Sometimes I feel like I should explain the difference between Common Core, current pedagogical developments and changes, and corporate CCSS aligned curriculum packages. But I’m not sure the uninformed care.

Not sure where the trick-or-treaters are tonight.

@soniafaletti @IBchemmilam Could similar accessibility benefits be achieved through chunking directions and intentionally frequent check ins?

@IBchemmilam @SciJeanne Wikipedia has a very nice article about its own systematic bias, and some of the investigations into how women are treated in the editor community are worth sharing with students.

@IBchemmilam @Scienergetic I mentally flipped and gave a pi/3 value instead of a pi/6 value on a math placement test. It meant having to start in Calc 2 rather than multivariate.

[Dave Fleming @flemieval]

@IBchemmilam But that’s why we can just import from last year. As long as you don’t change your teaching, assignments, schedule, or curriculum, you should be fine.

@MattforMichigan @MIGOP Since pay in many districts is tied to multi-year contacts, assuming that funding increases would translate immediately to salaries in inherently flawed even without considering potential changes to the teacher population itself.

[Dave Fleming @flemieval]

Got to my classroom this morning and tried to open the door by pressing the unlock button on my car keys. I wonder how teaching will go today.

[Dave Fleming @flemieval]

@IBchemmilam 52 - They are very bad at teacher ages.

I hate being in a situation where my principal is vacuuming floors after school, but I love working for a principal who doesn’t hesitate to vacuum floors when that’s what needs doing.

[Dave Fleming @flemieval]

@rooneychem @IBchemmilam Are we sure Scott just doesn’t think that he’s the tool?

[Dave Fleming @flemieval]

@IBchemmilam @rooneychem Isn’t precision also contextual? Isn’t there always an implied precise “enough” for our need.
