Join me this fall in a new book study as we engage in Dr. Rachel Lambert's work around Rethinking Disability and Mathematics. @MISDMath

[Scott Block @scottblock_]

Another great offering from @MISDMath: The 5 Practices in Practice. Join this virtual book study to engage with other educators in learning more about orchestrating successful mathematics discussions in your secondary classroom.

[Scott Block @scottblock_]

Two great offerings this year for secondary math teachers. BTC Course 1 - laying the foundations & BTC Course 2 - digging deeper into more instructional practices. @MISDMath

Math Mindset camps have started. Love seeing the kids engage in mathematics in ways that encourage positive mindsets and help them pursue perseverance. @MISDMath

I love this story from 60 Minutes. https://t.co/LpMO2ptEy0

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

Professor Gloria Ladson-Billings explains to 60 Minutes how an encouraging teacher can change a life. The University of Wisconsin academic has studied how to best teach Black students. https://t.co/T2rDz9aAgL

Macomb County math teachers engaging in intentional work around Building Thinking Classrooms and thinking reflectively about their instructional practices. Thank you @Wipebook for supplying us with heavy-duty wipebooks to support this work! @MISDMath

[Scott Block @scottblock_]

Secondary math teachers in Macomb County: join our Building Thinking Classrooms book study starting in January. Walk away equipped with a book, wipebooks, markers, erasers, and a renewed sense of thinking about how your instruction supports student learning.

@amynoelleparks leading us through the morning of day 2 of @MIearlymathEIPs leadership institute

[Scott Block @scottblock_]

Day 1 of the Early Math Leadership Institute was a success. Great learning taking place with education and school leaders from across the state of Michigan. @MIearlymathEIPs @Trishdunn74 @RAnderson_Math @Sohnia

Great morning watching @McGuffeyJarod facilitate rich and deep conversations with students. The questioning and language that students were using was top notch during this Math Mindset Camp lesson. @MISDMath

[Scott Block @scottblock_]

Students are capable of communicating what works and doesn’t work for them. Utilize their voices as assets in establishing a culture of collaboration. Math Mindset Summer Camp @MISDMath

[Scott Block @scottblock_]

Great way to start the day with students: encouraging them to reflect and write. Math Mindset Camp working towards changing what it means to students to be a mathematician. @MISDMath
