The conversations we’re having now about school — connections over content, closing equity gaps, deepened family involvement — are the conversations we’ve always needed to have.

2) Show gratitude
3) Read professional books and articles
4) Celebrate the success of other teachers

Teacher confession: I’ve been feeling very off today. One of those days where I’m questioning everything we’ve done in class and whether or not it’s making sense or has been valuable. Suggestions for when you’re stuck like this? #teacherproblems

@MissGeorge124 I'm not sure what this is, but in my imagination, there is a transversal of two parallel lines drawn on the floor and a recording is playing "CORRESPONDING! ALTERNATE- INTERIOR..." to a beat and students gather to watch the "player" stomp on the various angles.
Here is a trinket I found that is actually a #puzzle. This is a calendar. The twelve combined faces can display every date from 01 to 31, yet two of the faces are '0'. Are there really enough faces? How? #mtbos#Mathematics
