Each chapter comes with a callout to help you plan your own PBL project as you go. Watch for: Nuts & Bolts, Tool Bench, Blueprint for Success, and Polishing Your Tools. Plan alongside us, chapter by chapter. #EduSky
We're excited to be speaking at the #NCTMDEN26 Annual Meeting, Oct 28–31 in Denver! I'll be sharing "Practice Makes Progress: Designing Pathways for Equitable Math Learning" with educators nationwide. Join us for 4 days of learning: nctm.org/denver2026 #MathEd #EduSky
A little surreal to see someone else tell the story of your work. Grateful to The Educator’s Room for this feature on my work in math education, PBL, STEM, and belonging. Opening Doors and Building Belonging. That’s the work. theeducatorsroom.com/opening-door...

I recently joined @theeducatorsroom Innovative Educators Podcast for a conversation about teaching, learning, and the questions that keep many of us thinking long after the school day ends. 🔗 www.youtube.com/live/3NmoE5O...
With support from a 2025 MI-AMTE minigrant, @progressedpathways.bsky.social created a free 3-part video series + resources for thinking about #PBL in mathematics. Practice pathways. PBL planning + AI. Elements of PBL. Explore the series: www.miamte.org/professional... #EduSky #PBLchat
Who's this book for? ✔ Classroom teachers ✔ Instructional coaches ✔ PLCs If you're looking for practical ways to design more meaningful, rigorous PBL, we wrote it with you in mind. 📖 Preorder: link in bio #PBL #MathEd #TeacherLeadership
Spent last week with the Knowles Teacher Initiative community in Atlanta Grateful for a community that continues to challenge & inspire me If you’re an early-career HS math or science teacher, check out the Knowles Teaching Fellows Program #MathEd #SciEd #edusky www.instagram.com/reel/DbdwUQP...

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the annual conference for the Knowles Teacher Initiative in Atlanta.Every year, this conference feels a little like coming home. It’s a chance to reconnect with a community of educators who continue to challenge, encourage, and inspire me. There are very few spaces where I leave feeling this energized.This community has had a profound impact on my growth as an educator. The opportunities I’ve had through @knowlesteachers have shaped not only how I teach, but how I think about leadership, professional learning, and contributing to our profession.This year I had the chance to facilitate a session with fellow Senior Fellows on professional learning, present a poster session, lead a conference session, and spend time planning the work we’ll take on together this year. I left energized, challenged, and excited for what’s ahead.To everyone who makes this community what it is, thank you.And one more exciting thing… next year’s conference is in Austin! If you’re already part of the Knowles community, I hope I’ll see you there.If you’re an early-career high school math or science teacher, I hope you’ll consider applying to become a Knowles Teaching Fellow. It truly has been one of the most transformative experiences of my career.#KnowlesTeachingInitiative #MathEducation #ScienceEducation #ProfessionalLearning #TeacherCommunity

Excited to share that I’ve been elected as the Secondary School Representative on the Board of the Council of Presidential Awardees in Mathematics Looking forward to serving this community, learning alongside outstanding mathematics educators, and contributing to the work ahead. #edusky #iteachmath
Had the chance to join the TeacherGuard podcast to talk about teaching, innovation, healthy risks, and leading through uncertainty. One takeaway: sustainable change depends as much on when we introduce ideas as what those ideas are. 🎧 Worth a listen: open.spotify.com/episode/4dx7...  #Edusky
🌟 Organizations That Inspire Us This month we're celebrating the MI-AMTE. Carlee & Sheila are proud to serve on the board, and all three of us have benefited from MI-AMTE's support through grant funding and a strong community. #MathEd #MIAMTE #TeacherCommunity
Incredibly proud to get to share this project @carleemadis.bsky.social , @drsheilaorr.bsky.social and I have been working on:
ProgressED Pathways@progressedpathways.bsky.social · 2mo ago📚 We wrote a book! Reinvigorating STEM with Project-Based Learning: A Toolbox for Secondary Educators Routledge | Eye On Edu | Oct 13 It's the culmination of yrs of teaching, collaboration, & a belief that #STEM learning should be rigorous, meaningful, & rooted in belonging #MathEd #PBL #edysky
Spent the week at Indiana University for the Hearing Each Other’s Voices (HEOV) Summer Writing Intensive with Digital Promise. This work brings researchers & classroom practitioners together around a shared problem of practice. Grateful for this community and excited for what’s next. #edusky
I’m presenting with the PDFC Team at the Knowles Teacher Initiative Annual Conference in Atlanta this month. Hope to see you there! #Edusky #edchat #professionallearning
Thankful for those who dream big for us! #edusky #pblchat
ProgressED Pathways@progressedpathways.bsky.social · 2mo agoSometimes it takes someone else believing in you before you believe in yourself. We're grateful for the people who encouraged us to think bigger. Now we hope to do the same for the educators we work alongside. More of this story soon. 💛 #EduSky #TeacherLeadership #PBL
Another great #CAMT26 in the books! I had the opportunity to learn from @drarieltaylor & @robertkaplinsky.com reconnect with so many wonderful people & attend my first in-person @texasctm board meeting If you’re a Texas math educator, join #TCTM!
A little end-of-year reflection, a little summer dreaming, and a lot of writing behind the scenes ☀️ We’ve been working on something and can’t wait to share more soon. Stay tuned!
Pretty excited about what is coming from my collaboration with @carleemadis.bsky.social and @msdimaria.bsky.social

Just wrapped up a staff book club on The Anxious Generation. We explored unstructured play, designed activities for students, and worked with our Upstream Education coach to connect those ideas to SEL implementation. #Education #SEL #ProfessionalLearning

In March, I joined a Knowles Teachers senior fellow panel on teacher voice in policy. Shared my experience with @teachplus.bsky.social & learned from others doing this work. Teachers need to be part of policy decisions. #TeacherVoice #EdPolicy www.instagram.com/p/DXCVCqPDl4...
