My Big Idea i-Video for 2015 - 2016 Schoolyear
|
My big idea focus for this school year is "Improving Student Engagement and Motivation in order to build student understanding of mathematics".
I chose this focus because I noticed that many of my high school students were struggling in mathematics and lacked engagement and motivation. When missing foundational skills, it is difficult for students to manipulate formulas or process word problems making math a gatekeeper in high school and college. When students struggle in math, it often times causes them to miss out on job and educational opportunities. I want my students to surpass me, so I am determined to find ways to help them retain their mathematical knowledge and achieve their dreams, whatever they may be. |
