Exploring best practices in Algebra 2. The kids were a bit unruly today…. I take that unruliness as a challenge to work on a more engaging experience for them. Today I was teaching polynomial expression operations, which is, admittedly, one of the more nuts and bolts type of topics and not terribly exciting math. This blog post is about how to find ways to raise the engagement on some of the dryer topics that we cover. Which is often in my 5th period (after lunch) class. It think for polynomial function ...

Exploring best practices in Algebra 2. My first #ObserveMe went poorly. Well, I was really looking forward to being observed using the #ObserveMe rubric. From Robert Kaplinsky. I’ve really been consciously aware of elements from the rubric and want to make sure that in every class I am allowing time for students to work together, to ask questions, use diagrams and discuss strategies. I want them to do partner work, individual work, and participate in full class discussions. Anyhow, for the observation, I...

The purpose was to provide some knowledge and insight about how to recognize the cause of their anxiety and to manage it before, during, and after a test. I used some prepared notes as we talked and had students write in causes and symptoms of anxiety, then reflect on what they were experiencing. Encourage students to have a sn...

Exploring best practices in Algebra 2. Creating a culture of observation and sharing. I’m really interested in trying to perpetuate a culture of classroom observations with my colleagues at school. I think most of us value the opportunity to observe and be observed, but we are all soooooo busy! What could go wrong? Well, a lot if people aren’t on the same page about observing and reflecting and respecting the vulnerable position of the observed. For help with learning how to be observed and how...I’...
