"These are the moments that inspire future scientists, that make abstract concepts concrete, that transform passive learning into active discovery." 💗 Fourth graders in Ann Arbor Public Schools expanded their understanding of what it means to have a “great heart” in character, compassion and courage by learning about the biological heart.   It is so powerful to see the ways in which schools are fanning the sparks lit within Great Minds Arts & Letters curriculum, fueling inquiry, broadening student knowledge, and igniting curiosity.   What a win for our collective future, as these scholars carry with them a deeper understanding of what makes a great heart—both the muscle and the metaphor. https://lnkd.in/eim_qkaJ

Educators, we’d love your insight! Which approach works best for helping students succeed with math homework? Share your experience below and see how others are supporting at home learning.

🎉 The California State Board of Education has officially approved Eureka Math² California! Created for teachers, by teachers, Eureka Math² California helps students build deep conceptual understanding while strengthening procedural skills and math fluency. We’re honored to equip California educators with the resources and support they need to make math success a reality for every student across the Golden State. Together, we’re building confidence and sparking curiosity. Read the full announcement: https://ow.ly/hkOB50XrcJq #CaliforniaEducator #K12California

From inspiring conversations to shared “aha!” moments, thank you, California educators, for making CMC-South exponentially great. 🧡

📈 Geodes + implementation support = significant gains in reading fluency for first-grade students in NYC. Susan Neuman's recent study found that when teachers had access to Geodes, a collection of decodable, knowledge-building texts, and implementation support, students achieved even greater gains in reading fluency and comprehension. Learn more about Geodes’ impact here: https://ow.ly/2BJW50Xo6bu

Observing a Great Minds demo lesson through students’ eyes highlights the joy and curiosity that inquiry brings to learning. 💡🦑

For decades, the field has asked: what works in reading. Dr. Susan Neuman's latest study on Geodes reminds us that’s only half the question. The real one is: under what conditions does it work? Her findings show that high-quality materials matter—but so do the systems, supports, and relationships that bring them to life in classrooms. At Great Minds, we’re taking these insights to heart—strengthening our teacher supports, deepening coherence, and designing for real impact. Because when we design for the classroom, not just from research, we get closer to our vision: every child experiencing joyful, knowledge-rich learning every day. https://lnkd.in/e7zFqbHK

Cortney Kuzma and I are excited to connect with district leaders and share more about Great Minds new Eureka Math Squared Florida edition at the FOIL Florida conference!
