NCTM Annual Meeting & Equity
I didn't have the opportunity to attend the NCTM Annual Meeting in San Diego, but I am super excited about the work being done around equity. You can view the five speakers featured at #ShadowCon2019 on this Facebook video. Here's the fun part! Everyone can participate in the follow-up through a virtual learning opportunity by registering through this Google form. I am joining the conversation with Dionne Aminata Samb because her approach to equity really touched my heart and made me think about taking action and what I should be doing beyond thinking differently. It's my newest "one small thing".

Podcasts for Math Teachers
Living in Romeo and working across Oakland County, I spend hours in the car listening to free podcasts. Making Math Moments that matter is one of the newest podcasts I have subscribed to. I use the free Google Podcast app now that I have an Android phone, but I loved the Overcast app on my iPhone.
Math Specific Podcasts:
- Global Math Department (free, on-demand webinars & podcasts)
- Math Ed Podcast (deep research based conversations)
- Method to the Mathness (Marilyn Burns)
- Build Math Minds (Christina Tondevold)
More podcasts to consider...
- Cult of Pedagogy (Jennifer Gonzalez)
- 10 Minute Teacher (Cool Cat Teacher)
- Truth for Teachers (40 hour week, Angela Watson)
- ChooseFI (Financial Independence, this one is personal, but I love the FI ideas and after all, money is math!)
Remaining dates for 18/19 & potential dates for 19-20
Registration is now OPEN for all 2018-19 courses. Dates for 2019/20 are still tentative.
We can also schedule a 60-90 minute personalized session with a group of teachers from your building or district on a variety of topics: Word Problems & Fluency Interventions, Math Language Routines- elementary or secondary, Teaching Math through Writing, Teachers & NWEA, and Math Recovery implementation.
