Core steps in moving from tier 1 + tier 3, to integrating tier 2 instruction into the gen ed classroom.

What Works For Me! “I’ve had my students write down on multiple sticky notes this year what they would want to hear on tough days. I collected those notes and handed them out when I saw students needed them. The power of their own positive words returning to them made a difference.” —Danielle Sicotte, Teacher

“The power of their own positive words returning to them made a difference.” 📝 🧡

I don't think it's a coincidence that teachers who are warm demanders tend to expect a great deal of themselves, know and take pride in their strengths, and are disciplined and structured about addressing their weaknesses.

Thoughts from #ATMNE25: When looking at school culture, consider, "How are adults talking about kids? How are admin talking about teachers?" Need to be viewing both with a mindset of growth, opportunity, not deficit. @marriamath.bsky.social

Key additional info for those who don't get a lot of trick-or-treaters. If I'm spending $17 for 55 pieces of candy, that bag better not include plain ol' Hershey's Bars.

6th graders used ratio reasoning to consider which doll body parts are the most absurd. (This project was inspired by another 6th grade teacher. Paying it forward for anyone else who might want to try. brimmermay-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/person...) #mtbos

Looking for some interesting ratio reasoning for Halloween? Which candy would you rather buy? #mtbos #iteachmath

Gr 2-3 Puzzle Club meets on Friday afternoons. This opt-in time is for ANY students who love puzzling and collaborative problem solving as joyful, social math isn't only for those who finish core assignment in class, or who don't have other learning needs. #elemmathchat @mathequalslove.bsky.social

7 Essentials Ensure Your School Has a Culture of Belonging For our students to be well educated, activist citizens who lead fulfilling lives, they need schools that foster a culture of belonging, writes Regie Routman.

7 ESSENTIALS TO ENSURE A CULTURE OF BELONGING.

“You are welcome here.” It’s the message every student longs to hear as they walk through a classroom door for the 1st time. #edusky #T2Tchat @larryferlazzo.bsky.social @sharemylesson.bsky.social @amleorg.bsky.social

I heart your post, but I don't heart this.

Great Q! Often I'll instruct students to finish a handful of problems and then look for a peer to check with. If no one is ready, I tell them to start the next set, then pause when classmates have caught up. Like all things, it takes time and management to develop routines that work for you!

Find Your (Math) People Teaching is hard. The day-to-day cycle of planning, presenting, orchestrating, testing, and reflecting is continuous, and there’s always the uncertainty of how the students will show up (or not) to…

New blog post! "Find Your (Math) People" -- about the vitally important connections we make w/other teachers.

Be a buddy, find your groups, and carry on the legacy of @druinok.bsky.social who left us too soon.

Positioning Elementary Students as Experts in Math Class Encouraging students to take on roles traditionally reserved for teachers creates a shared culture of teaching and learning in the classroom.

Excited to share my recent article published on @edutopia.org! It doesn't take much to start to shift practice towards a more shared culture of teaching and learning in our math classrooms. #MTBOS #elemmathchat #iteachmath #edusky #mathsky

Managing Your Class Without Collective Punishment Even in moments of frustration, teachers can hold disruptive students accountable without punishing the class as a group.

When something goes wrong in class, collective punishment probably isn’t the answer, says educator Matthew Ebert.

But if you head down that path, there’s still a way to come back and build trust with students. Here’s how. 👇

Math Pickle is the BEST! Some of my favs include Mondrian Art Puzzles, Pollinator puzzles, Venus Fly Trap (decimals), Ninja Bed Bugs, Conhex, Fractured fractions, Squaring the square. Never done the venn diagram puzzle, but maybe for 3-5 puzzle club on Friday... ;)

Looking forward to this one! #OAME25

In case you haven’t lately, survey your students. I always forget how much valuable input students are willing to give when you give them the chance!

Not enough people are paying attention to the multiple levels at which eliminating the Department of Education works to advance a bad agenda.

As a sociologist, I'm seeing some things are worth your attention as you argue about the role of EdGov in our students' lives: (1/6) 🧵
