Starting a new school year I was wondering what students think & feel about mathematics class. It surprises me that so many students have adverse feelings towards math. As an educator, my goal this year is to help students develop a mathematical growth mindset. @careim2

The older the stds you teach, the greater responsibility you have to address false beliefs learners hold about their potential & shift cultural beliefs about maths that students absorb. High school & college tchrs - this may not be why you went into tchg but it is so important!

Every hour, a student commits suicide in India due to mental distress. There is no shame or stigma attached to seeking help for depression or anxiety. Perhaps we should also consider conducting mandatory mental health classes in schools https://t.co/TZtB7zzWWs

Thanks to a new law, all elementary, middle, and high school students in New York state will be required to learn about mental health in traditional physical education and health classes.

Well done Emma, great rebuttal to the deeply flawed @nytimes blog post saying that daughters need math drill. The original article by an engineer, with no knowledge of learning, was so harmful. Emma, you have said it so well: https://t.co/auS5dq8OsF
