The pre-order is LIVE! 📖 One of my favorite parts of writing this book was revisiting one of my Algebra 1 projects and seeing it through a different lens. If you want to be one of the first to get a copy, pre-order now! @progressedpathways.bsky.social www.routledge.com/9781041331926

Tough week? Draw something. ✏️ We spent a few minutes passing drawings around and adding to each other’s work. The results were ridiculous. The laughter was needed. Sometimes that’s the team building we need. ❤️ #TeacherWellbeing #SchoolCulture #edusky #teach180 #PBLchat

A classroom teacher. A university professor. A curriculum author. Different roles, shared passion. Before our weekly ProgressED Pathways meeting, our days look pretty different. Each of us brings experiences from our corner of education into the work we do together. #MathEd #STEMEd #PBL

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the annual conference for the Knowles Teacher Initiative in Atlanta.Every year, this conference feels a little like coming home. It’s a chance to reconnect with a community of educators who continue to challenge, encourage, and inspire me. There are very few spaces where I leave feeling this energized.This community has had a profound impact on my growth as an educator. The opportunities I’ve had through @knowlesteachers have shaped not only how I teach, but how I think about leadership, professional learning, and contributing to our profession.This year I had the chance to facilitate a session with fellow Senior Fellows on professional learning, present a poster session, lead a conference session, and spend time planning the work we’ll take on together this year. I left energized, challenged, and excited for what’s ahead.To everyone who makes this community what it is, thank you.And one more exciting thing… next year’s conference is in Austin! If you’re already part of the Knowles community, I hope I’ll see you there.If you’re an early-career high school math or science teacher, I hope you’ll consider applying to become a Knowles Teaching Fellow. It truly has been one of the most transformative experiences of my career.#KnowlesTeachingInitiative #MathEducation #ScienceEducation #ProfessionalLearning #TeacherCommunity

Had the chance to join the TeacherGuard podcast to talk about teaching, innovation, healthy risks, and leading through uncertainty. One takeaway: sustainable change depends as much on when we introduce ideas as what those ideas are. 🎧 Worth a listen: open.spotify.com/episode/4dx7...  #Edusky
