Talking?! On an assessment day?!? 🤯This instructional strategy was AWESOME to see in action as students are allowed to collaborate on an assessments (leaving their pencil ✏️ at their desk) to clear up misconceptions and lessen test anxiety!

Our @ProsperISD teachers are amazing.

Learning about consolidating from the bottom. Such great conversation about eliciting student thinking. #buildingthinkingclassrooms

[Caitlin Kirk @ckirkmath]

@MATHster_Jedi gave such a compelling talk about lowering student anxiety during assessments by having them COLLABORATE. Love this idea and how it contributes to #buildingthinkingclassrooms

Shifting from "best practices" to "expansive notions of good teaching" leaves room for teaching to be discussable. Thank you @ilana_horn for this distinction. @MathEdLeaders #NCSM2022

[Caitlin Kirk @ckirkmath]

In order to say that kids don't need algorithms, we have to be really clear about the understanding they DO need. Thank you @pwharris for modeling this well for us! @MathEdLeaders #NCSM2022

Reflecting on the cognitive investment in our vision for math education with @toncheff5 "what actions align with the shared vision?" is such a great question to think deeply about. @MathEdLeaders #NCSM2022

"Small change is no change," I'm so proud to work with @ProsperISD math teachers who have made BIG CHANGES in the name of learning. #boldmathematics @MathEdLeaders @pgliljedahl #NCSM2022

Students can't be present if we keep reminding them of the future. #NCSM2022 @pgliljedahl

[Caitlin Kirk @ckirkmath]

When students encounter challenge on the heels of success, that's when perseverance is developed. Perseverance is not a trait, it's a state. @pgliljedahl #NCSM2022

[Caitlin Kirk @ckirkmath]

The more the teacher talks the less students think. @pgliljedahl #NCSM2022
