How fortunate was I to chat with @pambrett.bsky.social on her podcast! Thank you for welcoming me and giving me the opportunity to reflect on my journey as an educator. It was a treat to share my story, and my mission to honor, support, and celebrate educators ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿ’•

๐Ÿ”ฌ Meta-analytic research, like that of Visible Learning, has transformed education from tradition to science. We have evidence of what works bestโ€”letโ€™s use it to ensure every student thrives. ๐Ÿ“š #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #EdChat

Wondering if I'm the only person who takes tons of photos & videos and never posts them ๐Ÿคจ I'm FINALLY sharing this ROCK STAR NJ educator who brought me to tears. Watch how she masterfully uses silent teaching to INCREASE engagement. She makes math positive & joyful โค๏ธ Look at those proud facesโ˜บ๏ธ

Does it seem like the world keeps changing faster than it used to? It's not your imagination. It's #math. Do you ever wonder what future innovations we can't even yet imagine?! ๐Ÿคฏ What do *you* think is next for communication...is anyone working on digital smells? #RealWorldMath #MathSky

This looks amazing @anneliserecord.bsky.social New England people you should propose something for this!

Ann Elise Record@anneliserecord.bsky.social

Thrilled to announce that the proposal window for ATMNE 2025 is open. This year's theme is "Math Without Limits." We hope you consider submitting a session to join this set of amazing keynote and featured speakers! Click here to submit: forms.gle/7EPDczbvqB3S... #ITeachMath #ElemMathChat

YES!!! To make this a reality, special educators need access to the same high quality professional learning offered to their general education peers. Too often, they are excluded. Inclusive practices need to extend to the teachers and paraprofessionals who work with our most vulnerable students.

Lee Ann Jung@leeannjung.bsky.social

๐Ÿ’ฅ Assignment help is not intervention. Instead of asking special educators to assist with assignments and #homework, let's ask them to support foundational SKILLS and deep UNDERSTANDING. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

Amen. This goes both ways. Inclusion applies to teachers and I'm always upset when special educators are excluded from my trainings. Anyone supporting students needs access to the best resources & opportunities. Support the success of all teachers by including them in professional learning.

Lee Ann Jung@leeannjung.bsky.social

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซ Sometimes #teachers request special educators pull students from their class because they lack of confidence in their skills. Supporting teachers is as important as supporting students. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

THIS!!!!!! ๐Ÿ‘‡ If students don't have the opportunity to work without an adult, they are missing the most important lesson(s) of all. I see this with special educators as well. It's horrifying to see opportunity gaps this creates, even when we'll intended.

Lee Ann Jung@leeannjung.bsky.social

๐Ÿ‘ฅ A #student who is velcroed to a paraprofessional all day has not been included. Exclusion can happen even when sharing the same room. LRE is a low bar. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

The Yearbook Challenge! ๐Ÿ“ The school year is halfway over, and the yearbook isnโ€™t done! Can your 9-12 students figure out the earliest possible completion date given the tasks, time, and dependencies? ๐Ÿ‘‰ nctm.link/2e5wU #edusky #mathsky #iteachmath

Looking back at 2024 with gratitude. Conferences like CMC South, @NCSM, GetYourWorkshopOn, CAMT, NTCE/NCTM & more, helped me grow as a speaker & learner. 14 districts trusted me to support teachers & students ๐Ÿฉท Great memories w/ old & new friends. Cheers to progress! Thankful and excited for 2025 ๐Ÿซถ
