All the phones went up when this quote went up.
"Young people do not hate math. They hate feeling confused, embarrassed, and humiliated by math."

🌟more sentence work🌟 helping students to generate ideas. Last time, the work they produced gave them loads of confidence which was really motivating. This time I want them to think about a place at different times.

today we answered questions about ourselves and then made connections by finding out what we have in common & physically linking our hexagons together - every single student found something in common with at least one other person in their class #classroomculture#teacherlife
Today is Pura Belpré's birthday! She was an Afro-Boricua educator who served as the first Puerto Rican librarian in NYC. Belpré was a talented author and storyteller who wrote and re-interpreted Puerto Rican folk tales.

Eva Mireles and Irma Garcia....the two teachers who lost their lives while trying to save the lives of their students at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX. I salute them both this morning. They are true American heroes whose names should be remembered throughout history.

I just became the first U.S. Secretary of Education to call on President Biden to unilaterally cancel student loan debt. Can I count on you to retweet and help me hit 35k followers so we can spread the word?
From This Is Not a Test, @TheJLV, 2014: "We have this concept of schooling as a set of procedures that happen in a continuum, irrespective of (and often despite) whether the students actually learn anything, like commuter trains running on a schedule." Even more insightful now.
“Math isn’t just a set of numbers for me, but an approach to solving problems or creating better problems than the ones we’ve been left.” This #WorldTeachersDay, we are thankful for educators like @TheJLV who live out the value of centering humanity.
