There are so many of us.

Always. . .

@helfrederick @CAMathCouncil Loved your session and am trying to track down resources. Will you share the number systems and student challenges?

[Shannon Hoos @fearlessmath]

@DrJessTaylor Yes

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

Many complex trauma survivors get triggered by disapproval, not because we're "thin skinned"-- but because approval, disapproval, acceptance, & rejection were wielded by abusers to control us.

Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

[Aimee Byrd @aimeebyrdPYW]

I read this and had to pause & receive it.
This is one of the more painful realities after facing abuse. The way people go on as if you are over-reacting, or it's safe for them so it can't be that bad. The pressure to make nice & pretend.
The enabling.

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

It’s crazy how often a person is judged for being estranged from someone who put them survival mode.

So aside: My concern is with my own background: white American conservative evangelicals. If you want to know about other churches, ask

🧵Why Christians Have a Hard Time Believing it’s Actually Wrong to Sexually Abuse a Child, as Long as Another Christian Does It.

Okay, this is a hyperbolic title. I will be told this is a straw man. Fair! I do try to avoid extreme statements about religion because I do think

Teachers,

RT this if it is impossible for you get your grading, planning, parent/guardian outreach and all other additional requirements (on top teaching) completed during your contractual hours.

Just curious.

Mistakes should be greeted as welcomed guests, not intruders. #Project180

Thread: A slow weekend turned interesting when a student at Columbia, in response to a tweet suggesting the SAT and ACT were "good, actually" posted this chart.

[Annie Perkins @anniek_p]

Nope nope nope.

Do not do this. Just don’t.

Write better assessments.

Your goal is to learn what Ss understand. If they can google the answer, it’s a poor assessment.

Those are harder to write & grade. I freely concede. But THIS is cruel, invasive, unacceptable.

@writeandteach I've found that Ss will engage with @PearDeck because it is embedded when they will not click to follow links to other apps. Same holds true for @polleverywhere

[Shannon Hoos @fearlessmath]

@ddmeyer Basic psychology tells us that behavior is simply am expression of belief, so yes: if we want real behavioral changes, then we have to address it as an issue of beliefs. That takes relationships. And those take time.

@MrsJeniseSexton @LaraMathcalf I use Camtasia.

[Shannon Hoos @fearlessmath]

This makes me happy. Thanks @erinfraser312!

[Shannon Hoos @fearlessmath]

I am dismayed by how many people are talking about #equity and yet go on to talk about how kids just need to do their HW. How is HW not an issue of #accessandequity? #CMCmath

[Shannon Hoos @fearlessmath]

Thanks for your sweet comment! Please let me know what you come up with. 😊

[Keana Moore @MaestraMoore]

This session blew my mind. I’ve been looking for new ways to formally assess student learning and I left your session with so much information to process! Thank you @fearlessmath for helping me reflect on my own practices
