Any chance someone with an NCTM membership could send me an article I need for a class I’m taking? 🙏🏻 #ITeachMath

Amie untangles an issue that’s been percolating in math education for a while now- one that’s caused me to disengage a bit. Hoping to learn more and re-engage with a new perspective. “Teaching is too complex, and educational contexts too varied, to be reduced to one-size-fits-all solutions.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

2/2 "Phrases such as 'higher achievement,' 'positive outcomes,' and 'better results' typically refer only to standardized test scores. These are poor indicators of intellectual proficiency and primarily measure either socioeconomic status or the extent of students' training in test-taking skills."

Trying to explain to my 4-year-old that I don’t need as much sleep as she does. This did not help 🤦🏻‍♀️ #badgraphs #ITeachMath #TMWYK

Hello! I’m so happy to have the #ITeachMath community back ❤️ I taught math for 13 years, but this is my first year as an instructional coach. Something I’ve been struggling with in this new position is the role of content-area “expertise” in the coaching world. (When) do you… 1/2
