"I started this routine back in January with my students, and it was incredible!"
When educator @TheLiteracyDive asked Ss to rate their mastery, she learned so much about her own teaching!

Visited an elementary school today that intentionally schedules the same amount of time to teach math as they do for reading. Finally. I asked the principal how he made that happened. He looked at me sort of surprised and said, “That’s just what you do!” Yes sir. Yes it is. – at Indianapolis, IN

1) Calling "low" kids "strivers" doesn't help. 2) Being surprised a "low" child understood a mathematical concept through a strategy that isn't a standard US algorithm is not ok. Redefining how you think about your students is what you should be doing instead.
Our position statement on Ability Labels is out now: nctm.link/Lto5B
ALT Ability labels are false.
ALT Ability labels are oppressive.
ALT Ability labels are incompatible with current purposes for mathematics education.
ALT Personal, structural, and systemic changes are all important and necessary.

What everyday objects can inspire mathematical thought and curiosity? Could you gather formative assessment data from them? Last call to register to learn more about daily formative assessment strategies with Kim Morrow-Leong and Nataki McClain at SLI2023. bit.ly/42JwqSW

"We're going to be back and we're going to keep pounding on that door...I was super hopeful for this particular team that they could be the one to knock that door down."
@coachchris14 was emotional post-game reflecting on what this year's team mean to him.
