As we continue through this journey of distant learning, I wanted to bring you some content specific to our current struggle. Instead of asking one person, I asked many of my friends to share their insight and wisdom using one question: what tips or strategies would you suggest during this unprecedented time? I hope their responses provide value and strength during your distant learning experience. https://twitter.com/share?text=+-+&via=Joshua__Stamper&related=Joshua__Stamper&url=https://joshstamper.com/?p=2372 (Tweet This)Featuring Denis Sheeran, Lavonna Roth and Rachelle Dene PothFollow Denis Sheeran:Twitter: https://twitter.com/MathDenisNJ (https://twitter.com/MathDenisNJ) Website: https://denissheeran.com/ (https://denissheeran.com/) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mathdenisnj (https://www.instagram.com/mathdenisnj) Follow Lavonna Roth:Website: http://www.igniteyourshine.com (www.igniteyourSHINE.com) Twitter: https://twitter.com/LaVonnaRoth (https://twitter.com/LaVonnaRoth) Follow Rachelle Dene Roth:Twitter: https://twitter.com/Rdene915 (https://twitter.com/Rdene915) Website: https://sites.google.com/view/rachelledenepoth/about-me?authuser=0 (https://sites.google.com/view/rachelledenepoth/about-me?authuser=0) Blog: https://www.gettingsmart.com/author/rachelle/ (https://www.gettingsmart.com/author/rachelle/) This post contains affiliate links.

EduHacker Mark Barnes admits that math has always eluded him, until he stumbled upon the Unanswerable Questions hack in Hacking Mathematics, by Denis Sheeran. Mark shares Sheeran's reasoning behind Unanswerable Questions and the power they hold over not just math students, but all teachers and learners.Read the excerpt at http://hacklearning.org/UQBrowse the library at http://hacklearningbooks.com
I remember trudging to Math class in high school...AND I MEAN TRUDGING. I had zero confidence, zero interest, and I could not fathom any relevance in what I was being asked to do. If you're a Math teacher, these adolescent frustrations may sound familiar. Guess what...I get the "Why do we have to learn this stuff?" question in history class too. Think about it. It's a fair question. Maybe, educators need to get better at answering it. Today's episode will help you. Denis Sheeran is the Director of Student Achievement at Weehawken Township School District, which is in New Jersey. He's going to help all of us answer that important student question!

Featured ContentMike Andriulli joins us as our first-ever guest on the podcast! In this episode, we're talking all about ASCD Empower 2017, as well as conference attendance benefits. Mike shares his experience at the west coast conference, highlighting a session with education power-house, Baruti Kafele, one of the most sought-after educational speakers in the country. Other conference highlights include using math performance tasks, which Mike plans to turnkey to his district in the near future, as well as personal conversations had during downtimes. Mike's biggest regret/criticism was his inability to attend all the sessions he wanted to attend; the offerings were so robust that he could have easily attended more than one offering per session — we should all have that problem!Mike goes on to discuss his role in bringing new strategies to the teachers of his district and passionately shares his views that it is NOT ok for teachers to say, “I'm just not a math person.” We hope you enjoy our conversation with Mike as much as we did.Mike Andriulli is the Supervisor of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, at Hillsdale Public Schools (NJ). A former elementary and Math teacher, Mike has degrees from both Rowan University and Ramapo College.

He is also taking the time to learn more about the use of learning menus, asynchronous and personalized learning, which will hopefully create a stronger student-centered classroom experience.Chris continues to learn a lot about 20% Time and has implemented it for the last marking period with his High School Social Studies students. He has limited prior experience when it comes to this topic but is not afraid to try and put this opportunity in front of the students.Stacey has recently learned how not to deliver PD at a recent conference/PD Day.
