Cole pulled over in Galt, CA to record Episode 80 of Math On the Rocks. We talk about developing math fact fluency is the result of inquire AND direct instruction. Not one or the other.

Proud of our CMC Leadership representing us, CMC members and mathematics in California, in Sacramento before the California State Assembly Education Committee! Pic shows our CMC State President Hilda Villarreal Wright sitting next to Linda Darling-Hammond. Thank you 💙

The only people who will benefit from Sold A Story Season 2 are Emily Hanford, the handful of DI consultants grifters partnering with AEI, and massive curriculum companies. Not kids. Not teachers. The feeding frenzy for funding has already started.

Oh, lord. Season 2 of "Sold a Story" drops tomorrow, & if the preview is any indication, then 2 things will happen: 1. The "Direct Instruction" bros on Twitter & elsewhere will be insufferable. 2. Many of us are about to spend a lot of time undoing damage. features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story...

I wish I had heard of this wonderful idea while I was still in the classroom. I would have done this.

A math publisher was given 30 minutes to guide teachers where they will find the information in the product to make it easier to fill out the rubrics. Also to help the adoption committee log into the online platform. Instead the publisher used the entire time on a sales pitch. #iTeachMath

In the NFL there are currently three 4-0 teams and five 0-4 teams. I wonder, over the many years, which is more common? 4-0 or 0-4? I have no clue where to find out that answer. #Probability #MathIsEverywhere #DuaneHasSomeFreeTimeToWonder

Mark Twain probably didn't actually say this, but my job title is literally Director of Continuous Improvement, so I at least endorse the sentiment.

"In outstanding classrooms, teachers do more listening than talking, and students do more talking than listening. Terrific teachers often have teeth marks on their tongues." From "A Dozen Essential Guidelines for Educators" by Alfie Kohn

As I see it, the diagram of the gears seems to be suggesting that when we try to combine curriculum, leadership, and professional learning communities, then the gears won't work and the system comes to a standstill. Can we just fix the image please?
