Today, in math we learned...so many things...but what's sticking in my mind is how important it is to know what you need and want for your classroom. Just as important, know how you might use it in the classroom, and why it would make you a better teacher/ help students learn. If you don't ask for the things that will help your career and help students, then how on earth are you going to get them?? You have to ask! And if they say no...No big deal! At least you can reroute and know how to ask again later if needed or if you get the opportunity.
I need to apply this element of preparedness into my life, into my career, into my classroom, because I want to be prepared to help my students and colleagues. Really, it's just a part of being prepared...prepared with ways to grow, learn, and teach. I need to apply this by quite literally having a list of the things I could use and need. So I will be making my list...both in my mind and physically on a handy piece of paper...My need list!
I'm still wondering how to do we create interest in math? Some students find relevance in school or subjects very easily compared to others. How can we help students find interest to do the work and to do it well?
For that matter, how do we encourage a passion for education that will continue throughout their lives so they can use it to create opportunities in life?
Yeah..lots of questions..that's just how I think.
