Where are the discussions about teacher shortages in these articles? How many of these students have been taught year after year by non- or emergency licensed teachers that don't have the pedagogical content knowledge or skills to meet students' needs? www.the74million.org/article/covi...

An opening build + writing activity to open our year! 10 min: free build 10 min: write in one of these genres with a one-page goal in writers notebooks (direction slide included) Then share your build/writing with seat partners. @angelastockman.bsky.social

Beautiful wisdom from @dianaceja.bsky.social as a new school year begins. #wismath #MTBoS #iTeachMath

Creating a space for students to reflect on their learning throughout the school year has made a world of difference in my classroom—especially in knowing how students see themselves as learners. (Which, at the end of the day, is what matters.) thebrokencopier.substack.com/p/how-studen...

I would love to hear @mathematize4all.bsky.social's take on this @edweek.org article and the paper it highlights. I'm very curious about who was interviewed. www.edweek.org/teaching-lea... #iTeachMath #MTBoS #wismath

This entire thread is fascinating, but I especially love this one, which just may show up as a community building activity in my next PD session.

new paper 🔓! Teachers are having to put *considerable* amounts of work into making GenAI outputs suitable for their classrooms ... amidst the going hype we need to talk more about what GenAI clearly *cannot* do, and the uniqueness of teacher expert knowledge: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

A colleague recommended "Quality Implementation: Leveraging Collective Efficacy to Make 'What Works' Actually Work. I'm reading the preview before ordering...they state that evidence-based practices take on average 17 years to become routine. How many edu-pendulum swings happen in that time?

A great #SlowRevealGraph for my fellow Cheeseheads. #WisMath @wismathcouncil.bsky.social

This is a brilliant way to generate some curiousity around circles in order to motivate the circle theorems which are so often just presented as some mathematical magic. #MTBoS #iTeachMath #WisMath

#RecreationalMath #iTeachMath #MathSky

Two take aways: AI is not a substitute for high quality instructional materials or expert teachers The AI generated lesson plan reflects the "school math" content that it was trained on, which is sad. #iTeachMath #MTBoS #WisMath

Collaborate with students worldwide! #EduSky #Iteachmath #mathsky Based on Eratosthenes' experiment, this uses pairs of observers at all latitudes and longitudes to calculate Earth's radius. Please spread the word! We want participants from all hemispheres.

Something I did in the other place was the Math Photo Challenge-a weekly invitation (June-July) to notice the world through a mathematical lens and share a photo. I’m giving it a go on Bluesky. First prompt drops June 5th. Everyone’s welcome to join! 📷 Tag your posts with #MathPhoto25. #ITeachMath

Exploring this site and the philosophy behind it gave me a great epiphany regarding the algebra of equations vs the algebra of functions. While I'm not 100% on board with the argument that the algebra of equations is obsolete, I do think this this explains the transition from MS to HS math

Has anyone use any of the Explorations or Labs from What If Math? whatifmath.org/the-algebra-...

Reflecting on the school year doesn’t have to be overwhelming! These 3 reflection activities from @marcusluther.bsky.social can help you look back on all the positive things you did—and find ways to get even better next year. 🪞 #EduSky #teachers

Dear college professors, If you choose to schedule an open book/notes, non-proctored online exam, please think twice before accusing students of academic dishonesty.

You don’t need to wait until 8. Join us for game night at Langford’s Pub tonight! @wismathcouncil.bsky.social #wismath25

"A just educational system is not one where a few of the poor are privileged enough to enter elite private schools, but one where the public schools are good enough that even the rich will attend them."--Marianne Huusko, Finnish minister of education

So if you ask most middle school kids what their favorite part of school is, they'll probably say lunch and/or recess, right? "When do you get to make the most choices during the school day?" "Lunch and recess" 🫢

Today in @amermathsoc.bsky.social's Headlines & Deadlines column on teaching & learning, Benjamin Moynihan (The Algebra Project) shares the upcoming SLMath Critical Issues in Mathematics Education workshop on K-12 Mathematics Literacy for 21st-Century Citizenship: mathvoices.ams.org/teachingandl...

Attending an event for aspiring educators at a local college. Discussion with students about important qualities to be a good teacher: like kids (but don’t be a pedophile), don’t tell kids they are dumb, wear socks.

In Feb 2011, 14 Democratic State Senators fled WI to IL to deny Senate Rebublicans the quorum they needed to vote on Gov. Scott Walker’s budget repair bill that stripped collective bargaining rights from public employees. They stayed away for 21 days. Could use some of that kind of energy now in DC.

I found some time amid all the chaos this week somehow, and just dropped the next Dem Paper. It's a slightly different vibe but even if it inspires one person to action, I'll be happy. democracy-papers.ghost.io/the-democrac...

I found it! I found it. Horace Mann...not John Dewey.

NCTM’s Board of Directors election begins today! We wish WMC’s Past President, Lisa Hennessey, all the best in her candidacy. If you are a member, please review all candidates and vote by March 31.
