"If algebra can embrace data science and data science can do the same for algebra, we can all look forward to a world where students feel dissatisfied with their current knowledge and want to learn more math." https://t.co/7v2qtc0Ljo

My case for losing the term "Learning Loss" - teachers were heroic during the pandemic & students learned a great deal - that may not show up in a standardized test!

For the record, no.

True grit is *not* grinding yourself into a burned out shell of a human being.

True grit is pursuing a goal that is meaningful to you in a way that is sustainable--and while sometimes hard, brings joy and pride.

"When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don’t have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. You can be satisfied anytime your system is running."

"If an employer gives someone a job description but then expects employees to go above and beyond, then the job description isn’t accurate or fair. The employee can never win if they don’t know what they’re working toward or what success looks like."

It’s About Skillsets and Support, Not Sainthood “The way we, as a society, talk about teaching is powerful. It can paint a picture in the minds of our community, our students, and even those in the profession.” https://t.co/UwN3WZqaAi

"Students are no longer a captive audience. They have more options and choices. To avoid obsolescence, perhaps schools should focus on making school a place where kids see value and want to come to each day." YES, @tracepick I am WITH YOU on this! https://t.co/GwamFx1uom

[Laura Solomon @laurarsolomon]

We don't have a sense of what teachers care about, why they do what they do, and what drives them. https://t.co/vEfSUGXqhV
