Franz Kafka meets Bozo the Clown meets Herman Munster. Thanks for the laugh and inspiration, @maddow.msnbc.com.

After months of teaching my daughter how to drive, parallel park, three-point turn, etc. (she passed her driver’s test today), she was docked points for not using hand signals. She took her test in a car, not a horse and buggy. Bruh! americanhistory.si.edu/collections/...

Found this on Edutopia. Now go slay the day, will you!?

I’m reading a paper from the International Journal for Studies in Mathematics Education. It posits that intellectual need is necessary in order for significant learning to occur. Here are the five categories of intellectual need the researchers have identified. #EDUsky #mathChat 🧵1/5

Hoping to make Monday just a bit more interesting. #EDUsky

It certainly doesn’t answer the question, “Why do I need to learn this?”, but it does give it some context. #EDUsky #mathChat

After 26 years in public education and ten+ years on social, I’m still trying to figure out my purpose and place on all the platforms. But it seems like this space is best for me to share with and connect with other educators. #EDUsky #mathChat

Wisdom Wednesday. Let’s make sure we don’t forget our why. Children > Content #EDUsky #mathChat

Several colleagues and I were having this conversation yesterday. #EDUsky #mathChat

Monday Musings. You can't be successful if you don't try. #EDUsky #mathChat

"Our schools don’t need more shiny perfect people. We need more deeply human people." #EDUsky #mathChat Go First – MEGHAN LAWSON

Sunday sermon. Don’t ever apologize for being you or what you know is true. #EDUsky #mathChat

Not a bad way to think about today relative to yesterday and tomorrow. #EDUsky

Please share with your community. Somewhere, sometime, somehow people have forgotten about us teachers. #EDUsky #mathChat https://medium.com/hometown-ramblings/school-is-starting-and-here-are-ten-things-you-should-know-about-teachers-fdb951faf19c

Have a fantastic Friday and be sure to learn something new. #EDUsky #mathChat

In PD and a teacher said “compliance” in referring to student behavior. I just threw up in my mouth. #EDUsky #mathChat

Thoughtful Thursday. #EDUsky

In a new teacher meeting about student engagement and the presenter is lecturing to us and reading the text on her deck. Why don't teacher leaders spend more time planning effective PD that matches the goals? #EDUsky #mathChat

Wisdom Wednesday. As educators, we talk a lot about failing and failure (maybe more on that distinction later). Just remember, we’re referring to an act, not a person. #EDUsky #mathChat

I regret the moment that led me to leaving my last district. I don’t regret choosing my new home. #EDUsky

Monday motivation. #EDUsky

My #EDUsky Sunday Sermon.

My new school is a humbling place to be. Analyzing Plato with colleagues. Interpreting Shakespeare sonnets. Digging deep into Frost. But that humbling sensation is hunger. Hunger to learn, to connect, to be. I’ll contribute when I’m ready. In the meantime, I’ll bring my best self. #EDUsky #mathChat

My new school has a faculty room where all of us share space (WeWork-ish) to plan, discuss, bounce ideas, grade, reflect, be. Why don’t all schools have spaces like this?

I need to practice this as I learn how to be with my new colleagues. No one wants to work with a KIA, a know-it-all. #EDUsky #mathChat

Several life cheat codes from Sahil Bloom #EDUsky

Wisdom Wednesday #EDUsky #mathChat

I didn’t get dumber every day, but for the past four years I was never challenged (or expected) to go beyond teaching to a test. Trust me, I tried. “Pump the brakes” and “stay in your lane” were the expectations. I’m glad to have found a place where that is definitely not the case. #EDUsky #mathChat

Great advice as I begin my new professional journey. #EDUsky #mathChat

Funny. A bit morbid. But funny. #mathChat

Tomorrow I start connecting, collaborating, cogitating, crafting, communicating with new colleagues at a new school. #EDUsky

How is it that I start back for the ‘23-‘24 school year on Monday? #EDUsky

Embrace the failure. #EDUsky

Not sure if @spencerideas is here yet, but these posters I made from his words are important for all learners. BE! #EDUsky

My sense is that creating a feed on Bluesky is a bit technical. But since #EDUsky is thriving, I'm wondering if someone more knowledgable could create a #MATHsky feed.

Cross-posting here and on Threads to see what gets traction. #EDUsky

Humility + curiosity = ??? #EDUsky

"Yes, others care about us, but in a global way, not the detail of what we do with our lives. The truth is, in the nicest possible sense, no one else gives a s***." https://bigthink.com/smart-skills/nobody-is-watching-the-movie-of-your-life-and-thats-truly-liberating/

Exploring my ways of being helpful in #EDUsky. Would love to know why these quotes do/do not resonate with you. My goal is to shares these “posters” once a day.

This place, this Bluesky, seems like a great place to connect, to collaborate, to cogitate, to create, to craft without the need for the inevitable doomscroll-ability. #EDUsky

My reputation has been damaged, perhaps beyond repair. But who I am, my character, my true self cannot be challenged. #EDUsky

Looking for a good (summer) read? I highly recommend this anyone, mathematician or not. #EDUsky

After 25 years as a public school teacher, it feels a bit strange starting this next school year in a charter school. #EDUsky

Thanks @alicekeeler.com for the invite. Just spent the past two hours on her #Bluesky spreadsheet following a bunch of eduheroes. Building my #PLN in a new-to-me platform. #EDUsky
