I am so excited to have this piece out in the world. It started as a course paper about a framework that spoke to us as educators and has expanded to understand what it means to be a Rida in mathematics classrooms.

Take a listen as @carleemadis.bsky.social , @drsheilaorr.bsky.social and I share about the work we’ve been up to with @progressedpathways.bsky.social ! #edusky #PBLchat #projectbasedlearning #mtbos #STEMed #iteachmath
So grateful for these folks and the community we are building
“PBL doesn’t work in math.”
Heard that one? 👀
The truth: PBL can deepen rigor and reasoning — when it’s designed for real mathematical thinking.
Let’s stop asking if it works, and start asking:
What math is worth doing — and how can PBL help us get there?

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked.
Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.
I’ll make sure to let my students know tomorrow that this was you giving everyone an extension 😂
This week we learned with Dr. Alyssa Hadley Dunn about Teaching on Days After — holding care + community at the center. We also explored how different assessments create space for students to show what they know in ways that honor their voices 💛

This week’s asynchronous class dug into community-content connections
After reading Learning for Justice blogs + watching a @todos-math.bsky.social Live video, candidates began exploring their placement communities through walks, interviews, and online searches
Life has really been life-ing this last week…..but I committed to it so I am still going to post my #teachingtuesday post (just a day late 🤷🏻♀️)
Thinking back on a class that reminded me why I teach math:
💭 Every student can do rigorous math.
💭 Every student belongs at the math table.
When students feel capable and included, everything changes.
What belief guides your classroom? 👇

If there is no crime, they will implicate there was crime.
If there is no violence, they will create violence.
They will traumatize our children, our grandparents, they will traumatize everyone in order to create a fascist spectacle.

Teaching Tuesday: This week my class compared practice standards across disciplines and then built Practice Pathways for our own units.
The best part? Seeing how across math, science, ELA, and social studies, practices drive coherence.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

Excited to be part of sharing some of this amazing work in Atlanta #NCTM25
This week’s class was asynchronous, which gave my students time to dig into disciplinary practices.
The big shift: seeing standards not as checklists, but as doorways into the ways to be a doer of the discipline outside of schools.

NEW: I tracked three dozen teachers, professors and other school staff who've been forced from their job or stepped away due to their comments on Charlie Kirk and his killing

Mid-conversation. Mid-idea. The kind of moments where curiosity meets collaboration — and we dream about what’s possible in #STEM education. #TeacherLife #STEMTeaching #edusky
She is an amazing educator who has inspire so much of my practice! I am so honored to have her as part of my community
My teacher ed class is full of PSTs across math, science, ELA, social studies and PE. This week we explored content storylines.
What I loved was hearing how each discipline engages in this work. Together we’re not just asking what the standards are, but also how and why they matter #teachingtuesday
August Sheila - I am giving detailed feedback so students realize I value learning over right answers
September Sheila - why is it taking so long to give all this feedback
Jokes aside it is warming my heart to read all the week 1 reflections (even if it is taking way longer than expected)
Instead of treating standards like a checklist ✅, we began the conversation around: How do standards connect to create a story of learning that is both discipline-rich and equitable?

I am going to attempt to use social media to share a window into my classroom like I used to with #teach180
Since I only teach once a week now, I am going to try #TeachingTuesday
✨ Teaching Tuesday ✨
This week in class we dug into standards-based unit planning using Equity by Design as our guide.
A peek behind the scenes at our annual business meeting 📊✨ We’re reflecting, planning, & dreaming big for the year ahead. Can’t wait to keep building momentum with this community of educators & leaders! #PBL #ProgressEDPathways #BehindTheScenes
My work with @carleemadis.bsky.social and @msdimaria.bsky.social is a finalist for #SXSWEDU please help us get there by voting ❤️

I was just on the website tonight and it says the deadline is 9/15? Is it actually 11/1 because that feels way more manageable to consider applying
I feel this so much!
That’s my hope. I also want to build in some intentional touch points in the weeks off but also recognize that students have a lot going on
Q3: I am teaching two new to me courses and the students and I only meet face to face every other week. I have no idea how I will build meaningful community when our interactions will be so infrequent #TODOSslowchat
