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

Inspired by Peter Liljedahl’s session “Thin Slicing 101: A Deep Dive into the Heart of #BuildingThinkingClassrooms” at #NCTMATL25

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.
Inspired by Peter Liljedahl’s session “Thin Slicing 101" at #NCTMATL25.

Grateful to share at #NCTMATL25 how Student Success Plans can help make belonging visible all year long — so every student feels seen and supported in math.

#NCTMATL25 reminded me that conferences are really about people. The sessions are great, but the best moments happen when you connect with fellow educators, share ideas, and leave inspired. Grateful for every conversation in Atlanta! #EdChat #MathEd #edusky

Heading to #NCTM2025! 🌟

Excited to lead 3 sessions this year:
🧩 #71 – PBL: Enhanced by AI, Personalized with Teacher Expertise
💫 #151 – Setting the Stage for Belonging
🤝 #193 – Critically Conscious Math Mentoring

Let’s build math spaces where every learner belongs. 💛

Thinking back on a class that reminded me why I teach math:

💭 Every student can do rigorous math.
💭 Every student belongs at the math table.

When students feel capable and included, everything changes.
What belief guides your classroom? 👇

Goal setting with teachers shouldn’t be a compliance exercise—it should be an inquiry process

I used the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) from the @rightquestioninst.bsky.social to lead teachers in year-long goal setting rooted in reflection

When content + practice align, STEM learning becomes powerful.

Attending to Content Storylines and Practice Pathways helps students see how ideas and skills connect.

What’s your go-to move for designing cohesive #PBL projects?

The pause of #PAEMST might save pennies, but it costs recognition, growth, & community for the nation’s best #STEM #teachers

This award has celebrated 4,000+ educators since 1983.

1st round of weekly student goal setting ✅

Barriers named: time management, bedtime routines, procrastination, & motivation.

One student’s strategy for time management → make a schedule.

Proud of their vulnerability + awareness—sharing struggles built connections this week.

Mid-conversation. Mid-idea. The kind of moments where curiosity meets collaboration — and we dream about what’s possible in #STEM education. #TeacherLife #STEMTeaching #edusky

Tried one of @pwharris.bsky.social ‘s Math Is Figure-Out-Able challenges with my students this week & they crushed it. 💡

Connections & sense-making… the kind of math class moments we all want. 🙌

Have you used one yet? Highly recommend.

Community is built in the small, daily routines.

We start every day with a 5-min “community opener”:
⭐ Make It Happen Mon
⭐ Tackle-It Tues
⭐ Would You Wed
⭐ Trailblazer Thurs
⭐ Feel Good Fri

Would you use a free guide w/ ready-to-use prompts? If so, let me know ⬇️

Collaboration in PD should look like the collaboration we want from students. If we believe in group problem-solving for kids, why not for ourselves?

What’s your favorite collaborative PD move?

Nothing like starting the year by tackling the big question: what do our students really need for college & career success?

We unpacked practice standards, defined rigor, & connected them to skills students need for college & career success. Teachers left ready to plan with purpose.

Summer was full of learning, connection & a few moments of awe. Grateful for spaces that helped me reflect, grow, & return to this work with new energy.

✨ Here’s a look at some of those moments. Curious—what stuck with you this summer?

As the school year approaches, it is time to connect with new educators to foster community, collaboration & spark creative ideas for the school year! A follow train has begun to connect educators to each other!🚂

Thanks to @teachwithmrbailey for getting it started on IG! Join the train below 👇

Article Revisit! 🧠🎓 We shared a framework for designing STEM PBL that’s truly discipline-rich—built from real teaching.

“The most powerful learning moments happen when students are thinking together.”

We don’t just teach content—we build collaborative minds.

What does collaborative learning actually look like in the classroom?

You can now watch 20 min of my students working through a group task—warm-up, roles, reflection & all. Plus, there’s a worksheet to use yourself.

#PAEMST has recognized & honored excellent #STEMteaching for over 40 years. Now, NSF has cut the budget so without #Congress refunding it, #PAEMST will cease to exist. Please reach out to your Congressional rep and Senators to ask them to #FundPAEMST & #SavePAEMST.

Excited to share the Collaborative Learning Primers from @digitalpromise.bsky.social!
