Spent the day with K–5 teachers at South Boston Elem in Halifax. Their energy, reflection, and commitment to strengthening their practice were evident. Their students are fortunate to have teachers who care about meaningful learning.

Who had the best day with Haydon ES teachers in Manassas, VA? This girl right here 🙋🏻♀️! We talked about what holds us back from small-group instruction and analyzed the effectiveness of learning stations! This great work was made even better because of these reflective teachers!

Spending today reflecting on the incredible work happening in classrooms. I feel fortunate that my role allows me to partner with educators and support students in taking ownership of their learning. Here are a few photos from this week to celebrate.
#ChangeTheStory #MathWorkshop
Here’s the group photo (minus our virtual folks!) of the awesome Alleghany Highlands math educators digging into Math Workshop for their book study. Their students are lucky to have them, and I’m grateful to be part of their journey.

Skip Tyler joined the Alleghany Highlands #MathWorkshop book study to hear firsthand how middle and high school teachers are implementing these structures.
Grateful for this incredible group of administrators who welcome us into their buildings for recurring support.
#ChangeTheStory
Math Workshop isn’t one fixed formula.
There are a few solid ways to structure it, and the best one is the one your students can actually settle into. Start with what feels doable, keep the routines clear, and build from there. Consistency > perfection linktr.ee/jennifer.lempp

Teachers in Randolph, NJ have completely embraced small-group instruction in mathematics! Watching students solve problems from start to finish and listening to their reasoning helps us know our students better. #iTeachMath #MathWorkshop #SmallGroups

Analyzing student work samples to create small groups in math doesn't need to take long. Make a group, create a goal, and get to it! You'll learn more about the students and readjust groups accordingly. #MathWorkshop #SmallGroupInstruction #iTeachMath
What should we consider in terms of our classroom arrangement, routines & procedures, and the mathematics community to have efficient and effective learning stations, focus lessons, and small-group instruction? Identifying these in advance is helpful for success and for support. #MathWorkshop
A day spent with this Manassas City crew is a good day. The train-the-trainer modules take a thoughtful and strategic look at taking baby steps toward a #MathWorkshop approach that will be manageable and sustainable!

Watching these kids collaborate with one another and listening to the respectful way they discussed math strategies gave me all the goosebumps. 😍 thanks, St. Patrick Catholic School for inviting me into your classrooms. #iTeachMath #MathWorkshop #Feedback #TeacherLearning

My awesome multiplication and division cohort at St. Patrick's Catholic School in Norfolk. We dove into so many great strategies and had the best conversations! #iTeachMath #TeacherLearning #MathWorkshop
Gratitude isn’t about forcing joy, it’s about noticing what holds you steady.
And when gratitude feels far away, what’s one anchor you return to? A breath, a warm mug, a quiet moment… the small things matter.
What are you thankful for this week? #MathWorkshop
TGIF! Being an extraordinary educator includes taking radical responsibility. Let’s take a second from scrolling to reflect on this week. What worked for you? What didn’t? How can we adjust moving forward? Free feel to let us know more in the comments! #mathworkshop

During Labsites
Looking at stations and analyzing for quality
Labsites in Randolph, NJ. We focused on quality learning stations. Want to schedule Labsites for the most thoughtful, job-embedded professional learning for your school or district? Email me to schedule them now! #MathWorkshop #TeacherLearning #iTeachMath
Pretty doesn’t always mean purposeful! Of course there are some great tools out, but don’t be fooled by cute font or a fun theme. When choosing math stations, ask: Are students thinking, using their math brains, and comprehending the material, or are they just coloring? #MathWorkshop
It’s like the domino effect! One small tweak goes a long way, and can shift your entire classroom (for the best!). What’s one small tweak you want to make this week? #MathWorkshop

Had the best 2 days in Randolph, NJ. Learning Station Labsites with a K-2 cohort and a 3-5 cohort. The joy, the play, and the thoughtful questions as we analyzed stations for quality! Intentionality was the name of the game! More pics to come later from these amazing day! #MathWorkshop #iTeachMath
You know what I love about the Train the Trainer model? Everyone wins.
Leaders grow. Teachers grow. Students grow! And this is what professional learning looks like - contagious, empowering, and built to last.
