two computer screens. the top one shows a slide from our presentation give the participants directions for the poster activity- “make a poster for one of the 13 disability categories. should include: -definition/prevalence -characteristics/impact on learning -teaching strategies” the bottom screen is of the google slide deck everyone is working on to complete the activity. you can see that some of the participants are further along than others.

teaching our new swd 2.0 class and loving using google slides to create posters about the 13 categories of disabilities. it’s fun to watch in real time. #fea #unionstrong #iteach

why does the canvas assignment batch edit page take forever to work? there is no reason for a lag after putting in a date. this makes starting a unit take waaaaaaay too long. #iteach

finished my grades for the quarter. one class has 8 students failing. one class has no f’s or d’s. clearly my class is not difficult but does require some effort and that’s all i really ask for. #iteach

I saw on social media and I can't remember who, but I remember what and it was that he attended conferences like concerts. I felt that deep in my teaching soul. Each lanyard means a moment, a connection, a resource that I bring back to my students. #ITeach #NHTOY #NHTOY #RuralEducation

working with leanne on our students with disabilities course at barnes and noble. we have way too much fun together. people are staring. #iteach

why are students messaging me? why are they attempting to do work that hasn’t even been assigned yet? it’s spring break. sleep. go to the beach. watch a movie. read a book. don’t think about school. that’s what i’m doing. #iteach #springbreak

Periodically return to the basics of place value. 5th graders are expected to read/write numbers and round to any place value. These concepts are usually taught in isolation, then rapidly forgotten. Consider integrating this work throughout the year. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky #iteach

students on an early release day before spring break and the last day of the quarter: miss, the only reason i came to school was to go to your class and take these quizzes.

at least admin can’t complain about me not teaching from bell to bell. #iteach

a man with smoke coming out of his head says here i go again overthinking . ALT: a man with smoke coming out of his head says here i go again overthinking .

I am struggling with the sadness and overthinking. Talked with a parent today and neither of us have a solution for a significant issue. Apathy in students is so real. Massive job cuts going on. It’s a hard time to be a teacher right now. #iteach #readsomefhing #depression #anxiety #wtf

someone set something on fire in the bathroom trash can. so we’re spending some lunch time outside today. #iteach

Which one is unique? Why?

Check out this math strategy anchor charts from a kindergarten classroom. This rockstar teacher showcased strategies her mathematicians use on a regular basis in a clear, accessible way promoting choice, independence and perseverance. #iteach #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

Okay, so yesterday I saw a video in which some A"I" was having trouble counting. I just realized that in assigning homework for an intro lab, I skipped "3". No wonder I'm confused about what I've graded.
#iTeach

today is not starting out right. our testing website is having issues. the copier is down. i’m all over the place. #iteach

Take photos of your mathematicians’ counting collections and use them as image talks. Build your own collection of photos for image talks that engage your students in high-level thinking and flexible problem solving. #iteach #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

4 Ways to Make Story Problems More Engaging and Accessible Four simple strategies—beginning with an image, previewing vocabulary, omitting the numbers, and offering number sets—can have a big impact on learning.

Scripted curricula are written for imaginary students. My article in @edutopia.org highlights 4 strategies to effectively adapt lessons to be more inclusive & engaging for real-life learners. #iteach #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

me: *sends out an automated message for each assignment students are missing*

student: MISS!!! you just emailed me 28 times!!! stop blowing up my phone!!!

me: maybe if you did your work on time, i wouldn’t have to send you messages reminding you to turn in your work.

My students are making some stunning parametric and polar art. To help them, I share the wonderful website mathcurves and was pleasantly surprised when a student used a fish curve to make a fish. How cool is this curve?

me:*making some changes to my lms webpage html*
student: wow! you can code?!?! that’s so cool!!
me: i can do basic html with a lot of help from the internet.
student: i could never.
me: get a myspace page.

truly love spending all this time making copies especially on the “slow” copier because the “good” one is broken. #iteach

I'm sharing this choral count and inviting you to share your noticings. Then, I'll create a video that shows how I'd represent your ideas. Many teachers avoid routines because they aren't sure how to capture student thinking. The only way to get better is to try. #iteach #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

They can be! Slow chats sometimes work.

History at the Movies #HATM has been doing regular chats the most successfully of those I know of. @stephsukow.bsky.social ran an #engsschat last spring.

You can use the #iteach____ for any subject to find a feed of teachers of the same subject.

I’ve added an image talk section to my website themathcollective.com! That way you can access the images I’ve been sharing with greater ease! Let me know what you think. #mathsky #iteach #iteachmath #edusky

In my first Family Math video, I share ways for families to engage in math conversations with children of all ages using everyday contexts. Link to the video is in bio. I'd love to hear what you think and what other topics you think families should hear about. #iteach #mathsky #edusky #iteachmath

my favorite part of the last day of school before winter break is walking into the wawa and seeing three other teachers in their holiday pajamas and a “i can make it through four hours today” look in their eyes. #iteach

Day 2 of Holiday Sweets Image Talks features Mike and Ikes.

that “but you did” at the end!

as a teacher i have had this conversation so many times. i’m now using this line. #iteach
