Contest Winners
Carmen High School South (Mr. L,10th grade) and East New York Family Academy (Ms. N, 12th grade) are the winners of our Setting Culture in the Classroom contest for September. They will be receiving a classroom set of headphones.
Here is a short description of what they are doing to set up a positive, learning culture in their classrooms:
“I have one-on-one check-ins with students each week to discuss their grades, affirm my belief in their abilities, and celebrate their growth. We also go outside once a week for demonstrating focus during our Roadmaps time.”
“I'm implementing Building Thinking Classrooms techniques in my classes to set up a positive learning culture. These techniques are based on a book by Peter Liljedahl, a math education researcher in Canada. My students work on an activity called Four 4's, which is a math thinking task to foster thinking, perseverance, problem-solving, and team collaboration.”

Conferences
Teachers, are you looking for guidance on Parent Teacher Conferences? This helpful article outlines key topics to discuss with caretakers:
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Recap
In September, our team attended the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the largest gathering of teachers of mathematics during the year. The national event pulls not only across the US but also international educators and collegiate professors as well. With over 6000 attendees, we were able to chat with hundreds of teachers, gain insights into what curricula and intervention support schools are using across the country, and what additional support tools are still needed in schools. We also ran into some of our amazing partners!
