We spent 2 days visiting Halifax elementary schools. It was exciting to see so many ideas from our PL in motion. Thank you to the South Boston and Cluster Springs teams. Together, we paused to reflect and those conversations were powerful.

Elem. teachers in Pulaski County are ready to #ChangeTheStory in their class!
We spent time engaging in student-centered #MathWorkshop ideas:
🌟 Reasoning Routines
🗣️ Mathematical Discourse
✍️ Student Choice & Stations
🧠 Productive Struggle
The person doing the talking is the person doing the t
So much joy in visiting classrooms at Walton MS in Albemarle and seeing teachers bring our student‑centered learning work to life. The rooms were buzzing with discourse, collaboration, and mathematical thinking. You could almost hear the students thinking!

Had a wonderful time at Metz Middle in Manassas City Public Schools! Thank you for the incredible hospitality and for letting me dive into some math talk moves with your teachers and students. I loved hearing which strategies resonated with the team. #ChangeTheStory #MathWorkshop
Honored and appreciative to be invited back to keynote at Loudoun County’s Secondary Math PL Day.
Throughout the day, we focused on how to support students better understand their own learning and approach assessments with confidence and clarity.

Cluster Springs Elem in Halifax brought the energy on a Friday afternoon! Smiles, laughter, and rich collaboration filled the room as we dug into #MathWorkshop and ways to be just a little better tomorrow than today. I’m looking forward to coming back!

...Until something sticks.

Spent the day with K–5 teachers at South Boston Elem in Halifax. Their energy, reflection, and commitment to strengthening their practice were evident. Their students are fortunate to have teachers who care about meaningful learning.

Learning walks pay off! Eric and the Dinwiddie Middle School science team are using learning walks to optimize their practice. We celebrated what teachers are doing and considered ways to make it better tomorrow! Their goal is to #ChangetheStory so #EveryoneIsASciencePerson!
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.

Our Cycle to Success workshop, teachers explored how to make cell biology tangible through hands-on modeling. Stop telling, start making sense of science. Using SEPs and tools, we focused on shifting the cognitive load to the learner.

In Career and Technical Education (CTE), blueprints aren’t just pictures, they are complex documents. Today, we’re using the Alike and Different routine to bridge between 2D technical drawings and 3D reality.
Check out how these spark deep industrial reasoning!

A privilege to present at the GSSA on two topics close to my heart: purposeful leadership for the school year and empowering administrators to recognize and support high-quality science instruction. Counting down to next year’s summit!

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

Cover of the 2018 book BLACKFISH CITY which is written in semi-neon letters over an Indigenous-looking symbol of a curled whale-like entity with a person atop holding something that knowing the content of the book is probably a spear but also looks like a giant paint brush. The cover also has the author's name: Sam J. Miller, the words "a novel" and a promotional blurb from Ann Leckie which reads "Simmers with menace and heartache."
"Stories are where we find ourselves, where we find the others who are like us. Gather enough stories and soon you're not alone, you are an army." - City Without A Map
From @sentencebender.bsky.social's gripping 2018 cli-fi novel Blackfish City. #ChangeTheStory
We believe in building relationships, rolling up our sleeves, and doing the hard work alongside our partners.
