Listening to @profkeithdevlin at the @amtnj winter conference...are we preparing students to be conductors of mathematics?

@MikeFlynn55 You forgot to add being hurled by Ed Tech companies-“to create their additional income stream” by suggesting that “use” of their products will “mitigate the gap.”
Can we get focused on “pedagogy” over “products”, please?

What matters isn’t how well a teacher holds students’ attention; it's whether a teacher knows enough about how learning happens to stop being the center of attention.

State of NJ proposing new legislation allowing certain students to repeat prior grade level during 21-22 school year upon parental request. https://t.co/T824iH0z1D @SavOurSchoolsNJ @ChrisTienken Will parents be coerced to hold their students back? @NewJerseyDOE @EdLawCenter

NEW: @NewJerseyDOE will be applying to the federal government for a waiver of statewide standardized testing administration and accountability requirements.

[Steph Tidwell-iteachmatheducators @iteachmatheduc1]

Glad to hear this! Testing stands to benefit no one this year. Asking that @teachcardona rethink the purpose of assessment.

Will There Be Standardized Tests This Year? 8 Questions Answered https://t.co/7U4EadDDrT Ultimately the power rests with states who administer the assessments and choose which assessments to administer. It's time for @NewJerseyDOE to step up and apply for a waiver.

My daughter, in 7th grade, is home schooling herself. What is shocking is not that, but that we might find that shocking. Her curriculum is reading fan fiction, chess, music, looking up recipes, solving Rubik's Cube, and playing with her dog.

School can't compete with that.

Not every question has a right answer. Believing there is always a right answer is anti-educational. Questions more important than answers.
