Who Gets To Be A Math Person? Read more about how educators can create more equitable math classrooms that give all students the chance to succeed, even if they don’t fit the mold of what a “math person” looks like. ow.ly/2Zzf50EszJ6 #EdEquityVA


Cool idea!!! #ILoveMath

If you want to help students develop conceptual understanding of placing points on a coordinate plane, then this lesson called Pomegraphit from @Desmos can't be beet: teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…

You know it’s the last weekly faculty meeting of the summer when the boss brings it home with the flute-a-phone. #hemadeupthatword #funoverfear #letsdothis #oneccps #edmsravens

And how do you properly welcome new Ravens to the Nest? With Butter Braid Bread, of course. Thank you to @AlgebraTeachRVA and @erinlaliberte2 for leading our first socially-distanced, proactive community-building circle with our newest family members! #oneccps #edmsravens

Our kids, our parents, our teachers have been resilient," Lane said. "We're going to look back and say, 'This is one of the toughest generations of kids that we've been able to work with because of what they've endured.'" 13newsnow.com/article/news/e…


I have done this before and I loved it. It takes a while for students to get used to but I think it’s so valuable to shift the focus back to the learning and away from the grade!!

I love Leah Alcala's alternative method for grading tests. She found that when she put a grade on it, "kids would look at their grade, decide whether they were good at math or not, and put the test away." Here's her method: teachingchannel.org/videos/math-te… #iteachmath #MTBoS

Yes to all of this! Feedback from students is so important as we navigate new instructional models and as we work to support students’ individual emotional & educational needs.


“one clear conclusion:little kids 1st. Elem. schools must reopen, spread out across all school buildings & grounds.Given the intense needs of ss w/ disabilities & the difficulty of online alternatives, MS & HS Ss with special needs should have priority for in-person attendance.”

"Families will also need to trade some of their individualism for the collective." theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…



This is how we make the best of this school year! Robust plans for digital learning! Focus here so that students get the best of what we can give them... digital learning CAN be effective... you have to be prepared! #oneccps

If I was to be silent, it would fly in the face of everything I ever told my students, staff & community. It would go against everything we say we work for. There is no picking & choosing when you stand with your students, staff & community against racism & discrimination.

We must change.


Some interesting ideas here on reopening. There are a couple of potential options here to spring from. I also have heard of possibly keeping online for upper grades and spreading the elementary (I’d do thru 6th) our among all the buildings in a system. #oneccps #problemsolvers

New post and podcast. Thanks to all who shared ideas. Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions in the post comments. cultofpedagogy.com/reopening-scho… #COVID19 #COVID

I’ve been fielding a lot of Qs from Ss re: policies with the grading and what’s going on with new content. I made a video to help them and I shared it in Canvas! I’m really proud of the things I’ve learned to help Ss access info during this dig. learning experiment! #OneCCPS
