5 Things Every Secondary Math Teacher Should be doing the First Week and Month of School:
Building a Thinking and Engaged classroom culture for all students
There are simple things secondary math teachers can do at the start of the school year that results in a classroom culture where every student is willing to engage in rich mathematics and discourse. How do you build relationships? How do you model group work? How do you set up classroom routines that lead to engagement? How do you support students in sharing their mathematical thinking out-loud every day? What is math? What are the two questions you should be asking every day in your classroom? What are the 3 questions you should ask yourself as you plan lessons? These questions will be answered with practical ideas for mathematics classrooms.
Participants will:
- Be empowered to build routines resulting in a classroom culture that values engagement, thinking and discourse.
