And just like that, Day 2 of 7th Grade Math Institute is over. 👀 @JoleneCasteel19 and I were truly grateful for all of the deep thinking and conversations around Purposeful Practice and Responding in the Moment that these teachers brought to this session!

7th Grade Math teachers had a full day of learning by collaborating, creating, and calibrating around how to reach all students and collecting evidence of student learning! #katymodelsmath @MathwithMrsC

This year I’m creating content based strategies to randomly group students. Learning begins the moment kids walk into the classroom. Here’s what it looks like.

Showing up for your students is so important. Here's what they need to hear 💜 Sketchnote via @woodard_julie

2 days of learning w/ Seconday Math Teachers! We had a keynote to set the focus, horizontal team sessions w/ a choice board, AMAZING power hour sessions Ts presented, a math mixer, all while our DCs facilitated dept time with reflection & goal setting for their teams!

The Secondary C&I team is thrilled to welcome new secondary teachers to @KatyISD! New Teacher Orientation is one of our favorite days of the year — a time to connect, collaborate, and explore curriculum and instructional best practices with our newest educators! #SecCI

The @Astros now have the best record in the AL 👀

Questions for the summer #2: Relationships don’t come before rigor, they create it. Trust, with a 0.57 effect size, fuels learning. How do you build connections to make your classroom a safe space for growth?

High engagement can't exist with low morale.

Yesterday, our JH Math Lab teachers did some learning centered around how to get thinking to become a habit for students, addressing conflict in the classroom, and diving into their #MyPath data. What a great day! #KTintervent @KISDOOI @jenniferholda @ImagineLearning

If we want people to engage in a conversation around questions, we need to ensure that they feel psychologically safe. This means that we do not judge them when they answer. Better Conversations: https://t.co/SlQ4SDJWXi -ICG

We know who we are and what we're after.

Education is relationship centered.
