I saw these beautiful displays of vegetables ready for Thanksgiving shoppers and realized they invite not only gratitude but also mathematical thinking. How might you use these in your math classroom?

Agency is vital for educators. It empowers us to make informed, intentional decisions that positively impact our teaching, our students, and our own well-being. This can lead to a sense of ownership and purpose in our roles, which impacts us and our learners. #agency #edu #motivation #choiceandvoice

Belonging means being part of a group where you feel safe and happy. But to really feel like you belong, you have to be your imperfect self.

It sounds like a much-needed book! I look forward to reading it. Holly Burwell and I just submitted our manuscript to Corwin for The 8 Habits of Highly Effective Math Students (and the Teachers who Support Them).

I can't wait to read it. When is your pub date?
