Reading Mathematics for Human Flourishing by Francis Su w/ MI-AMTE’s book club.

Grateful for the chance to talk math with educators across so many strands of math ed.

What’s a book that’s shaped how you think about math education?

Leading PD through inquiry groups. Ts set goals, ask inquiry questions, collect data, & analyze it together using protocols & roles. We cycle through this work & share our learning at the end of the year.

What’s standing out is how invested folks are in growth and learning from each other. #edusky

I just started a term on the TCTM board. We kicked things off with our January board meeting.

TCTM’s goals focus on building interest in math, supporting math teaching, strengthening teacher prep, & connecting with NCTM and CAMT.

Excited to learn, connect, & grow. Ask me about getting involved.

Recently became a National Board Certified Teacher.

It feels like both a milestone & a responsibility. The process strengthened my reflection & reminded me that excellent teaching is never static. When teachers continue to grow, students benefit most.

Spent the day in a #PBL workshop with coworkers and teachers new to PBL. Reflecting on projects and planning was a good reminder that learning happens when we take time to pause and reflect together. #mtbos #edusky #teach180 #PBLChat

@progressedpathways.bsky.social was featured on the Amidon Planet Podcast.

We talked about our collaboration, the work we’re doing, & STEM beliefs that brought us together. If you’re thinking about #PBL as a mindset, not just a model, this one’s worth a listen. amidonplanet.com/episode136

“When students move, think, and talk, the learning sticks.”

This chain rule scavenger hunt got students moving, discussing, and doing the math. Active learning doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.

A few weeks ago, my students took on trigonometric derivatives. We focused on discourse, agency, and collaboration. They stepped into the role of mathematicians and taught each other.

What structures are helping your students take the lead?

👏👏 Yes!! One of my favorite projects is where Ss designed a new school layout in Algebra 1 and presented it to our school board. The project has students asking to learn the quadratic formula! Students then 3D modeled their designs in their Graphic Design class. youtu.be/XGIygE3p9L4?...

When students are thinking, everything feels possible. Flow & confidence grow when we release perfection & focus on reflection.

Every “imperfect sort” reveals how students are thinking.
Thin slicing isn’t about getting it perfect; it’s about curiosity, reflection, and adjusting in real time.

At #NCTMATL25 in Atlanta, we challenged teachers to consider the impacts of AI as they use it in ways that support them in the classroom.

💡 One big takeaway? Be thoughtful with your prompts—the quality of your questions shapes the quality of your results. 🤖✨#edusky #mtbos #pblchat
