Our editorial (@zandrade.bsky.social , Amber Candela) not only summarizes the special issue but also lays out some of our concerns with past PD efforts, which we characterize as transformational PD, and depicts our approach to nudge-based incremental PD. #MathEd www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/15...

Instructional Nudges: The Core of Practice-Driven Professional Development
In September 2021, the PDPD project was launched to enhance teacher professional development through personalized instructional nudges. These manageable teaching actions aim to improve relevance and accessibility in PD, particularly in algebra. The focus is on tailored strategies that fit into existing practices, fostering impactful changes in teaching and student learning outcomes.

A nice little write up of the Listening Tour. If you listen to the story you’ll hear a brief clip of me. 😀 www.cfpublic.org/education/20...

Our set of brief reports will be available next week & one way we are disseminating findings to Summit attendees is with these little key chains. It was super fun to dream it up & see them come alive, they even have QR codes to audio clips from the Listening Tour. Excited for a great day Thursday!

Last year we went on a Listening Tour around Florida to hear what folks had to say about math education. It was fun & educational and spurred many good follow-up convos & activities. Thursday (12-12-24), we'll share the final findings in Tampa at our Summit. lastinger.center.ufl.edu/research/lis...

Thanks for sharing! I’m still framing conversations with policy makers and others around this idea and there is lots of work to do! With the rise in AI-based tech resources in the classroom I think it’s even more important to discuss and push developers to share their ideas of what math.

B4 I get to our PDPD Nudges, I thought I'd share a few of my fave videos from Two-Minute Teacher's Guide. This one is on variables & I think we did a good job highlighting some common challenges with variables and the various uses of letters and symbols in math. youtu.be/qpCUbB_2Vv4 #ITeachMath

Over the past few years, Me, @ottensam.bsky.social & Amber Candela have had a fun project, Practice-Driven PD (PDPD). We've made 18 instructional nudges for PDPD (& more to come). I'll share them soon, but 1st, here's me & Sam's prior project that inspired PDPD #ITeachMath twominuteteachersguide.com
