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?

The pause of #PAEMST might save pennies, but it costs recognition, growth, & community for the nation’s best #STEM #teachers

This award has celebrated 4,000+ educators since 1983.

1st round of weekly student goal setting ✅

Barriers named: time management, bedtime routines, procrastination, & motivation.

One student’s strategy for time management → make a schedule.

Proud of their vulnerability + awareness—sharing struggles built connections this week.

Mid-conversation. Mid-idea. The kind of moments where curiosity meets collaboration — and we dream about what’s possible in #STEM education. #TeacherLife #STEMTeaching #edusky

Tried one of @pwharris.bsky.social ‘s Math Is Figure-Out-Able challenges with my students this week & they crushed it. 💡

Connections & sense-making… the kind of math class moments we all want. 🙌

Have you used one yet? Highly recommend.

I’m a 2021 TX PAEMST awardee — and I’m heartbroken. NSF paused #PAEMST after $0 was allocated in the FY26 budget. This program celebrates #STEM educators shaping the future. We can’t lose it. Share your story. Contact policymakers.
