@bkdidact @themathforum Hey there! I'm trying to do both #SwDMathChat and #ElemMathChat and eat dinner at same time (+ drink delish beer).

@leslie_su76 Welcome Leslie! #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@jennifuhs4 Hi Jen! #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q1: What does a family/school partnership look like at your school/organization/math forum? #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Sep 22 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@bkdidact q1: they are invited in and asked to give feedback / participate in school events.. sadly not around much math tho #SwDMathChat

MFAnnie Sep 22 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1: Hard to answer for me. We've helped out at math nights, and done math games w/parents during P-T conferences. #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@MFAnnie You can use those as examples! You may actually have the best perspective seeing many examples, but good & less good! #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Q2 coming up shortly! #SwDMathChat

MFAnnie Sep 22 @ 9:24 PM EDT

How about at your school @bkdidact? (Haven't finished that article, but lots to think about there.) #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Sep 22 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@bkdidact A1: we try to do CarrollMath days and talks that show what we are doing and newsletters home to spark conversation #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A1: My school has PT confs as well as family support groups. And families are always invited to our social events! #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@jennifuhs4 What are carrollmath days? #SwDMathChat

MNmMath Sep 22 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@MFAnnie @bkdidact @themathforum Me too - except I have Roscatto! #ElemMathChat #SwDMathChat

aboone_angie Sep 22 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Sorry I'm late, middle school volleyball game went late! #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@MFAnnie Related to the article, which I was going to mention later, but can now. We work with families during the IEP process #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Sep 22 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@bkdidact where we talk about our math approach/beliefs @ Carroll. We mesh curriculums as no size fits all for our kids #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Sep 22 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@bkdidact I speak about the benefits of contextualized learning of procedures through 3 act and the like tasks #SwDMathChat

MNmMath Sep 22 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A1 In our district each school has a corporate sponsor - some champion us @ SD some help w/ $ Some bring man. labor #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Glad to have you! @aboone_angie @MNmMath Here’s Q1 #SwDMathChat https://t.co/1Y8Qu31Wfb

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q1: What does a family/school partnership look like at your school/organization/math forum? #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@jennifuhs4 This sounds great. Trying to rethink my Back to School Night presentation right now! #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Q2: Why is it important as special & math educators to involve families in the learning process? #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Sep 22 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@bkdidact I redid all of mine and scrapped my usual curriculum talk and talked about how their kids see visual patterns #SwDMathChat

aboone_angie Sep 22 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A1: we are such a small community many of the community events revolve around school activities #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Sep 22 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@bkdidact also showed Ss' responses to WYR question around 800 pennies vs... and talked about logic vs correct answers #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@aboone_angie thats interesting! How does that impact the special education process for families? #SwDMathChat

MNmMath Sep 22 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A2 It takes a Village & if 1/2 of the Village is on vacation you can't make all of the connections possible Help w/ mindset #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Sep 22 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@bkdidact A2: parents feel just as lost in the process as the students do and need to understand how their kids see math #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@jennifuhs4 that’s kind of what I’m leaning towards! Highlighting mathematical proficiency (more than memorization!) #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Sep 22 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@bkdidact I like to highlight learning math in context and how struggling math learners remember those contexts better #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@crstn85 How do you involve families? #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Sep 22 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@bkdidact pretty sure you took my thoughts for my NCTM talk out of my brain here :) #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Q3 is on the way! #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@jennifuhs4 wish I could be there! San Antonio? #SwDMathChat

PaulaKrieg Sep 22 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@bkdidact i've just jumped on ! Hi. #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Sep 22 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@bkdidact yes sir! I hope to live stream or record it!!! We also hope to make it to innov8 2017! #SwDMathChat will be at PBIDA in oct

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Q3: Besides PT conferences. How does your school involve families in the learning process, be specific, so others can benefit! #SwDMathChat

crstn85 Sep 22 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@bkdidact definite weakness. Was excited to see 3 families of the 12 in my contained class show up at meet the teacher tonight. #SwDMathChat

MNmMath Sep 22 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A3 We have back to S night, regular PT conf. All schools have a Parent group that is part of our leadership teams #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@crstn85 you gave me an idea for the next question! Thanks! #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Sep 22 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@bkdidact q3: I encourage my faculty to email often and share new units. We are looking into online student led portfolios #SwDMathChat

MFAnnie Sep 22 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A3: Have Family Math Night. Families learn math games, get decks of cards, learn to #NoticeWonder. #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A3: We use e-portfolios, class websites and blogs, family support groups, inviting families to be members of our school CSA! #SwDMathChat

aboone_angie Sep 22 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A3: this year we had almost 100% attendance at our open house, this included my Ss! #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@MFAnnie I need to get better at this! Can you share any resources? #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Sep 22 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@MFAnnie great idea! I think @CarrollSchool needs this @1pmorris #SwDMathChat

KhatriMath Sep 22 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Hola! Joining in late. #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Q4 is around the corner! #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@KhatriMath Happy you’re here, Sahar! #SwDMathChat

MFAnnie Sep 22 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@jennifuhs4 @CarrollSchool @1pmorris Amazed how many Ss didn't know card deck, no cards at home. So give 'em some. #SwDMathChat #dollarstore

MFAnnie Sep 22 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@jennifuhs4 @CarrollSchool @1pmorris Was fun to see Ss explain rules to their parents. #SwDMathChat

KhatriMath Sep 22 @ 9:42 PM EDT

We've been trying to implement "academic parent teacher teams" in place of traditional PT conferences. https://t.co/LCUfaRk90x #SwDMathChat

PaulaKrieg Sep 22 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A3 at my kids school,it was like they didn't expect Ps to be involved. I envy the math nights that @mathinyourfeet writes about #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:42 PM EDT

Q4: How can inclusion teachers show families how their student’s needs are being met during Back to School Nights? #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 Sep 22 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@MFAnnie @CarrollSchool @1pmorris I love that. We have parent visiting days and I do visual patterns and parents are amAzed! #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@aboone_angie yes, our school blogs are private only for the school community. #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@KhatriMath Have to read more about this later! Thanks! #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@PaulaKrieg @mathinyourfeet How does that make you, as a parent, feel? #SwDMathChat

MFAnnie Sep 22 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A4: Show activities like #NoticeWonder and other idea-related practices everyone can contribute to. Low ceiling, high floor. #SwDMathChat

KhatriMath Sep 22 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@bkdidact we had a few of our tchrs go to a training, going to be prepping soon-if I have more resources I can share I will. #SwDMathChat

MNmMath Sep 22 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A4 - Clearly display their tool box area & let the parents play My Tools are ALL of the supports that every Ss is afforded #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:47 PM EDT

Q5: How can parents who self-identify as student or disability advocates be leveraged by schools? #SwDMathChat

PaulaKrieg Sep 22 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@bkdidact @mathinyourfeet When the school didn't expect (or want?) parents to be involved, it felt like us-against-them #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@PaulaKrieg @mathinyourfeet This leads right into Q5! https://t.co/vlvOoUFI4C #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:47 PM EDT

Q5: How can parents who self-identify as student or disability advocates be leveraged by schools? #SwDMathChat

aboone_angie Sep 22 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A5: these are the parents who can help those new to the Sped system navigate it #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:50 PM EDT

LOVE the parent advocacy depicted in the new ABC show @Speechless_ABC https://t.co/qVrepXKQ2V #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:51 PM EDT

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Q6: Share any https://t.co/LkEaWEGXN3 partnership resources that you find really helpful in your work with families! #SwDMathChat

aboone_angie Sep 22 @ 9:53 PM EDT

bkdidact - Moderator Sep 22 @ 9:54 PM EDT
