After beginning my teaching journey in January 2000, I’ve had the privilege of working across four school districts in special education before transitioning to teaching 7th grade math, a role I’ve proudly held for the past 18 years.

Now, I’m excited to close this chapter and begin a new adventure as a special education consultant w/Green Hills AEA. While I’ll deeply miss the daily connections with students I’m looking forward to supporting educators & impacting student success on a broader scale.

Each of these sentence starters can lead to new connections! Pass these to your math team, courtesy of leader @MrsBrooksPUSD.
Student handout with the header "Let's Talk Math!" Beneath is a grid of sentence starters, including "The strategy I used was..." and "I wonder if..." Students place a chip on a starter when they use it. When they run out of chips, they wait for others to speak.

Need feedback clarification on formative assessments vs summative assessments. Do you include quizzes as formative or summative? #sbg #iowasbg @mctownsley #mtbos

🧵 THREAD! Since introducing these one-pagers in my school in 2022, I’ve seen teachers’ engagement with evidence informed ideas sky-rocket. Teachers are time-poor, so distilling important ideas into an easily digestible format offers a practical solution. Here are 7 ways one-pagers support educators…

If you're feeling burned out by the end of the week, It's not just because of hours worked. In reality, the roots of burnout run much deeper. Leaders must learn to recognize when it's happening, And work to make things better before it's too late:

Want to get students to focus on expressing themselves—not just on writing the “right” thing? ✍️ Have them explore low-stakes writing with this range of stimulating prompts for every grade level: edut.to/3A9F2th

Gentle reminder: There is a phone in every classroom and a front office in every school, just in case you need to get a hold of your kid in an "emergency." Using this excuse as a reason why YOUR kid *needs* to have their phone in school is just really ridiculous.
