Young people don't hate math. They hate feeling like it's outside their possibilities. How do you build a community of welcomed confusion?

“Student voice” isn’t just talk—it’s power. When we reduce it to listening without action, it’s tokenism. Real voice builds cognitive agency & critical consciousness. It’s about students shaping their world. #PedagogiesOfVoice @CorwinPress @marlobagsik @_CrystalMWatson

Racists can have Black friends and bi-racial grandkids and all of that — it doesn’t make them any less racist. Hope this helps.

H*lk died? Anyway… what’s the temperature where you live? It’s 100 in Cincinnati today.

My son wants an authentic pocket watch for his 14th bday. Where do I get that?

"Belonging looks different in every single class, in every single student, every single year." The cherry on top of this week was @_CrystalMWatson's Power Talk on belonging. 💙 #TNI2025 #LongLiveMath

On my way to @carnegielearn #TNI2025 in Arizona … but these edits gon’ get done! Dr. Watson loading…. Doing it for ME.

Some of my students have already lost more young friends and family members than I have in my lifetime. This big BS bill will make it nearly impossible for them to receive mental health services. Educators and social/mental health workers- thoughts?! What are we prepared to do.

When the vibes are just as beautiful in real time as they have been virtually. When you see HER… you see ME. My beautiful sis @HawksMathamagic at #TNI2025.

What @_CrystalMWatson said ‼️ After a successful week of hard work at #TNI2025, now it's time close it out with some 'heart work.' 💙
