An education focused on test prep is an inferior education. Instead we should focus on developing our students' growth mindset, belief in self, and an ability to problem solve.

Before you shoulda, coulda, woulda yourself away, remember to give yourself permission to accept right where you are💕 #GSNCCPATC2021

We need to recognize the space in order to make things happen in that place! Are we leading with a pedagogy of reconciliation? @chrisemdin #2021mathsummit

"Instead of asking whether to even address learning loss, we should be asking, when we return this fall, how can we lean into a kind of teaching that works for everyone?"
