Powerful Teaching
If you've ever had a student that seems to forget everything or if you wonder why some lessons are never learned, check out chapter one of Powerful Teaching. Join the community of educators who are digging into the myth and science of learning. The concepts and strategies are not specific to math, instead they focus on research-based and classroom proven techniques that don't require additional prep or grading.

Mindset Resources
Khan Academy is offering a free mindset course platform called Learnstorm for teachers to use with students in grades 3-12. You just need to register by November 1st. There are videos and activities on handling mistakes and frustration that could be great for a variety of students along with some instruction on how our brains grow and learn.
Math Out Loud
I updated the math read aloud list from Dr. Sarah Powell with links to available videos on Youtube so you can share a wide variety of topics with your students even if you don't own the book. The tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet have the math concepts including fractions, geometry, patterns, money, and measurement.
