Today a student told me I was a good teacher. When I asked why, he said, “You have good energy, and I can tell you enjoy what you do.”
Wow. That one landed.
Our work is so much more than teaching content. It’s about showing up in ways that lift students and the educators around us.
Spending today reflecting on the incredible work happening in classrooms. I feel fortunate that my role allows me to partner with educators and support students in taking ownership of their learning. Here are a few photos from this week to celebrate.

Here’s the group photo (minus our virtual folks!) of the awesome Alleghany Highlands math educators digging into Math Workshop for their book study. Their students are lucky to have them, and I’m grateful to be part of their journey.

The Prince Edward math teachers dug into formative assessments and how to create immediate, flexible small groups that move learning.
Teachers practiced:
- Surfacing student thinking quickly
- Identifying misconceptions on the spot
#FormativeAssessment #ChangeTheStory
As a co‑founder of CTLG, I’m proud of the work our team is doing with K–12 educators. We’re increasing our visibility and sharing more content to help educators #ChangeTheStory.
If you believe in student‑centered learning and building educator capacity, connect with us and help expand our reach.
Life is good
So many things I love about this sign I saw in a Life Is Good store. As a person who always has a glass half full attitude, I appreciate that there is always something in the glass.

The best part of a book signing is when someone brings you their book that has soooo many tabs and highlights. 😍 Made my year! @heinemannpub.bsky.social @skiptylermath.bsky.social
In our latest #ChangeTheStory workshop, educators didn’t just talk about math…they did math! We explored a central question: What happens when we trust students to make sense of mathematics? The results? Students experience curiosity, productive struggle, and thinking! #EveryoneIsAMathPerson

🎉 Hats off to the incredible math teachers at Blacksburg Middle School! During our recent PL sessions and coaching cycles, they dove deep into #MathWorkshop. 🚀 From modeling strategies to collaborative planning, they showed what it means to be student-centered and growth-minded. 💡 #ChangeTheStory

We learn by doing. That is why it is so rewarding modeling instructional best practices. Seeing educators “feel” the impact helps push them to try new things and be better tomorrow than today.

While in schools working with educators, I’m always on the hunt for student artifacts that are displayed. If students create their own meaning of content, they increase their chance of retaining that knowledge. How are you trying to #ChangeTheStory? Education is more than finding the right answer!
If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of "this is how we've always done it," this convo with @heinemannpub.bsky.social and @skiptylermath.bsky.social is a must-listen. We’re breaking down student-centered strategies to make math instruction more impactful. Full episode in bio! #MathEducation
Slide from presentation about Math Workshop: Think About it: "Are you delivering content? Or are you developing learners?"

🚀Proud moment at King George County Schools as I wrapped up Coaching Cycles & PL for math teachers. These teachers crushed it! Reasoning routines, stations, small group instruction…they did it all.🚀
Together, we made impactful strides in creating a thinking classroom!
