Missing all of the interaction I used to have with my mtbos/i teach math connections.
I hope all of you have a great 25-26 school year. 📚✏️ May you be able to teach the way you know is best for your students. Please take care of yourself and continue the good work!

Modeling expectations and strategies is 🔑.
I’m so excited to sit in a room full of adults and be talked at for days, absorbing content will be neither differentiated nor will the delivery be best practice, in hopes that it’ll inspire and prepare me to be the teacher my students need and deserve 🙃

9 things to know about the big, private-school voucher plan in Republicans' tax bill
NPR asked researchers, advocates, tax experts, a parent and a public school leader for their thoughts on this first-of-its-kind national voucher plan. Here's what they said.

Information is more easily integrated & organized when it's learned in an embodied, situated, social context than when isolated decontextualized information must be integrated & organized as a separate step later on. This is exactly how experiential/constructivist models work to build knowledge:
