Dumb realization… The US spends around 1.7 Billion a year on standardized testing… I can think of numerous ways where 1.7 Billion can be invested to benefit students and help them become functioning members of society.

Year 3 ✅! Can’t wait to go back to 8th grade next year and be Department Chair! I’ve struggled with classroom management and thinking high ratings on TTESS were impossible for the last 2 years. This year I blossomed from my admin with TPT strategies and BTC math models!

I don’t understand how it’s already 2024, and educational stakeholders are still saying “Achievement Gap.”

So excited to be using a student-led data trackers for STAAR review! We will be doing 8 cambium assessments prior to STAAR. If students meet their growth goal, they’ll get a gold sticker to put by their name! 1 gold sticker = 1 assignment pass or snack

I would get so frustrated because I’ve never had resources to have skills practice, and ChatGPT has eliminated that barrier!

@Gonzales_MSMath I want thank you so much for changing my practice of I do, We do, You do and having listed steps. I stoped doing that this year and have moved to discourse activities with the Desmos curriculum, think-it-up, and thinking classroom! – at San Antonio, TX

It’s been such a payoff. The 6th graders are teaching me things I never thought of. Many of the kids have said that math is actually easy once you understand what it means. Yes, there’s some big gaps in learning, but I feel like I’m actually better able to make a difference! – at San Antonio, TX
