When teaching math online, build understanding through showing and representing with #manipulatives rather than text. My favourite repository is from @JGTechieTeacher https://t.co/RtQx1nRlZN #edtech #mtbos #VirtualLearning #TCDSBVSfam @rosemortillaro @msasilvestre

Thanks for attending the session! Can't wait to see how these examples inspire your teachers to develop their own #MathematicalModeling inquiries. And the #CoffeeCrisp snack was appreciated! #OCanada #mtbos #iteachmath #NCTMCHI24

Thanks @ddmeyer for reminding me about how the teacher's words "Let's Try It" shift the learning contract with students and teachers. Powerful mindset shift I'll use in my co-teaching and mentorship. #NCTMCHI24 #mtbos

I would describe #CEMC2024 as a fun summer camp for math teachers! This year I presented on connecting #VirtualManipulatives to #OntEd 7/8 expectations: how tools in @Amplify #PolyPad @geogebra @PearsonK12 help support student thinking. @michele_mellow @te_bokkel @UWaterlooCEMC

As someone who spent a decade teaching and a decade as an administrator, I found the suggestions and tone of this piece reasonable and respectful of both teachers and leaders. https://t.co/eFlvdIYdCw via @tatertutt @edutopia

By listening to educators and building supports that reflect their genuine needs and concerns, these leaders are shifting school cultures in ways that go beyond lip service.

Researchers at MIT have questioned whether SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-bound) actually work. They suggest we might get better outcomes if we make our goals FAST (frequently discussed, ambitious, specific and transparent) not SMART.
