@KernCMC@joboaler Focusing on students growth, manageable goals, and providing positive feedback will keep students interested and engaged.

@KernCMC@joboaler I encourage parents to share only positive messages with regards to mathematics and to involve their children in the daily use of mathematics as appropriate for the child's age.

@KernCMC@joboaler Many of my middle school students have a belief that it is pointless for them to try in math. As a teacher I consider it my responsibility to design experiences to capture their interest and enable them to experience success in these interactions.

@KernCMC True leaders recognize these qualities in others and delegate accordingly; In doing so they make greater strides in accomplishing the mission. #HeartBookChat#KernMath
@KernCMC A6: I have the good fortune to be a part of two amazing teams (MMS 7th Math and KCMC). I learn a great deal from colleagues and am rejuvenated in our common purpose, shared responsibilities, and vision for the future we are fostering. #HeartBookChat#KernMath
@KernCMC A5: At any moment in time we all have a “To Do List” much too long to complete, making being present in all interactions challenging. I fight the good fight on a daily basis to accomplish that if nothing else in my day. #HeartBookChat#KernMath
@KernCMC A4: We all need to know our hard work is moving us in the right direction as a group and that our specific contributions have been instrumental in that progression; without this knowledge we may lose faith. #HeartBookChat#KernMath
@KernCMC A3: My personal improvement goal from Dr. Kanold’s list is seeking to understand the meaning and intent of the words of others. Too often I find myself prematurely and inaccurately anticipating the direction/meaning of others comments. #HeartBookChat#KernMath
@KernCMC A2: Dr. Kanold said it best lets agree to use common assessments, projects, homework, lesson elements… produced through the joint contributions of each team member. #HeartBookChat#KernMath
@KernCMC A1: As a group we accomplishing more than is possible for an individual, elevating each persons potential through incorporating the strengths of the group to their individual practice, and the development of friendships that develop in the process. #HeartBookChat#KernMath
@KernCMC A5: After 20ish years in education I feel as positive, energetic, and hopeful as I did in year 1. This hasn't been the case for every year. Be reflective of what is causing drift and change it. Seek out that which refreshes and inspires you. #kernmath#HeartBookChat#KernCMC
@KernCMC A4: I am a private person by nature. It seems (based on others reactions) this makes what I do share impactful. The stories I share are typically based on the listeners needs but then seem to strengthen our relationship as well. #kernmath#HeartBookChat#KernCMC
@KernCMC A3: I am currently part of a newly formed team with varying ranges of teaching experience. Some are experiencing the grade level and material for the first time. Our goal this year is to build a strong foundation for our PLC process. #kernmath#HeartBookChat#KernCMC
@KernCMC A2: Early in my career I took on too many demanding roles, endeavoring to give each role dynamics 1 energy. Years of this took it's toll. I drifted into quadrant IV. Now I am very particular about the roles I take on. #kernmath#HeartBookChat#KernCMC
@KernCMC A1: To maintain quadrant 1 dynamics it's important to be cognizant about what is in my sphere of control, stay focused and expend my energy on those things; rather than dwelling and brooding over what is out of my control.#kernmath#HeartBookChat#KernCMC
@KernCMC Q5: Mrs. Martinez my SHS counselor -personal commitment to each student, Dr. Haddad CSUB - every lesson should include excitement and appreciation for the beauty of mathematics, T. Arvizu at McFarland - work ethic and planning. #KernMath#HeartBookChat
@KernCMC Q4: I didn't choose education. It just took sometime to recognize that my natural interest and abilities were suited for teaching. #KernMath#HeartBookChat
@KernCMC I make a conscientious effort to be in the moment with them. Acknowledging and sharing in what is important to them as well as what the goals for our time together are. #KernMath#HeartBookChat
@KernCMC I hope to hold on to my passion in the difficult and challenging moments of the day to day teaching process. KCMC crew you are my rock. #KernMath#HeartBookChat
