I had the privilege to talk about #math and the #scienceoflearning with PEI K-9 teachers yesterday afternoon.

It is about framing our instruction on how students learn.

That’s awesome!!

What’s Missing In Math Instruction?

Teachers cannot just focus on content. Teachers MUST also consider HOW students learn and WHAT this means for instruction!

Two of my books are in the top 100 for Teaching Math on Amazon.ca

Both books are filled with resources and tasks that can immediately be used in the classroom.

I’m looking forward to a great day of learning at @researchEDCan.

I’m leading two sessions:
- Making Math Stick
- Fixing Professional Learning

Both sessions explore how the science of learning can be leveraged to support instruction and learning.

My session #CAP2025 starts in 10 minutes.

I’ll examine how we need to revise our approach to professional learning and I’ll share an approach we can take to ensure professional learning meets its intended goals.

I’m thrilled to be at @CdnPrincipals for their annual conference.

I’m leading a session on how we can strengthen professional learning by infusing #ScienceofLearning into how we plan, structure and facilitate professional learning.

Thanks for the shoutout!

Let me know how things go with the resources that I shared!

David was my last presentation at OAME and made me truly stop and think about what kind of questions I provide students. Then he dropped the ultimate teacher freebie: the New Daily Cumulative Review! I cannot wait to share this incredible resource with my colleagues today! #OAME #scdsb #math

I had the opportunity to attend an #OAME2025 session facilitated by @GLewisOCT. It was fantastic!!

Awesome! We love to see these opportunities for learning<3

I’m looking forward to chatting #math with educators attending #OAME2025.

I’ll be talking about problem solving, metacognition and a literate environment this afternoon.
