#NCTMVirtual

[Ty Houy @misshouy]

The first webinar I was able to get to for @nctm 2021 was with @LieslMcconchie about Math & the Brain - focusing on how we can get away from hearing “math is so boring!”

WOW! I hope I can make it to that round table tomorrow to continue the discussion!

Voting for a lot of things and a lot of people. VOTING FOR MY STUDENTS. 💙🗳

Look, I’m in my dream job right now, but I have never left feeling more excited about potential opportunity than I am right now regarding the Verizon Innovative Learning lab and integrating it into the math curriculum🤩🙌🏼 @dpvils

@gsmith79 I’ll be excited to hear how it’s going! I know you have some 100% virtual (my sister opted for that one), but are the rest of the kids full time in-person or on a hybrid plan? What does that look like for you?! ☺️🦁

@evkp_ @TMobile https://t.co/ODXQBSMhXP 🥰🥰🥰

Well, @PropelSchools immersion round 2, this time as a new teacher and not a resident teacher 😃 here we go!!

[Ty Houy @misshouy]

What a wild ride doing a residency with 7th & 8th graders and transitioning into student teaching 9th graders during a global pandemic! I’ve learned so much and am extremely excited for the next steps on this adventure... at @PropelSchools Northside!!! 7/8 Math, here I come! 💙💛

How (forcibly)cool is it to be a teacher resident right now during all this crazy? Thankfully I’ve been in the classroom all year and get both experiences, but I am learning and trying so much more than I ever thought I would or could! Education as we know it is changing 👀

[Ty Houy @misshouy]

I miss my scholars very much, but I’m surprisingly excited about curating online content for them. The principal I’m working with during this time of #RemoteLearning quoted it best...

During this difficult time, many of us may be overwhelmed. Use this deep breathing exercise to help you feel reinvigorated and replenished. We hope you'll take some time every day for self-care. #MondayMotivation #StandTogether #SelfCare 😊

PD with @PatCoyle_Propel delivering real results! Look how important models, critique, and descriptive feedback are for growth!

[Ty Houy @misshouy]

my students told me that the way I wrote the letter “x” is ~fancy~

I think that means I’m on the right track to being an exemplary math teacher 🙃

[Ty Houy @misshouy]

I have a part-time job as a shift supervisor at Starbucks. One of my baristas commented on how I dealt with a situation, telling me it makes sense that I would be a teacher and they can tell I must be a great one 😭🥰 I’m on a good path!

[Ty Houy @misshouy]

Wait, I never tweeted! On Nov 6th, I passed my @abcte PTK exam. So excited to start @PointParkU education courses and live the dream 🥰

[Ty Houy @misshouy]

The perfect Sunday night text as I finish up this week’s small group planning ☺️☺️☺️

[Ty Houy @misshouy]

I started structured small groups this week and I’m loving every moment! This week we prepped for a test and I can’t wait to watch them crush it!

[Ty Houy @misshouy]

I passed my ABCTE math exam, PTK here I come!

Do you ever just pause and recognize how hard you're working and all that you've accomplished so far even if you're not exactly where you want to be?

Now is a good time.
