This week we started fractions! Today we’re practicing our new skills as well as growing our brains with skills we will dive into next week! We’ve got fraction dominoes/dice w/ the bar model & number lines, spin to make a whole, and fraction tic-tac-toe w/ shapes & number lines!

Thanks to our Academic Facilitator, Ms. Smith, for playing fraction games with us today!

Teachers who choose to stay in the classroom over moving to administration are leaders too! Honor their choice, dedication, & professionalism. Effective leaders actually embrace this choice and leverage their talents and expertise to benefit the whole school.

Sometimes a Number Talk starts with the ANSWER… and the scholars come up with the question. What have you tried recently with number talks that your scholars loved? 🤔 💭 @mgrant_2000 @MRegan0123 @Beth_Coryell @JanetMarotte777

Fabulous frameworks task today! Matching up a word problem on volume with the corresponding rectangular prism, base, and formula. Loved the mathematical discourse! #growinggreatness

"I've never been a fan of the term 'buy-in' when it comes to change."
Check out why leader @E_Sheninger prefers "embracement."

ALT Alt text: Infographic with the title "From 'Buy-In' to 'Embracement'" and four components of "embracement": Create a Clear Vision, Involve Your People, Empower Actions, Celebrate Success.
THIS. 1000 times over!! It’s not a truly accurate picture.
1) I am good at math
2) to this day I have anxiety due to timed math tests.
3) It took me years to believe #1 because of #2
PLEASE STOP DOING TIMED MATH DRILLS

#VisibleLearning founder John Hattie writes that the secret to great teaching lies in evaluative thinking—it’s less about what teachers do and more about how they think about what they do.

I literally CANNOT with folks defending traditional grading by saying it prepares students for the ReAL WoRLd
When’s the last time a teacher got docked pay for late report card comments?
Or could opt out of work with a 0?
Or couldn’t try again after bombing an observation?
Fun Physical Science with Mrs. Hagood for our 5th graders! They loved it! @CarmelESColts @Henderson4th @CherokeeSchools

Make Tier 1 the priority.
Make Tier 1 the priority.
Make Tier 1 the priority.
Tiers 2 & 3 are a direct reflection of how effective your Tier 1 is working.
Design Tier 1 so that it is all is should be for learners & teachers.
It's the only way things change.
Digging deep into our new math standards with these great teachers! They are ready for the rollout! @CarmelESColts @SarahMallow2 @DrHeadCCSDMath @CherokeeSchools @Henderson4th
