If we don’t believe they can, they won’t. Students, teachers, administrators, schools…believe they all can, and they will.

I have the distinct joy of having a lot of incredible thought partners in my career. @ryanflessner.bsky.social, I’m glad you were the original.

At #ICTM25, I was thinking about the question posed about why do you love math? I think my answer is the teaching and learning of math continues to reignite my passion for education. There are many obstacles to muddle through. 97% of the time, the messiness keeps things interesting!

Watching the collaboration and a-has as participants engaged in thoughtful mathematics in my sessions at #ICTM25 is why I love the work I do. So incredibly grateful for educators who devote time to learning. Your students are just so lucky.

#ICTM25 was a great weekend full of lots of learning and laughs. @ryanflessner.bsky.social and I had a great time as emcees. Special thanks to our 4 awesome keynotes @robertkaplinsky.com, @drindiagrit.bsky.social, @kimrimbey.bsky.social, and @howiehua.bsky.social for indulging us in stage selfies!

Thanks, ICTM, for the chance to welcome attendees, make announcements, and introduce keynotes this weekend. And…thanks for trusting @cfless.bsky.social and me with the microphones! 🤣 #ICTM25

🌟 Excited to be a keynote speaker at ICTM in Indiana! 🎤✨ Join me this afternoon for my sessions on Grit 💪, followed by a book signing 📚✍️. Can't wait to connect with all of you! Let's make this an inspiring experience together! 🙌 #drindiawhite #ictm #nctm #ncsm #indiana

ICTM and Franklin Community Schools have done such an awesome job getting this set up and going today! Looking forward to a great weekend!

@ryanflessner.bsky.social & I were on Learning Through Math with @iteachthewhy.bsky.social and Karina (are you on #edusky?) We talk about 2024’s @mathedleaders.bsky.social conference. Thank you for having us so we could remember what we learned and need to apply! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

Trust me when I say this isn’t just for educators in Indiana. The blogs alone are worth signing up. So many great ideas in them!

Coaches & admin putting in the work today @keepinlearning.bsky.social Working hard w/ educators all over Indiana to consider the breadth and depth of our standards to provide the best possible instruction for students. This work will drastically enhance the teaching & learning in math classrooms!

So many great resources and ideas from the #elemmathchat last night. I’ve enjoyed reading through them. Thank you @johngolden.bsky.social for leading and all who contributed!

I worked with teachers today on the difference between the two types of division problems. The INCREDIBLE thinking, questions, and hard work happening was so inspiring. When we create opportunities for teachers to learn, the trickle down impact to classrooms will be phenomenal!

I see videos off of YouTube being used a lot in classrooms. I have mixed reviews on how I feel about this. That said, what are creators that my #edusky pals have vetted and would recommend for teachers to use if this is a regular practice? #iteachmath

There simply isn’t enough time to read all the things I want to be reading. ESPECIALLY after reading this list!

Please join the conversation when @johngolden.bsky.social leads our #ElemMathChat at 8pm CST on 1/16/25. #ElemMathChat #ITeachMath #MTBoS

Hey #EduSky - this conference is not limited to those who live &/or teach in Indiana! Our Hoosier hospitality welcomes educators from across the globe! Learn more - KeepIndianaLearning.org/KINLCon #KINLCon25

We’re getting ready to launch registration and our call for proposals, and I am just so excited. I love highlighting teachers, schools and their work and providing spaces for educators to be inspired by each other. Be on the lookout to register for a LOW LOW price and submit a proposal to share!

This is a really good read. There’s so much more I want to say about why it’s a good read, but I won’t. Bottom line is teaching isn’t an all or nothing endeavor; teachers have to have the opportunity to learn how to make the best choices for their students!

@jlmilleric.bsky.social there are some nuggets in this week’s #elemmathchat that I think you’d appreciate with some of your work!
