It is important for me to start each school year with a blank slate for all children and not imposed my assumptions before I know them as a student. I also want to try to find some time at the end of each day or week to reflect on areas where I may show bias or where I can create more equity.

We are surrounded by brilliance everyday. Our students have so much to offer so I will always be thinking about how our collective actions can stifle that brilliance and how we need to actively work to unearth what has been buried by a flawed educational system.

Being "good" at math has so much to do with how we experience math. We really need to push ourselves as educators to think about the systemic issues that lead to some students having a more positive math experience than others. Also, we need to recognized that math phobia is everywhere and that providing low level cognitive demand tasks don't boost student confidence. How do we provide a more meaningful math experience to all students?How do we look at the experience of different groups and find ways to change the experience so more student have access to joy in math class?

I offer student choice (almost) every single day for classwork. So while the more rigorous options are technically available to all...not everyone will choose those options since I allow them to make their own choice

We recognized that there are a lot of opportunities for students to access high level tasks, but they will not always rise the the opportunity. They take the path of least resistance, or maybe avoid the challenge. Heck in this COVID trauma times, I might not take on challenges either. Are we considering that our kids are exhausted from trauma?

Some students have internalized the ideas that they are not math people. How do we help these students develop the confidence they need to take risks.

I think some of my tasks are causing students to be right answer driven which is taking away from the cognitive demand of the task. I need to be more careful with how quickly I let students know about the relative correctness of their work.
