I love how invested you are in your students’ learning and how you always have their best interests at heart. What you are doing with them this year is going to have a lasting affect as they continue to grow as mathematics learners.

A few resources you may be interest in are below:

I have been sharing this video as a way of adding some fuel to the action plan fire – Lots of amazing messages in here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytVneQUA5-c&
Check out the blogs of @mmoore @rgarand and leave a comment.
On Friday make sure you connect with the many…Read more

You should speak with @mmurray about assessment and feedback in the math classroom; he’s been exploring some neat practices. Of coure, I’d be happy to chat with you about my process as well at our next meeting!

I love that you got “surprising” responses rather than just the ones you were expecting. Have you tried VNPS in your class or read about Peter Liljedahl’s “Thinking Classrooms” concept? He talks a lot about randoming grouping and its benefits. See you tomorrow!

We are happy you are with us this year and along for the ride. Engagement has been a popular and necessary action plan topic in the past, which means there are a ton of resources to be found from past Cohortians on this topic, and in a Math class. @mmoore is one of the most innovative math teachers I know and is worth talking to and…Read more

Thanks for sharing your assessments and to reconnecting us with @mmurray. I am sure that you’re also talking to @brenthurley too. You should check out his work, and that of @danielleganley.

I am wondering about what this looks like behind-the-scenes for the students. Have you given any thought to collecting…Read more

This is my big blind spot in teaching. I want to do it more regularly but I have so many questions about timing, the subjective nature of assessing it, etc. and I desperately want to speak to others who are doing this successfully, i.e. you and @mmurray ! Please continue to share your practice with all of us…Read more
