Make Tier 1 the priority. Make Tier 1 the priority. Make Tier 1 the priority. Tiers 2 & 3 are a direct reflection of how effective your Tier 1 is working. Design Tier 1 so that it is all is should be for learners & teachers. It's the only way things change.

A reminder that there are MANY valid ways of doing arithmetic so if we just focus on standard algorithms as the only way, it makes sense that a lot of people don't feel like they're a math person because their ways, or ways that might make more sense to them, aren't being taught.

1/2: "We often tell Ss to "show your work". Yet, what we are really asking them to do is "show my work" - meaning show me the way I showed you how to solve it..." @Lempp5 speaking to my heart on the importance of constructive struggling in mathematics!

Thank you to Dr. Christian Kirby, AP at @CHS_Warriors, for speaking with our NTIP teachers today on educational law and ethics! Practical advice and wisdom - ignorance to the law is no exception to the law!

What scenario would benefit from a coaching cycle right now? Our ICE candidates practiced producing, improving, and prioritizing their coaching questions tonight with the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) protocol to address the work ahead of them! 👏👏 @CherokeeSchools

If anyone wants to know what's going on inside my head while I'm teaching, it's basically like: "Give them more time to think. Give them more time to think. Give them more time to think. Give them more time to think. Give them more time to think. Give them more time to think."
