This is wonderful! I am an ECE Policy Fellow and on the Teach Plus National Policy Advisory Board and advocating for play-based learning. Are there opportunities for those not working in Chicago Public Schools to participate in Project Connect? This PD would be such an asset for all early childhood educators, including those working in home-based, centers, nfp, private, and public programs. Thanks for the great information! Hoping to hear from you soon!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you Mariana for this informative Mission Moment!

Thank you! I"m ready!

Great video.

All people have equal rights under the constitution(USA). After that “equality” is only…., determined by personal responsibility. You’re welcome.

Inequality is on the rise since narcissism has risen its head. All forms of it.

Masking kids all day is child abuse. You are all unfit to be teachers and feel bad for all the kids that have to go through this nonsense.

So sad to see Andrew gone. He is in a better place now. Fly high Love

Praise belongs to the Creator! I am so excited to share! To be continued...

Andrew I'm so sorry for what has happened to you. You will live on in my memories

What’s 3 + 2

I love the interaction bettew teacher ans students. Simple yet effective loved it. Thank you

The "Calm Spot" video the child is watching...where can I find that? Would love to create a spot like that at my school!

I bilde really tall towers with math cubes I use the tens [][][][][][][][][][] 10 And I bilde the towers Taller than the teacher And sometimes someone knock my tower down and all Blocks fall so the teacher put a kid who knock my Tower down so the teacher put a kid who knock my Tower down is in trouble and I got upset about the kid who knock my Tower down.

Very awesome. Have you ever tried this survey in Brazil?

"problematic"

It's a pity that even these math educators in US don't follow the principal of principal --- counting only item in the PURE same set

"it's great I love it"!

Hello Sarah I’m Ryan remember me I’m in the video

Video Clip

This is wonderful! Dr. Maria Montessori taught a version of mindfulness in her "Silence Game" with 3 to six year olds in the early 1900's . It ' s been a long time in coming to traditional public schools ,especially on a level such as this. This practice helps the body/brain in multiple ways.One bit of research today shows how practicing these techniques has a calming effect ." Mindfulness "changes neurological pathways in the brain . It's exciting to be living in a time where scientific discoveries validate the Ancient Eastern Cultural Practices by using technology to document what takes place in the brain/body.

What a beautifully made video! This is such powerful and inspiring work you are doing.

Excellent job

This was very helpful!

Thanks :)

that is my brother in the video teaching the young boy!!! GO ROSS!!!! Seester loves you!!

Thanks I must apply to my 2 year old

does this have anything to do with Erik Homburger Erikson?

The proper way to drill students is through exercises that have them discover generalizable patterns. Six months of drilling should not be plain memorization and speed building. The process of finding patterns is its own mnemonic. Singapore Mathematics, from what I tell so far, promotes just this sort of growth.

This is what you call proper "investigative" approaches: Giving the environment that allows students to discover all sorts of patterns in numbers - and only then calling for any rote memorization. Have the intellectual foundation down and the rote memorization will follow. The problem with much of "reform math" is that it keeps students arrested in child-like contemplation - rather than letting them grow in the way Singapore mathematics apparently allows.

lol. His English is funny but i dont think all singaporeans speak like that :P If you listen carefully to Singlish speakers, his accent sounds way off. He sounds Thai or Malaysian to be honest

Singapore is great, I teach Singapore maths here in London at one of the best all boys school in the UK, and for the last 5yrs, the boys are becoming very competent, expresive, and get a hold of topics so much easier and faster than those students who have not. Students are at least 2 yrs ahead of their counterparts. We are now seeing the fruits of our labour, with our boys overtaking those a year ahead of them, because they have learnt Singapore maths only since year 3.

@teacher9022 lol. no. there are four main languages; english, malay, chinese(mandarin) and tamil. :D

Who care his English. Are you smart and be able to understand math like him

Good grief...who cares about his English?! The philosophies he shares about math and young learners are so important! It's about time math instructors listen and change their practice. Teaching for meaning and understanding before moving children to rote learning of math facts and rules is critical!

You know what's scarier than bad English? Thinking that bad English is actually not bad English but just good English with a different accent.

@tanjyeyee um, its just a Singlish accent. many singaporeans speak in slang :P its not that his english is bad

great point. these phds led my entire dept. of teacher educators in college and influenced an entire generation of teachers!

@tanjyeyee I massively disagree. He just doesn't speak with a western accent. He speaks grammatically with good vocabulary. i.e 'static', 'independently', 'prevalent'.

He speaks terrible English.

That is the best teacher I've ever seen!
