The combination leads to little time for writing. I just spent the day with a group of teachers who are beginning their work with the Common Core mathematics standards. They were exceptionally positive as they looked at their practice and their content. It is bittersweet for me to have the Common Core standards coming into practice just as I am phasing out my work in the area of mathematics education. I just discovered a world of bloggers who share ideas on content and pedagogy. I would have LOVED to have had that world of support when I was in the classroom. I am constantly amazed at the level of professionalism and creativity these teachers exhibit. I'm still reading their blogs and copying out some of their good activities. Who knows - maybe I'll need them in the future if I'm asked to teach a class . . . or maybe I won't and I'll just enjoy the camaraderie of the math ed community and the exploration of mathematical ideas.
