Our editorial (@zandrade.bsky.social , Amber Candela) not only summarizes the special issue but also lays out some of our concerns with past PD efforts, which we characterize as transformational PD, and depicts our approach to nudge-based incremental PD. #MathEd

Last year we went on a Listening Tour around Florida to hear what folks had to say about math education. It was fun & educational and spurred many good follow-up convos & activities. Thursday (12-12-24), we'll share the final findings in Tampa at our Summit. lastinger.center.ufl.edu/research/lis...

B4 I get to our PDPD Nudges, I thought I'd share a few of my fave videos from Two-Minute Teacher's Guide. This one is on variables & I think we did a good job highlighting some common challenges with variables and the various uses of letters and symbols in math. youtu.be/qpCUbB_2Vv4 #ITeachMath

Over the past few years, Me, @ottensam.bsky.social & Amber Candela have had a fun project, Practice-Driven PD (PDPD). We've made 18 instructional nudges for PDPD (& more to come). I'll share them soon, but 1st, here's me & Sam's prior project that inspired PDPD #ITeachMath twominuteteachersguide.com
