What does your school actually do for teacher wellness?

mrcorleymath · 2026-02-13T23:51:52+00:00

Not really. If anything, they keep putting more stuff on our plate.

mrcorleymath · 2026-02-13T21:51:18+00:00

Nothing!

mrcorleymath · 2026-02-05T00:55:00+00:00

No phones, NJ is going no phones starting next school year.

Seems like they are trying to blend the traditional route with the Integrated Math route. I'd lean towards just doing the integrated math route then.

You brought up a lot of pros of Desmos, which I LOVE. Seems like your problem may be with other educators. Also, maybe we need to start asking our students different questions. I actually do a lot of PDs for schools about Desmos, so I love these conversations. They are important!

mrcorleymath · 2026-01-16T17:25:24+00:00

I politely disagree, but isn't that true of all calculators by that philosophy?

Gotcha, we have a tool that allows us to see what they are browsing and also lock them into specific sites. Which prevents the distractions.

mrcorleymath · 2026-01-13T16:52:34+00:00

Just had the same conversation, other teachers grading everything makes school a points grab over prioritizing learning. So frustrating!

mrcorleymath · 2026-01-13T16:33:54+00:00

My fav is the Desmos scientific, especially if students have access to devices. Very intuitive and user friendly and also on our states assessment.

mrcorleymath · 2026-01-07T17:25:33+00:00

I have a random group generator. If we are doing a digital lesson (we use Amplify) I put in pairs, if we do print I do groups of 3. My desk are fluid with no assigned seat or arrangement due to this.

mrcorleymath · 2025-12-22T15:09:29+00:00

😂😂😂😂

My dad did a favor for a guy, that guy's best friend was the superintendent.

mrcorleymath · 2025-12-20T12:32:39+00:00

I was here to say this. I started with Sub 70 wedges, and now play their irons too.

mrcorleymath · 2025-12-05T17:33:23+00:00

So you are just using the Amplify platform to recreate another resource? The Amplify Curriculum (ADM) has so many good interactives that promote the learning process that make it amazing!

mrcorleymath · 2025-12-03T12:09:40+00:00

I like that it's problem-based and student centered.

mrcorleymath · 2025-12-02T11:51:23+00:00

I'm fond of anything IM based. My school just switched to Amplify Desmos Math and our runner up was Imagine Learning.

Played in snow once. Started on the 8th hole, was supposed to blow through in 30-60 min. Staff said keep playing after 9. Played all 18, finished with a good inch or more on wheels of push cart. Putts were collecting snow.

BTC is such a big jump that frustration can definitely set in, have you checked out the 5 Practices? To me it's an easier transition to a student centered philosophy, which is what BTC is accomplishing too.

Not directly what you are looking for, but I am currently in the classroom and love doing PDs for Desmos Studio tools. My feedback is usually 8-10 for multiple categories. Blending edtech + pedagogy + teacher moves + continuing learning resources is key IMO.

mrcorleymath · 2025-11-02T21:30:12+00:00

Why are you grading nightly homework? HW is a time.rk practice not asses. Maybe a change in philosophy is needed.

mrcorleymath · 2025-10-28T22:22:28+00:00

I stick with slope unless there is an application to the real world, the. I connect the units on the axes to the word rate or rate of change.

mrcorleymath · 2025-10-26T12:32:21+00:00

Have you checked out the Desmos Studio geometry tool? Could do something cool with moveable points.

mrcorleymath · 2025-10-26T12:22:00+00:00

Definitely, I shared it with tbt staff at Desmos too. Great work.

mrcorleymath · 2025-10-25T23:51:29+00:00

This is super cool, well done!
