What a great night with our Virtual Math Coaches LN discussing Humanizing Mathematics! We've used Francis Su's quote to guide our work. Love him. Love our participants. You are thoughtful and wise. @martagarcia0901 @MathLeadership

Thinking a lot about discretionary spaces and the work we educators need to do to provide safe places for Ss. The decisions we make have a huge impact on students' lives. Great discussions with @cohort8 @martagarcia0901 @VBastable70 @mountholyokemath

Inspiring ideas about subtraction with #mtholyokemath #cohort8 @martagarcia0901 @VBastable70 Reasoning, making generalizations and creating models. What a day!

We have done sooooooo much work with multiplication the past few weeks. Today a student said, “you just add a zero” and another student replied “ you mean it’s 10 times bigger you didn’t ADD a zero!” #itsworking #iteachmath #mtbos #kippatx #bridgesmath

I'm listening to @gfletchy talking about Mathematical Residue ... love "don't teach rules that get in the way of student intuition."!

Looking forward to @NCTM in Boston! So great to have a chance to confirm, wonder and rethink strong math practices!

According to Darling-Hammond (2009), for a teacher to learn a new skill to the extent that it will positively impact student learning, they need approximately 50 hours of professional development (which includes coaching). How might we transform adult learning with this in mind?

I've been thinking about some of Shelley Moore's dots @tweetsomemoore and how they help us think about how to best support variability in math class. What do we still need learn so every student feels like their ideas have value?

One of my favorite books! Students behave like mathematicians and teachers get to be learners of students' ideas.

I am becoming obsessed with these pictures of crayons. We will be doing crayon math this week or next. #numbertalkimages @Pierre_Tranche

Great VMC PLC last night! https://t.co/Ou5eqefVtE We discussed our "why" for the work we do. So many interesting "whys" ex: disrupting ideas about putting students in a hierarchical framework - "interrogating inequities" and more! @martagarcia0901 @MikeFlynn55

As I prepare for this upcoming year, I'm thinking a lot about how to work and think with families. What will help them support their children in math most? Very thoughtful ideas from https://t.co/508EAhTmFS where @tamannedeford shares an informative handout. Thanks for sharing!

Just finished watching a Number String video from @karalouiseimm @mathinthecity during @BuildMathMinds Great example of equitable math practices. This is a must see! Plan to watch it as many times as I can - LOVE it!

🚨 🚨 Announcement Alert!! 🚨🚨 I am excited to serve as the opening keynote speaker at the @NCTM regional conference going down in Boston! I began my career as a HS math teacher so I am looking forward to being amongst my people and talking equity. https://t.co/dw5hla9MZh

Good reminder about what it means to be an activist and how to best support both students and colleagues. "Low" "high" language tells me more about what my colleagues know or don't know about mathematics and student understandings.

Thanks Desiree Harrison @Kidsmathtalk @BuildMathMinds for asking the Q what are your core values as a math coach? Equity has to be at the center of our work, "a living component inside all other[core values]"
