I’m officially a National Board Certified Teacher in Mathematics.

Grateful for the Margins to Center cohort at NBRC Stanford, the Knowles Teacher Initiative, and all those who supported me through it.

Congrats to all the new #NBCTs & encouragement to everyone still on the journey. You’ve got this.

A few weeks ago, my students took on trigonometric derivatives. We focused on discourse, agency, and collaboration. They stepped into the role of mathematicians and taught each other.

What structures are helping your students take the lead?

When students are thinking, everything feels possible. Flow & confidence grow when we release perfection & focus on reflection.

Every “imperfect sort” reveals how students are thinking.
Thin slicing isn’t about getting it perfect; it’s about curiosity, reflection, and adjusting in real time.

At #NCTMATL25 in Atlanta, we challenged teachers to consider the impacts of AI as they use it in ways that support them in the classroom.

💡 One big takeaway? Be thoughtful with your prompts—the quality of your questions shapes the quality of your results. 🤖✨#edusky #mtbos #pblchat

Grateful to share at #NCTMATL25 how Student Success Plans can help make belonging visible all year long — so every student feels seen and supported in math.

#NCTMATL25 reminded me that conferences are really about people. The sessions are great, but the best moments happen when you connect with fellow educators, share ideas, and leave inspired. Grateful for every conversation in Atlanta! #EdChat #MathEd #edusky

This week’s class was asynchronous, which gave my students time to dig into disciplinary practices.

The big shift: seeing standards not as checklists, but as doorways into the ways to be a doer of the discipline outside of schools.

Thinking back on a class that reminded me why I teach math:

💭 Every student can do rigorous math.
💭 Every student belongs at the math table.

When students feel capable and included, everything changes.
What belief guides your classroom? 👇

Our language shapes what we believe is possible. Let’s make sure it reflects the strengths students bring.

We’ve put together a reflection tool for shifting from deficit-based to asset-based language in classrooms.

Goal setting with teachers shouldn’t be a compliance exercise—it should be an inquiry process

I used the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) from the @rightquestioninst.bsky.social to lead teachers in year-long goal setting rooted in reflection

When content + practice align, STEM learning becomes powerful.

Attending to Content Storylines and Practice Pathways helps students see how ideas and skills connect.

What’s your go-to move for designing cohesive #PBL projects?
