When learning math, a student needs to play with the math, explore the math, connect it with their own lived experiences and world and use it in practical and authentic ways that are meaningful to them (not the teachers). Otherwise, it doesn't stick. #mathequity#edutwitter
Whenever I hear of educators "empowering" their students I wonder what they mean by "empower" and how it is that they do so.
Here are 5 ways to authentically empower students.
A 🧵...
For some time I’ve been researching this: what are the conditions in which learning thrives?

Huge re “learning loss.” 👇🏆
“If we each answered what it means for students to be ready for various math concepts, our responses would likely be very different, as would each student’s prior understandings and experiences.” achievethecore.org/aligned/the-fa…
An effective system of interventions is built upon the assumption that even the most at-risk students are capable of learning at high levels, and that the educators can collectively achieve this outcome for every student. #atplc
Students struggling in math class don’t need traditional remediation. They need rich mathematical experiences related to their lives in order to make sense of what they are learning.
“More of the same but slower/simpler” merely keeps those students behind.
Today's PSA: "Learning Loss" is a made-up construct and only serves to deflate students, educators, and caregivers. It invalidates their hard work and resiliency, ignores all the learning that happened, and adds unnecessary stress. #remotelearning#education
Please help me with learning “loss.” What’s lost if it wasn’t there in the first place? And if the loss is rote skills that Alexa and a calculator efficiently answer, who cares? And if it is essential conceptual understanding, who says it was developed well in the first place?
