I just received confirmation that my article will be published in LDA. The article focuses on my Elapsed Time and Money manipulatives and an amazing teacher (FYI: It is not me!) Check back for the link on my website to see the article, assuming you are not an LDA member.
I just received confirmation from the 2020 OCTM Conference Committee that my proposal was accepted for their virtual conference. My session will be on October 3rd at 10:30. See you then!
I had my proposal to demonstrate my math strategies at the 2020 Leading Through Digital Innovation Conference on July 16th at Region 4 Education Service Center in Houston, TX accepted! Due to COVID-19, this conference will be held virtually, and it will be my third demonstration at Region 4 ESC in last 3-4 years.
I am looking forward to the opportunity to help many students in Texas during the 2020-21 school year! See you virtually on July 16th!
Due to the COViD-19, we had to have four three- hour virtual math workshops rather than traditional face-to-face workshops at the Alabama regional in-service centers this month. I was really impressed with their interest and giving up some of their summer vacation time to learn new math strategies. One teacher even participated in the workshop at the beach…. talking about dedication! I also enjoyed meeting virtually with the staff at MonTECH in Missoula, MT.
Based on the feedback that I received, I anticipate helping many students during the 2020-21 school year!
Due to COVID-19, the 2020 Effective Teacher Institute in June has been cancelled. I contacted Kelli Olive, Conference Coordinator, and she informed me that she will reach out to me to do a workshop once things get back to normal.

It has been awhile since I have been in Ohio. I am looking forward to it!
I hope everyone is safe, and things will be getting back to normal soon!
