Get energized with a video and chat about teaching and time

It’s time to talk about time. Classroom time, that is. With the third video in our series designed to start conversations that energize, engage, and empower teachers ahead of the 2019 Annual Conference, we invite you to watch Andrew Stadel’s Ignite talk, “Classroom Clock.” How can teachers structure classroom time to maximize students’ learning opportunities? We invite you to join other Colorado teachers of mathematics on Twitter to answer this and other questions at 5 pm on Monday, June 3; Tuesday, June 4; and Wednesday June 5. This is a slow chat, so look for questions to come from the @cctmath with the #CCTM19 hashtag, reply when you can, and help grow the conversation!
