Learning with @wordtorque is truly wonderful. Every time I work with Fiona, I learn something new which I can add to my classroom the next day.

Did you know there's a reason for every letter in a word?

@teacher2teacher Having impossible puzzles 🧩 for students to solve. They do this as a soft start to the day, early finisher or whenever they need to take break & have some mindfulness.

❤️ this time of year. G2 Ss are thrilled to see all their hard work come alive as their ‘Small Moment’ stories are told thru crank machines that they built from scratch. Great tie to self-awareness unit as Ss use a number of tools independently when building. #makered @kispride

New Video. Multiplication is very important. This past summer I wrote a student workbook - every student needs their own copy. I designed it in such a way that I could use the graphics to make videos for teachers. This is the first one.

In 2015, my team began considering how we plan for literacy through a lens on #inquiry. In 2018 I developed this model to support teachers who were asking the same thing. It's ever evolving and just one approach, but I still love how oral language is such an integral part (1/2)

[Teachers of Maths @ATMMathematics]

Fantastic resource for teachers, Pattern Blocks by @Simon_Gregg Activities to address key areas of the curriculum, with geometrical and proportional reasoning skills pupils need to succeed in maths later on. Take a look inside https://t.co/G7g6GnTHLw

Phase 1 of The Coach had us finding clarity in our #coaching programs. To formalise my vision, I began by defining all of the conditions which are essential to me, before trying (repeatedly) to condense that into a vision statement. #workinprogress #coachbetter #educoach
