schools. Math especially lends itself to active learning : whiteboards , windows, wipeboards… When are bodies are moving our brains are moving.
