@spencerideas I agree! There is a legitimacy and purpose for both silence and noisiness in the classroom. Quiet writing time and chatty math group work time are some of favorite times during the school day. ☺️

“Don’t wait for your district to offer a training. Don’t wait for your school to ‘develop’ you.

You are a professional and can take ownership of your learning. Take full advantage of what your school offers, but be a continuous learner.” ~ @DavidGeurin

I highly recommend @alfiekohn’s work in this topic, including Punished By Rewards and this book as a ELAR department book study.

“Reading should be its own reward.” I agree 100% @donalynbooks !

[Donalyn Miller @donalynbooks]

Reading should be its own reward. This should be our goal for ALL children—not bribes or prizes. Incentivizing reading communicates that reading lacks value without rewards.

[Mrs. Allen @MrsAllenWCA]

@ToddWhitaker An adamant YES! It is making perfect sense! I made it about halfway through before my kids woke up from nap. It’s great motivation going into our last week of school! ☺️

@JohnsrudMrs Conceptually, yes! They have grade specific curriculum books on Amazon too. I bought the 3rd grade copy 🤗 you can borrow my copy of Mathematical Mindsets!

[Mrs. Allen @MrsAllenWCA]

My favorite teacher read this year has been “Mathematical Mindsets” by @joboaler My eyes have been opened and I find joy in math! #mathematicalmindsets #flexibiltywithnumbers #mathematics #mathrocks

[Jo Boaler @joboaler]

2 sets of people are shocked when they see number flexibility - adults in our population and low achieving students.

Gallery walks and four corners discussions are great ways to give middle and high school students a chance to re-energize while they work.
