Watch Jodi Asbell-Clarke’s TedXYouth Talk
On November 4, Jodi Asbell-Clarke was a speaker in TedXBeaconSt, We Know More Then We Can Tell To unleash the potential of all learners, we need to start looking at what people can do, not just what they can say. Many of the cognitive differences of neurodiverse students (learners with Autism, ADD, Dyslexia and other cognitive functions that make school difficult) may also empower them with creativity, resilience, and innovative approaches to problem-solving. Our education system struggles to measure and support these different ways of thinking, » Read more![Jodi Asbell-Clarke at TEDXYOUTH @ BEACONSTREET](https://www.terc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/5.png)

Jodi Asbell-Clarke at TEDXYOUTH @ BEACONSTREET
On November 4, Jodi Asbell-Clarke was a speaker in TedXBeaconSt. Her talk, We Know More Then We Can Tell, addressed the issue of students who don’t test well, and her research into finding students’ implicit knowledge —knowledge which they demonstrate through their behaviors and actions, not just how they answer questions on a test. Jodi and her team looks at the enhanced creativity and collaborative problem solving that is unique to some learners with ADD and the systematic thinking of some learners with autism, » Read more![TERC Welcomes Two New Board Members](https://www.terc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/0.jpg)

Seeking out Math in Making Experiences
By Andee Rubin, Scott Pattison, and Tracey Wright— 2017. Dimensions, Vol 18, No. 6. Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, Washington, DC. Negative attitudes about mathematics and the poor performance of U.S. adults and students on measures of mathematical reasoning are well-documented problems that limit many people’s identities and career aspirations. At the same time, the last decade has seen a proliferation of out-of-school environments that foster making and tinkering activities. Enthusiastic participants in these activities are often engaging in mathematical reasoning without realizing it—and thus do not consider themselves competent mathematical thinkers. » Read more![Math in the Making website officially launched](https://www.terc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/mitm_purp.png)
