Excited to work a bit more on word-problem solving with our RAAMPS team. This year, we are doing problem posing within Pirate Math Equation Quest! https://t.co/Jroh08iKRC

Excited to share a new open-access practitioner paper all about: (a) avoiding using the keywords strategy, and (b) what word-problem strategies to use instead! Read about how to support students with mathematics difficulty and emergent bilinguals.

Students with mathematics difficulty, especially students with disabilities and emergent bilinguals, require careful consideration during word-problem instruction. Word problems that include relati...

Brand new article! Key words are NOT helpful for teaching students about word-problem solving. This paper explored how students got distracted by the keyword "more." https://t.co/f8Nj0bAVWx

Excited to share my newest open-access publication with Learning Disability Quarterly! We explored students' tendency to add when they see the word "more." TLDR- please do not teach students to associate "keywords" with operations!!

Although students are often taught to look for keywords when solving word problems, this strategy is erroneous. It is especially problematic when students solve...

We’re focused on feeding our kids. Investing in our schools. Making sure child care is affordable. Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

If you will be at PCRC, come chat with me about the pervasive and ineffective “keywords strategy” for solving word problems! And, if you consent, I can also blab about how schema instruction is the best way to counter act it!

This!!!
The WH is about to weaponize NAEP scores to discredit public education and advocate for school choice - private and charter. Based on what I’ve seen, charters mostly scored the similarly as bad and in a few instances, just slightly above traditional public schools.

Love this ♥️ students thrive with explicit instruction and high expectations! Classrooms that are structured can also be warm and friendly. And, in my experience, holding high expectations for students helps build meaningful relationships with them, too.
When you combine explicit instruction with high expectations and classroom rules. Don't take it from me. Take it from the kids. 😊

@IESResearch issues new evidence-based practice guide for teachers on behavioral interventions during elementary school. Clear expectations, positive attention and praise, and feedback to students display strong evidence. https://t.co/vi6WdiB78f

@DanielleLariv Can’t believe the intervention is almost complete! During lessons 19-21, students practiced independently planning and writing their own word problems by schema. Take a look at some of their posed problems!

Ask me about elementary problem posing 🤓
And last, but certainly not least, Ali Hardy successfully defended her synthesis about problem posing. This research - and its possible connection to word-problem solving - may be important for student understanding in math. Great work, Ali! @MsHardy123

I learned Bible stories myself in Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. That’s where they belong, not as teaching materials for our public schools whose students come from many faiths. Extreme Republicans would turn America into a theocracy, refusing to honor our
New: A majority of the Texas State Board of Education signaled their support Tuesday for a state-authored curriculum under intense scrutiny in recent months for its heavy inclusion of biblical teachings.

Texas has over 943,000 uninsured children — the worst in the country. I just filed House Bill 321 to quickly and efficiently enroll already eligible Texas children into Medicaid or CHIP. Our kids are our future — and they deserve better.
