Shout out to Wake County Public School System Transportation & bus drivers! My son left his trumpet on the bus yesterday. I called and filled out the online form. By 8:30 this morning, I had received two lovely phone calls from Transportation and the trumpet had been found and returned. Thanks everyone!

So glad you are joining us now and that you found value in the day's content. Every day with the math coaches fills my bucket!

We've been talking a lot about close reading in literacy, so I'm framing Three Reads as a close reading strategy. Comprehension is our goal! #ElemMathChat

Finally had time to finish The Math Pact. It is so good, everyone! A must read for math coaches and instructional leaders. #mathpact

Just in case no one's told you this morning...

Just in case you haven't smiled today...

So lovely to meet you! And always lovely to spend time with Tomeka Delaney ! @EdCampEquity is filling my bucket today. #reconnect #recommit #reengage #EdCampEquity

Another name for “funds of knowledge” is schema. Culture is the software to the brain’s hardware. And all new learning must be coupled with one’s existing learning. Core principle of the science of learning. Colorblind ness= not teaching for understanding.

Hey WCPSS Math a coaches - weren't we *just* talking about this today?

We're missing the point about math anxiety and timed math tests. Whether the relationship is causational or not is NOT what's significant. The entanglement of these 2 concepts is blinding us to the dangers each brings to a student. Lean in, folks. I'm fired up. 🧵 #MTBoS

If you know me, you know that good books are one of my love languages. Shout out to Stacy Eleczko who sparked my joy today by spending the last 5 min of our work meeting talking about what we're reading/want to read!

Thanks to the staff from Barwell Elementary for welcoming us in the final hours before their track out to talk about MTSS! The incomparable @MitziSafrit led an engaging session for folks to make connections and identify next steps. WCPSS Title I Gioia Perry @WCPSS_IALS Chris Dunston
