It is about framing our instruction on how students learn.

Check it out!

Two of my books are in the top 100 for Teaching Math on Amazon.ca

Both books are filled with resources and tasks that can immediately be used in the classroom.

I’m looking forward to a great day of learning at @researchEDCan.

I’m leading two sessions:
- Making Math Stick
- Fixing Professional Learning

Both sessions explore how the science of learning can be leveraged to support instruction and learning.

Thank you to ⁦‪Pearson Canada‬⁩ for the sample copies of #Mathology.

I was part of the author team for the Grade 9 Practice Workbook.

Nice to look through the teacher and student editions.

What am I doing before watching tonight’s big hockey game?

I’m creating Daily Cumulative Review questions for Grades 3-8 and Problem of the Week tasks for Grades K-8.

Both will be posted to my website shortly.

My session #CAP2025 starts in 10 minutes.

I’ll examine how we need to revise our approach to professional learning and I’ll share an approach we can take to ensure professional learning meets its intended goals.

I’m thrilled to be at @CdnPrincipals for their annual conference.

I’m leading a session on how we can strengthen professional learning by infusing #ScienceofLearning into how we plan, structure and facilitate professional learning.

I always love attending ⁦‪Reading For The Love Of It Conference. Great conversations about literacy, learning and math.

I’m presenting two sessions on metacognition in math and how we can reframe the traditional question of “Does Your Answer Make Sense?”
