Whether this is your first year teaching or your thirty first year teaching - we are about to embark on the most important school reopening in history. Never has empathy, patience and resilience been more important. We must work together. Together we are better.

[David Geurin @DavidGeurin]

Are students in your school talking mostly about their grades or mostly about what they’re learning?

Let’s create school environments that shift the conversation.

And keep the focus on learning, not grades. #edchat #FutureDriven

Practice is good. but productive practice is seeing an idea in different ways, forms and representations not the repetition of one idea in near identical questions. @joboaler

"I like when people walk into my classroom they have no idea where to look. Where is the front of the room? Where is the teacher?" @jackiegerstein

Remember everyone - if you are not getting pushback you are probably not being disruptive enough. The system is failing students and we need to disrupt the status quo. Some people are always going to find that hard. Pushback means you are making a difference!

[Diana Saylak, Ed.D @ddsaylak]

Research says that teachers do 95% of the talking in the classroom... The one doing the talking is the one learning. If you want kids to learn, don't talk at them talk with them. @alicekeeler #LatL2018

[Cathy Williams @chaoskeeper11]

Maths should be a collaborative subject where students share their creative ways of seeing and solving challenging questions. #learnwithdcps #stillrising

It's not always about speed.

@McKenney119 Have you read Mathematical Mindsets by @joboaler best book ever. It will change your life. https://t.co/nIj1Iv44uC

[Alice Keeler @alicekeeler]

@ileikpi314 @pkoch9999 Please check out the work of @joboaler and her website https://t.co/vaToiSpsk9 and of course the best book ever is Mathematical Mindsets. You don't need a page of practice. You stop thinking after the first few. You need DIFFERENT practice and sprialed. Less is more.

Would you like to know what we think are the big ideas in all of K-8? This is from our K-8 book series, gr 4 is out, 3 is next. You can read more about it here: https://t.co/oG4XFBeiLR Teachers who plan 4 big ideas are more successful than those who teach through boring methods!

Carly keeps positive notes in a sunshine folder. "Go back and read those so you know why you do it on the days you can't." #MoreThanAMessage

[Jo Boaler @joboaler]

Teachers - take risks and make mistakes in front of your kids, otherwise how do they know it is OK to do that? Be risky, creative, & kind!

[Jo Boaler @joboaler]

The damage of telling people they are gifted or smart - it makes any challenge or struggle devastating. It causes people to leave maths.
