* Cautionary tales
Authors: @P_A_Kirschner, @C_Hendrick.
There's a great episode of @rastokke's Chalk and Talk podcast featuring @P_A_Kirschner that I encourage you to check out, too.

Great teachers don’t leave success to chance—they assume nothing, prepare for everything, and respond with evidence. Excellence isn’t luck; it’s intentional. #TeachingExcellence

Even the worst days contain their rewards, reminds AP David Johnson.
ALT "There are no normal days as a school leader. There are thrilling days. Terrifying days. On your worst day, a student will remind you why you do this. You will be learning as you run 1,000 miles an hour. You will learn more about yourself than you thought possible." —Assistant Principal David Johnson

"Only extraordinary education is concerned with learning; most is concerned with achieving: and for young minds, these two are very nearly opposite."

We held our System Leadership meetings today. Creative hats and more importantly a recognition that as leaders we care for many and must also look to one another for support.

Question: Have I written a College Algebra tome, or is it really a pre-service teacher's piece?

US math (+maybe physics) teachers...
The word 'exponential' has entered the vocab of nearly every Ss I teach.
My understanding is that it's exponential if the rate of it depends on it - that's how I teach it in calc based physics.
What's going on?
