"This past year has further solidified that re-imagining what it means to help is necessary. The idea of co-development is needed for solutions because people of the land know their land better than anyone else." - @nikkitulley, @UAIndigeFewss

Thanks @joboaler “And we’ve found over the years that the traditional approach to teaching maths—I’m just going to show you methods; you’re going to accept them and use them—is incompatible with the identities kids want, particularly around adolescence.”

K-5 teachers, do you need free STEM clock hours? Attend OSPI’s 'K-5 Essential Question Units and Resources Workshop' to learn about bundling standards into fewer units, and where to find freely available instructional resources to make it happen!
