A thought-provoking paper by @AEF_Program 20-22 colleague @ProfShakB about rethinking HS mathematics. Way to go Dr. Bland!

So excited that @EinsteinFellows opened the door for me to work on this project! And big THANKS to my co-authors, @TrenaWilkerson, Christine Franklin, and @Prof_IdDeenL; it was great to work with you all!

Bonus question: Applications for becoming a part of the next group of #EinsteinFellows are open NOW until November 16. What’s one pro tip you’d like to share for building your own community of leaders? #EinsteinFellows23

As school gets underway, explore images of teachers & students from across U.S. history in a Library of Congress Free to Use and Reuse set loc.gov/free-to-use/teachers… #edchat

Do your students object to having to document their work, opinions and ideas in notebooks? Share how some people used their notebooks as a place to store ideas, review their work and consider modifications. blogs.loc.gov/teachers/2023/… #edchat #sschat #nsta

No need for #fomo. Applications are open now to become a part of the 2024-2025 Einstein Fellow cohort.

What a great way to help students form a positive math identity! Do YOU have a favorite activity to start the year? We’d love to hear your ideas! @NCTM @MathICTM
First day of the semester and continuing the tradition of students taking a picture with this frame. So many people don't believe they are a math person but I learned from Atomic Habits that it STARTS with identity, and everything else follows.

So glad to hear your first day as an #EinsteinFellows23 was a 'pinch me' moment. You'll have many of those this year @USGS_YES , Samantha and Sarah!
Having a little #fomoFriday?
Apply. This could be YOU next year.

Day one with @USGS_YES. Pinch me! Excited to build projects that will elevate science in a changing world!

Message of the year:
How do you spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel. The kindest person in the room is often the smartest.

As a cis, straight, white male who grew up in the 1970-80s, of course it was simple and easy! Certainly not true for everyone though. If you're not willing to think about complex and difficult, you are denying your own humanity as much as you are denying others'.
ALT Twitter post from Nikki Haley: "Do you remember when you were growing up, do you remember how simple life was, how easy it felt? It was about faith, family, and country. We can have that again, but to do that, we must vote Joe Biden out."

Public schools are not failing students.
Public school teachers are not failing students.
The system is failing public schools, teachers and students.
Stop saying public schools and teachers are failing students when the system is setting them up to fail.
Congrats to the #EinsteinFellows23! I hope you have an amazing adventure!

I was lucky to meet the awesome teachers from @KyCharge and chat Sanborn Maps! What does this map from Kentucky make you wonder? @TeachingLC #EinsteinFellows22

The edtechies, space #scientists, mathmagicians, policy leaders, and #teacher #STEM innovators. Bravo to our 16 new #EinsteinFellows23. They are in for the ride of their life!
