A4: Accountability I find to be the most challenging for coaches. Most don't have a way yet of showing their effectiveness. I think one way to do it is to document whereabouts and work. What did you do and what were the action steps following? #BAMSChat
Learning a lot and engaging in important conversations about equity in high school mathematics with MHS math teachers Ms. Ritten and Mr. Moray @NCTM Regional Boston

This video from @gfletchy explains multiplication from 2nd to 5th grades and applies to middle and high school teachers too (think: distributive property, polynomial multiplication, etc.). gfletchy.com/2015/12/18/the-… #iteachmath #MTBoS
So true about talking the talk but not walking the walk. Baby steps.
Good article from a good, practical book. Thanks @gmferrojr for sharing! Numbers 1, 3, & 4 are good discussions to have, but I don't neccesarily agree with the video game analogy. Its more than just chances. The Panther @whrsd_math Depart. currently practices number 2 & some of 4

"Those remedial courses often were a trap. There's no question that math stops tens of thousands of students who would otherwise do fine in college from getting to the goal line."

Rigor can and should exist without the race to calculus @MASchoolsK12 @number5leah
The more students view mathematics as integral to what it means to be human the more empowered and engaged they will be in the classroom. @mathyawp #CBMSMathAlign

I'm happy to share the cover of my upcoming book on @openmiddle problems! The forward's written by brilliant Open Middle co-founder @Math_m_Addicts. @TracyZager has been my patient and insightful editor with @stenhousepub. Should be out sometime in the fall. #MTBoS #ITeachMath
Check out the article I wrote for this week's edition of the Whitman-Hanson Express whitmanhansonexpress.com/ on p. 8. These two graphics had to be cut for space...
So proud to learn that my alma mater @UNC has replicated the model of @UMBC scholarship programs for increasing the pursuit of STEM degrees among underrepresented groups and is finding success after four years.
Recipe for STEM success for underrepresented students? “intensive advising, immersive transition activities the summer before students' first semester of college, institutional leadership that makes the program a priority, training for faculty and staff” eurekalert.org/pub_releases/…

Today A block learned about imaginary numbers and now all the math jokes make sense!! #i_over_ate #haaaaaa #WHPantherPride
Poll: if my child decided to organize the 100 stickers he needed to decorate a plain t-shirt with to celebrate the 100th day of school tomorrow using 10-frames does that mean my work-life balance is out of whack?
What’s the harm in trying this? Kids might hate math less? @DrCSJones
