My latest for @BW investigates the elite international school industry. One in which schools request "White Only" teachers and job candidates are filtered by skin color. A thread--> bloomberg.com/news/features/… via @BW
Elite International Schools Have a Racism Problem

Elite International Schools Have a Racism Problem

Around the world, finishing schools for the Davos class teach excellence—as long as the excellence is White, Western, and English-speaking.

One example of how to implement this is to reduce or eliminate accelerating mathematics in the middle school. Spend time there on problem solving and going deeply instead of teaching multiple courses in one year just to get to Calculus faster.

I'm so tired of how much time we spend teaching math that few will ever use during their entire life, just in case a small percentage of us might need it. Like I've used almost nothing I learned in Geo, Alg 2, PreCalc, and Calc but I need statistics and other math all the time.

What does a student look like in your class who has procedural fluency but lacks conceptual understanding? Three from me. More from you. #iteachmath #fluencyisnotenough bit.ly/2PC4nzA
What Does Fluency Without Understanding Look Like?

What Does Fluency Without Understanding Look Like?

In the wake of Barbara Oakley’s op-ed in the New York Times arguing that we overemphasize conceptual understanding in math class, it’s become clear to me that our national conversation …

Curiosity is what makes students *want* to learn. How do you plan to inspire it in your students this coming school year?
