Congratulations! Thank you for respecting teachers and students, for listening well, for closely observing/noticing, and for sharing your insightful thoughts in such a fun, entertaining, and clear way -- it's been very helpful and inspiring to follow along. Agreed: well deserved!
Dan, when I first became aware of you, nearly 122 months ago, it was from a video someone had shown me of a problem with, I think, some water draining out of a hexagonal fish tank or something. I knew right then that no math teacher I had worked with was thinking the same way as you were in that (and other) videos. I'm well past retirement age, and at times in the past 40 years was literally depressed with my job and wanted to do something else. But you and the teachers you have featured over the years have inspired and reinvigorated me. And while I will never be the teacher you are, Dan, your impact on me was instrumental in me seeking and obtaining NBCT status about eight years ago, and more importantly, in helping me to constantly reflect upon myself and our profession. Thanks for everything.
Well deserved! Your work advocating for students, teachers and the profession of teaching is tremendously impactful. So glad you are getting all the shiny, major awards that are well deserved! Bravo!
What an honor and how well-deserved! You bring this award into the modern world - grappling with the realities of today. Back in the early days of your online presence someone from that awardee list said - well he's like a rockstar and I recall responding its high time Math Education had a rock star!
Thank you for speaking truth to power always and for being willing to fight the good fight on everyone's behalf!
Dang what a session title!! Would have loved to see it. Will it be recorded?
Congrats Dan! Well deserved. Not sure if you remember but you spoke at MEAD in Tucson AZ, forget the year. I was still I college and I attended it - I have been inspired by you ever since. Keep up the awesome work!
I started teaching math in 2004. I started following you soon after. Didn’t always agree with your suggestions but I always found your writing and ideas challenging. I’m most proud that I began using Desmos materials and Illustrative Math on my own near its beginning and am glad that you have joined forces with it and have been moving it forward.
Congratulations on this well deserved honor. Your words always click with me and I appreciate that you are willing to put your BOLD thinking out there. What you do for mathematics education is immeasurable!

Congratulations! So deserved! I'm smashing this share on FB to teachers near and far.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing you wonderful remarks since I was not able to attend the conferences this year!
