Some new tactics

So far we are three weeks into the school year and I have barely taught a thing. You may be thinking aren't you paid to teach? No, is my response. I am paid to facilitate learning. I have worked to provide students a platform for learning on their own and the scores are showing it. At this point, I have had some great scores on formative assessments and I attribute it to the fact that I am not teaching. Soon I will be having the student analyze their tests scores and responses to the questions across all my classes.

I feel that through cooperative, independent, and social learning, the student who I teach will be more successful than those in other classes. I am trying to be outside the box. I am looking to incorporate some Singapre-type Math Problems using video. I will keep you posted.
