Post #3 of many - A new perspective
For this post, I'm sharing a different look at the curricular work of math teachers - that is the work of taking up, making sense, and planning with curriculum materials. (And the article is provided at the end of the thread 👇)

🚨 I’m starting something new: Mathematics Curriculum as Story & Design 🚨Each week I’ll share one of my articles on curriculum — for teacher educators, researchers, and anyone curious about how we design the mathematics students experience. 🧵

I am planning to start a series that shared my research on math teacher's curricular work. I don't post often, so I'm not sure many will see it. What are some tags I should include? TIA

In DC for the LEARN meeting, advocating for Educational Research funding. I'll get to meet with hill staffers and an advisor to the Dept of Ed on IES. If you have a question you'd like me to ask (assuming I'd have a chance), please share!

Hey all - I'm preparing a set of threads that will talk about what I've learned across my career as I've been a math teacher, math teacher educator, math curriculum designer, and now a math education researcher. I'm testing using Buffer to schedule so I can make sure I live up to my promises. :)

Hey all - this is my first post to this group. My partner and I are wondering : is the DS9 mirror universe the same as the one n Discovery? Or different? And how do you know?

Cool. I've been barred from having a bank account, can't get a line of credit, and have no assets. Lemme know if the thieves do any better with my data than I do.

This is a scale model of what real science is : an American refractor, a Chinese camera, a German reducer/flattener, an Italian focuser, a British Raspberry Pi, a Greek dew heater and so on...we all live on the same planet and share the same wonders up there, in the sky 😍. #Astrophotography 🔭📷

Wow
I grew up in a cult and, when I got out and realized everything I'd been taught was a lie, I used #StarTrekTNG is a guide for rebuilding my entire worldview. I owe so much to #StarTrek. It literally saved my life.

Incredible
Imaging a dark nebula is like trying to take a picture of a black cat, at night, with his eyes closed, 2 miles away. Hard to spot and even harder to image.

If you want to help accelerate Twitter's collapse, one way you can do so is by supporting creative people and small outlets on *this site*. Don't just like, share! Help them rebuild their audiences here!
If you follow me, consider following @contingent-mag.bsky.social too--the collapse of Twitter has been really terrible for small publications like ours, a non-profit history magazine that publishes and pays historians working off the tenure track.
