- I just started a term on the TCTM board. We kicked things off with our January board meeting. TCTM’s goals focus on building interest in math, supporting math teaching, strengthening teacher prep, & connecting with NCTM and CAMT. Excited to learn, connect, & grow. Ask me about getting involved.
- Recently became a National Board Certified Teacher. It feels like both a milestone & a responsibility. The process strengthened my reflection & reminded me that excellent teaching is never static. When teachers continue to grow, students benefit most. #NBCT #TeacherReflection #EduSky #TeamNBCTWeek
- Grateful to kick off my first conference of 2026 with the MEAD community. I co-led virtual sessions with the @progressedpathways.bsky.social team & am still thinking about Cathery Yeh’s keynote. Missed us? Get resources + spring sessions: subscribepage.io/skq6qw www.instagram.com/p/DT9rUcxjtO...

- As the year winds down, wishing you rest, reflection, and a strong start to the new year. Happy holidays and Happy New Year!
- Spent the day in a #PBL workshop with coworkers and teachers new to PBL. Reflecting on projects and planning was a good reminder that learning happens when we take time to pause and reflect together. #mtbos #edusky #teach180 #PBLChat www.instagram.com/p/DSign-_Ej6...
- @progressedpathways.bsky.social was featured on the Amidon Planet Podcast. We talked about our collaboration, the work we’re doing, & STEM beliefs that brought us together. If you’re thinking about #PBL as a mindset, not just a model, this one’s worth a listen. amidonplanet.com/episode136
- “When students move, think, and talk, the learning sticks.” This chain rule scavenger hunt got students moving, discussing, and doing the math. Active learning doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. #edusky #mathmedic #mtbos #PBLchat
- 3 takeaways from a discussion on The Art of the Small Scale + The Art of Coaching: Staying hopeful is active work Language shapes vision, impact, & possibility Coaching & growth aren’t linear Carrying these into the week. #educoach #teacherleadership #edusky www.instagram.com/reel/DSNsjg4...
- Take a listen as @carleemadis.bsky.social , @drsheilaorr.bsky.social and I share about the work we’ve been up to with @progressedpathways.bsky.social ! #edusky #PBLchat #projectbasedlearning #mtbos #STEMed #iteachmath
- We really enjoyed our conversation with @amidonplanet.bsky.social and hope you’ll give it a listen and share! #edusky #teach180 #mtbos #STEMed
- I’m officially a National Board Certified Teacher in Mathematics. Grateful for the Margins to Center cohort at NBRC Stanford, the Knowles Teacher Initiative, and all those who supported me through it. Congrats to all the new #NBCTs & encouragement to everyone still on the journey. You’ve got this.
- #AMTE2025 Virtual Institute Lightning Talks: powerful reminders for #mathed •“We cannot have rigor w/o belonging”-@mathedeva.bsky.social • Dr. Romeis-Markham “Children are built for interaction” •@drsheilaorr.bsky.social Using #PBL to design authentic, relevant learning for future teachers #edusky
- A little late, but grateful every day— for students, colleagues, and community. 🤎 Hope the break brought you rest and connection. #edusky
- Reposted by Sarah DiMariaFeeling grateful this week for: 🧮 Educators who strive for richer, deeper math learning experiences. 🤝 Collaborators who challenge us to keep refining and articulating our work. 💛 Family and friends who remind us this work matters. #MathEducation #STEM #Gratitude #PBL
- A few weeks ago, my students took on trigonometric derivatives. We focused on discourse, agency, and collaboration. They stepped into the role of mathematicians and taught each other. What structures are helping your students take the lead? www.instagram.com/reel/DRYIoHe...
- When students are thinking, everything feels possible. Flow & confidence grow when we release perfection & focus on reflection. Inspired by Peter Liljedahl’s session “Thin Slicing 101: A Deep Dive into the Heart of #BuildingThinkingClassrooms” at #NCTMATL25 #edusky #mtbos
- Every “imperfect sort” reveals how students are thinking. Thin slicing isn’t about getting it perfect; it’s about curiosity, reflection, and adjusting in real time. Inspired by Peter Liljedahl’s session “Thin Slicing 101" at #NCTMATL25. #ThinkingClassrooms #MathEd #Teach180 #EduSky

- Grateful to share at #NCTMATL25 how Student Success Plans can help make belonging visible all year long — so every student feels seen and supported in math. #BelongingInMath #MathEducation #NCTM #edusky #edchat #pblchat
- #NCTMATL25 reminded me that conferences are really about people. The sessions are great, but the best moments happen when you connect with fellow educators, share ideas, and leave inspired. Grateful for every conversation in Atlanta! #EdChat #MathEd #edusky
- Come learn with me on Monday night!! If you missed our #NCTM session catch it here! #PBLchat #iteachmath #mtbos #AIinPBL
- Heading to #NCTM2025! 🌟 Excited to lead 3 sessions this year: 🧩 #71 – PBL: Enhanced by AI, Personalized with Teacher Expertise 💫 #151 – Setting the Stage for Belonging 🤝 #193 – Critically Conscious Math Mentoring Let’s build math spaces where every learner belongs. 💛 #MathEd #PBL #EquityInMath
- Reposted by Sarah DiMariaThis week’s class was asynchronous, which gave my students time to dig into disciplinary practices. The big shift: seeing standards not as checklists, but as doorways into the ways to be a doer of the discipline outside of schools. #TeachingTuesday #DoersOfTheDiscipline #TeacherEducation
- Thinking back on a class that reminded me why I teach math: 💭 Every student can do rigorous math. 💭 Every student belongs at the math table. When students feel capable and included, everything changes. What belief guides your classroom? 👇 #MathForAll #BelongingInMath #MathEd #EduSky #mtbos
- Reposted by Sarah DiMariaOur team is headed to #NCTM25 in Atlanta with FIVE sessions! We’re excited to share, learn, and connect with the math ed community. 📚✨ 📍 Oct 15–18
- Reposted by Sarah DiMariaOur language shapes what we believe is possible. Let’s make sure it reflects the strengths students bring. We’ve put together a reflection tool for shifting from deficit-based to asset-based language in classrooms. 📥 Download it free here: subscribepage.io/DcYU0x #PBL #TeacherTalk #Equity
- Goal setting with teachers shouldn’t be a compliance exercise—it should be an inquiry process I used the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) from the @rightquestioninst.bsky.social to lead teachers in year-long goal setting rooted in reflection #ProfessionalLearning #InstructionalCoaching #eduksy

- When content + practice align, STEM learning becomes powerful. Attending to Content Storylines and Practice Pathways helps students see how ideas and skills connect. What’s your go-to move for designing cohesive #PBL projects? @progressedpathways.bsky.social #edusky #mtbos #PBLchat
- The pause of #PAEMST might save pennies, but it costs recognition, growth, & community for the nation’s best #STEM #teachers This award has celebrated 4,000+ educators since 1983. Full @forbes.com article here: www.forbes.com/sites/taliam... @beyond100k.bsky.social #Edusky #SavePAEMST
- 1st round of weekly student goal setting ✅ Barriers named: time management, bedtime routines, procrastination, & motivation. One student’s strategy for time management → make a schedule. Proud of their vulnerability + awareness—sharing struggles built connections this week. #edusky #iteachmath
- Mid-conversation. Mid-idea. The kind of moments where curiosity meets collaboration — and we dream about what’s possible in #STEM education. #TeacherLife #STEMTeaching #edusky
