Good school culture is not the result of a lot of gimmicks… it is the result of a bunch an adults motivated to do what is best for kids.

Why smart people often do stupid things: Intelligence isn't a substitute for wisdom. Intelligence is the capacity to learn. Wisdom is converting learning into good judgment. Using brainpower requires willpower. It takes self-control to choose future gains over current impulses.

Still thinking about NCTM in DC and what an incredible experience it was this year! If you went- what was your favorite new learning? I honestly can’t choose one, but seeing so many amazing speakers preaching engaging and equitable instructional practice makes my heart sing!

There is a cost to lead. True leaders are willing to pay the price: sacrifice self-interest and put their Cause ahead of themselves.

A former student approaches you and says "I use math every day in my job as a [x] and I owe it all to you." For what values of x are you happy? For what values are you sad?

Are our students problem solving … or mimicking procedures coded as “word problems”? I recently had the privilege of attending a training by @fawnpnguyen , and I love the simple way she describes problem solving: “Problem solving is what you do when you don’t know what to do.”
