Don’t miss out on your own summer transformation!
One of my favorite summer PD series is back! 🙌
NCTM + NAEYC are offering a FREE Early Childhood Math Webinar Series this June — three sessions focused on developmentally appropriate math for PK–2 students. If you work with young mathematicians, don’t miss this one. Every child is a math person. ✨
@themathguru.bsky.social Vanessa Vakharia nailed it: teachers need to learn the math they teach in a way they finally understand.
Not more procedures.
Conceptual relearning, with the vertical thread visible.
I’m still doing that work alongside my teachers.
That’s where the shift begins.
the math teacher group chat when the CGI lineup drops:
“Linda Levi AND Megan Franke?”
“June 28–30 in Arizona”
“Math in the Sun is the next day??”
“D. Meyer. C. Tondevald F. Nguyen.”
“$235 and they FEED you??”
“booking a flight”

Math PD shouldn't be passive. It should be loud and driven by student agency. 🔥 We're tearing up the playbook at The Phoenician to shift authority to the kids.
