40-something year old taking a leap of faith to follow her childhood dream of becoming an educator; MAT student at Converse UniversityJoined January 2022
Education is not data or curriculum driven and not even student driven. Education is relationship driven. Teachers thrive w/ positive admin relationships & students thrive w/ positive teacher relationships. Relationships drive education.
I recently cofounded a maths app, to share creative, beautiful maths and encourage students to feel good about struggle, it's called Struggly! You can see it here: struggly.com/?jb=nl202306 We're currently working on a new teacher dashboard, it launches in Aug, here’s a sneak peek!
Y'all might have figured out by now that my new favorite tech tool is #FigJam by @figma
I created a template on the FigJam basics to help you get started (and then share with others too!)
Check it out --> figma.com/community/file…
Instead of the typical #book report create a "Literary Locker" based on a specific book, a genre, or author. Here's one I designed based on my favorite book The Giver.

A1- I think certain parts of the curriculum have to be taught in a certain order, as they build on each other. I’m interested to see how more experienced teachers respond. #scitlap
I was on House floor as decision striking Roe was announced. I realized it happened because I saw Marjorie Taylor Greene and others jump up and high five each other. I overheard what they said. One said he always dreamt of this day. Other said something that hit me hard…THREAD
A2 - after incorporating voting into your every day class, do you ever have issues with students wanting to vote on non-negotiable tasks/items? #ditchbook
A1 - Hi all! Stephanie here from SC. I am a preservice teacher so I don’t have a class yet…but I’m excited to hear how others incorporate student voting! #ditchbook
Happy Wednesday!
Keep your eyes open to NEW possibilities, perspectives, ideas, experiences, & adventures. While traditions are great, the only constant is change. Keep your eyes and heart open.

I like to use my play time to just focus on something other than “regular life.” Lol Hiking clears my mind. Creating things for others makes me happy. When I worked in the business world, I cherished my play time. #conversechat#weplaychat
A3- I make mistakes on the daily so I learned to embrace those years ago… and lots of times mistakes lead to learning something unexpected. Personally I think play makes it easier to embrace mistakes and not fear making them.. #conversechat#weplaychat
A2 I think I have learned many social skills through play, in addition to learning how to do things. The things I learn through play I remember longer. #conversechat#weplaychat
A1- I am definitely an explorer and creator! I love finding new places to explore and I love creating something out of nothing! #conversechat#wePLAYchat
