Jess Tufnell leads a 2nd grade Number Corner lesson with our @MIearlymathEIPs #MiMathEssentials in mind. Educators and leaders will implement the EIPs using Number Corner as a vehicle. @LeaMcAllister @Sohnia @RAnderson_Math

@deborah_ball We as educators have the power, more than any other profession, to disrupt injustice. #MCTMConference

Teaching is POWERFUL. “When it is done with care and judgement, students can thrive.” Each human in society was once a third grade student. How are our actions today shaping the humans of the future. @deborah_ball #MiCTM2023

Spending a couple days in Detroit for #MiCTM23. Looking forward to learning from @deborah_ball and thank you to Detroit Public Schools for hosting us!

As we all wake up on Valentines Day there are at least 3 People at Michigan State University who won’t be waking up. As our politicians worship guns, our kids cant even educate themselves without fear. Your prayers are an insult when you idolize weapons of death.

Cognitively demanding tasks are for ALL children. All children CAN do mathematics! @amynoelleparks @RAnderson_Math @Sohnia #mimathessentials

As leaders of educators, we need to ensure all children are getting equitable access to high cognitive demanding math tasks

“Tasks that ask for students to perform a memorized procedure in a routine manner lead to one level of thinking; tasks that ask students to think conceptually lead to a very different set of thinking processes.” #MiMathEssentials

The joy of leadership comes from seeing others achieve more than they thought they were capable of.

🛑🔥 PLEASE END YOUR WEEK BY WATCHING THIS VIDEO ... This is what we want our children experiencing in Early Math. https://t.co/nMdQxOj554 #MIMATHESSENTIALS

When we’re all revising, no one is done. No one’s answer is perfect. Breaking down the barrier of fear of being wrong, inviting all into the conversation. @MandyMathEd @michiganmath

Promoting equity through Rough Draft Math ❤️ @MandyMathEd @michiganmath

“Rough Draft math isn’t about fixing mistakes, it’s about expanding our point of view.” @michiganmath @MandyMathEd

Excited to be Learning from @MandyMathEd this morning during our @michiganmath conference. ☕️🎉

Confirmation bias is twisting the facts to fit your beliefs. Critical thinking is bending your beliefs to fit the facts. Seeking the truth is not about validating the story in your head. It's about rigorously vetting and accepting the story that matches the reality in the world.

You just can't.

5 Days! The countdown is on. Can’t wait to see everyone! #mctmconf2022 #mtbos

Insecure arrogance: "I have all the answers. Only I can fix it." Confident humility: "I have many questions. We need to study what broke it." The people to trust are not the ones who project the most confidence. They’re the ones who know the limits of their competence.

Creating a safe space doesn’t mean it’s a comfortable space. Continual learning, growing, evolving isn’t supposed to be comfortable. Trust+cognitive conflict+commitment+accountability+results. @sewardstephen #ImpactfulLeadership
