ALT Photograph of a whiteboard with the handwritten text: "Reminders for Math Students. 1. Everyone can learn math at high levels. 2. When you believe in yourself, your brain thinks differently. 3. Mistakes grown your brain. Struggle is good for you. 4. It isn't important to be fast in math. It is more important to think deeply and creatively. 5. You can do hard things. :)"

A new study confirms that reading comprehension strategies work best if combined with background knowledge.
And: the effect of 55 hours of instruction is the same as 1 hour. Kids get WAY more than 55 hrs in school. @DTWillingham

How was this photo captured? NBA photog. Joe Murphy was stationed on the opposite end of the floor using an overhead remote camera.
“Once I saw him do that flex, I hit the remote button. I only had one shot, it was one picture, and the moment was over."

Students are buying a Thanksgiving feast and using exactly $250 to do it. We priced our items, and now they are using their addition and subtraction strategies to figure out exactly what they can buy. Math being relatable to real life makes math fun! 🦃➕➖
Students generating their own questions in 5th grade RLA 👏👏💡💡This is a great way to have students interact with the text in authentic ways. @FairOaksRanchES @BoerneISD #rla #learning
Our PLC today focused on sorting verbs in the different quadrants to define the levels of rigor in our instruction. All learners need to be engaged in complex cognitive tasks that fall in their sweet spot of learning, even us as adult learners! @BoerneISD @FairOaksRanchES #rigor

Prior to starting our NF unit, my readers organized/categorized their NF library. They created temporary labels (yes I see the misspelled words…not the focus rn 🤪) and chose bins. They are PROUD and OWN this space! 🤩

Wow! What a great time of learning, growing and sharing with @BoerneISD T&L and IC teams at TLC! #TLC2022 – at San Antonio, TX
The panel discussion helped piece together the pieces in my head of how an instructional coaching program thrives in some of the largest, successful school districts in TX. Instructional coaching is a learning + growing process to maximize student success. #TLC2022 @BoerneISD
Another engaging day of learning alongside my team at #TLC2022 @jimknight99 @BoerneISD Big take aways for today were the S.I.M.P.L.E framework from @coachandteach and the healthy teacher, happy classrooms research that got us moving and grooving with @drmarciatate. #learning
