If you found yourself in survival mode this year, I see you. Be kind to yourself. Accept what this year was. Take time to reflect. Release. Recover. Recharge and get well. Then revisit and reinvest. Then come the fall, you and I will once again leave the comfort zone. We’ll stretch ourselves. We’ll take risks. We’ll embrace the unfamiliar, and we’ll do it all for our students, because that is who we are and that is what we do. I’ll see you in September.

I do not enjoy learning how to assemble IKEA furniture. Or fix cars. Or cook. Or complete home renovations. These are tasks that I will do to the extent that I have to, but they don’t interest or inspire me. And although I want to remain curious about all of the world around me … perhaps they never will. What I’ve just described resembles the experience of school for many students. Some areas of learning motivate and inspire. Other kinds of learning feel like obligations at best, drudgery at their worst. Something to survive. Welcome to SPARKS: mini-segments intended to spark your thinking and ignite your practice.

One of the things I’ve found about teaching Math is that it helps to have a regular, real-time sense of student learning. For ALL of my students. As we take on new skills (or scaffold off older ones), what is their current proficiency level? Do they really understand a concept, or are they just keeping their head down and bluffing, hoping to evade detection? Who are we leaving behind?
