How I Help All My Students to Be Good at Math - The Atlantic - 1 views

      Students need to know that everyone can do math. There are not "math people" or "non-math people."
  • I tell all students alike that math requires perseverance and a willingness to take risks and make mistakes
  • Math requires effort, patience and time
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • You have to believe that eventually, you will be able to understand. You have to sort through what you understand and what you don’t. You have to then formulate a good question and be courageous enough to ask the teacher to answer the question in front of a classroom, admitting that you don’t understand something in front of your peers
  •  those who think of themselves “math people” can suffer from overconfidence
  • Our educational goal should be to help all students learn as much and as deeply as they possibly can, and to instill in them a love of learning.
  • people perform poorly on difficult cognitive tasks when there are extrinsic rewards for the successful accomplishment of those tasks. 
  • Standardized testing disregards the effort students have exerted and they deemphasize the processes of math
  • Focusing on the process of math helps both low achieving and high achieving students learn true mathematical logic and not get discouraged because they can’t reach a right answer, or bored because reaching the right answer is too easy. Many students know how to get the right answers on standardized tests but don’t know how to think about math.
  •  Our job as role models is to give our students the freedom to make their own choices, including lucrative choices in fields that require math.  In my education courses, we were always told that modeling is more powerful than teaching.  Adults are modeling this self-defeatist attitude.
  • Education needs to be about personal growth and teaching students to enjoy and revel in their knowledge, not on grooming students and sorting them for a job market that may be entirely different in 10 years. If students learn confidence, flexibility and that they’re good at learning, they’ll be ready for anything.

    Oh my goodness. This is exactly the encouragement we need. Each shared comment could be for our class. I particularly like your idea...."Education needs to be about personal growth and teaching students to enjoy and revel in their knowledge, not on grooming students and sorting them for a job market that may be entirely different in 10 years. If students learn confidence, flexibility and that they're good at learning, they'll be ready for anything." My father use to say, "Now we are cooking with gas!"

     The author is my grandson ,Shane's, advocate. Without her he would be up the creek without a paddle.  Will My Child Grow Out of It written by Dr. Bonny Forrest is an important book for parents, educators and practitioners. The succinct, accurate description of learning differences and mental health issues is based on extensive research as well as personal case study experience. The topics discussed and suggestions given are realistic yet always positive. The expanded appendix provides resources for action, effective therapies for consideration and medications commonly in use. Most importantly there is a direct link to ProjectSkip, http://www.projectskip.com/. A special code is given for use of this tool, a first step in the decision of whether to seek professional help. While this book is an excellent resource for parents, it could also be an important textbook for educators as well as those studying in the field of psychology

    I teach the same students for many years in a row and grow to know them well. I wish I had read this a few weeks ago to share with my graduating seniors.

    Why wait? I hear myself giving the advice, "pick your battles," almost everyday. I rephrase number 27 to , "how's that working for you now?" And number 21, is the advice I give myself.

    I wish I had these earlier today when I had to say goodbye to a student heading back to public high school! I actually agree that we shouldn't wait - I am thinking of putting some of them up on a bulletin board for inspiration! Thanks for sharing, Carole!

      Gosh, this is truly overwhelming with so many ideas. Just reading through this makes my head swim. The challenge of the day is to find just one idea that might hold promise. I bet like potato chips you can't eat just one.

      Here is the most important part....I could not disagree me. 
  • The potential damage stemming from heightened cell phone use during class casts a pall on the entire educational system, on the school atmosphere, on the educational achievements of the class, on the pupil’s own learning experience and on the teacher’s burnout having to cope with discipline problems in class.’”
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • I could not disagree more with the above quotation. Although there is no doubt the very same scenarios mentioned in the above article are occurring in various classrooms around the globe, I now encourage all students to bring their cellphones or smartphones to class. Just a few years prior, my colleagues and I were struggling mightily with how to integrate the crafty handheld tools.
  • I believe the potential of smartphones, supported by a strong classroom management system, can be summed up with what I call “The Five C’s.” Collaborate, communicate, create and coordinate/curate. Of the forty-four ideas below regarding smartphones, twelve can be accomplished with a simple cellphone. Take a look below at this enormous potential.
  • Establish a Twitter class account to share class assignments and reminders. If students do not want a Twitter account, make it easy. Embed the Twitter feed on your teacher page.
  • Send students reminders in-class/after-class through ClassParrot and Remind 101.
  • Have a silent discussion via Todaysmeet.com.
  • Write on-the-go during a field trip or active lesson on campus with Tripline.
  • Create a mini-presentation, skit, or formal response to a prompt and e-mail the video to teacher’s Posterous blog spot.
  • Use the stopwatch and timer apps to manage class time.

    Our students love, love ABCYa. There are lots of games in addition to typing practice. They claim they've even found a game on there that is similar to Minecraft. Dance Mat Typing makes them laugh because the narrator has a British accent ('Allo there, all you rock and rolla's!"

      NOVA scienceNOW: 1918 Flu - this activity is a variation of the HIV activity I'm doing in my envi. sci lab.  But this activity works better in a non-lab setting.  I thought it might work good in the health units for the PE courses my PLN classmates are teaching.

    classroom activities about viruses, included sticker activity to track infection. would work good in a health class.

Using Pre-Needs Assessment for Effective PD | Edutopia - 2 views

shared by Carole Redline on 26 Jan 15 - No Cached
  • Before fine-tuning content for a particular session, I start out with a Google Form and a list of suggested topics (e.g. Google for Research, Nearpod, Kahoot, Student Projects with iPad, Workflow with eBackpack) that I perceive to be campus or department needs. Based on this initial feedback, I begin crafting pre-needs assessments for particular courses. Even within a workshop focused on a specific tool or technology, you will find both novice and advanced users, so that's where the pre-needs assessments really pack a punch.

      In my last workshop some said they already knew it all. I should have been prepared with other assignments for them.

    If you're looking for a safe and easy way to send and receive money, then CashApp is the perfect solution. But what if you want to add an extra layer of security to your account? Well, that's where buying verified Cash App accounts comes in. When you buy verified CashApp accounts, you're essentially getting an account that has been reviewed and approved by CashApp themselves. This means that there's no risk of your account being suspended or cancelled due to fraudulent activity. Plus, when you buy a verified Cash App account, you'll also get access to exclusive features and benefits that are not available to unverified accounts.
