What are people saying?

"Tim is an inspiration, it's all the little things he talks about that he takes for granted, like how to make students feel safe, take risks, try new things, ways to ask questions in different ways like to knock on the desk when they know the answers and raise hands when they don’t, I wish I had a video of him teaching for a day so I can watch and learn all the little tricks and habits he’s developed. This was the most useful math pro-d that I have ever been to." (Anonymous Victoria)

"This was an amazing pro D, I want Tim to do more! And the resources he provided in the google classroom are gold! Now that I'm working on implementation, I love having the links and step-by-step guides. I have so many new ideas that I'm trying next week! I'm starting my class with some riddles, looking to change up the seating, booked the computer lab to try desmos marble run on Friday, and want to figure out a way to try vertical problem-solving in my room!" (SD61teacher)

"This is a delayed thanks but it is just as heartfelt.  That was an awesome Math workshop you gave last week.  I had more take away in your online workshop than attending other bigger f2f Math conferences" ( Surrey Teacher)

"Tim's resources are like gems in a treasure chest. I am more courageous to face a longer period of remote learning using Mathbeacon plus his other brilliant works. (Online participant)"

"Thank you for the pro-d by the way. It was amazing. First math pro-d that I felt really opened my eyes and helped me learn something in years. " (Lesley Conway Colwood)
 

"Thanks for all your hard work and for offering this to us! Thanks especially for allowing us to learn without having us feel "stupid" for not already knowing. I think if anything, that is what I appreciate the most. It takes a special person to be able to teach his/her peers without a bit of judgment showing through for us not already knowing. Your math students are very fortunate to have you for a teacher." (Online Participant)
