**Hello! I am looking forward to working with you on February 14th. Please read the attached pages of Standards of Mathematical Practice ahead of our workshop and think about the following questions : ** In what ways do you see critical thinking skills in math related to educational objectives in other content areas ? How would displays on classroom and corridor walls educate all your constituencies—students, parents, teachers-- about the value you place on mathematics thinking? What kind of talk do you think valuable in the classroom to encourage flexible mathematical thinking?

Thank you! Jeanne Vissa

I am sending along some short readings in preparation for the Motivation session that I’ll be doing next week. There are two small pieces and one slightly longer piece. The first paper is one that I wrote a few years ago and was published in a principals’ magazine entitled //Keeping Motivation Alive – The Challenge of Leadership//. It provides a nice summary of the key elements of motivation, which I will discuss in some detail with you next week and which are the key issues to be managed if you are going to manage this process. The second is a piece of a Marshall Memo, published before you were subscribers, about the book //Drive: The Surprising Truth about What Motivates Us//. It is a nice short summary and as you know, we did provide you with the book which is a companion to this session. If you’ve had time to read the book, that’s wonderful. If you haven’t, it can be a very nice follow-up to the session next week. The third article is entitled //Understanding Motivation and Supporting Teacher Renewal//. This Northwest Regional Educational Lab Publication is exceptional and represents most of the research that Daniel Pink drew on in writing his book. It is written for teachers and administrators to use with each other, and as such is a wonderful support document and will prepare you very well for the session that we have coming. I hope you enjoy them all and I am looking forward to seeing you next week. Hopefully I will be allowed to drive in a few weeks and will be back in the buildings visiting all of your schools.

My warmest and best regards to you all,

John
