I really do want to post more often but the time really flies and seems to disappear at times. I like reading blogs a lot more than I enjoy writing my own. Several blogs that I read truly do keep me inspired/motivated to become a better teacher. I have to thank Dan at dy/dan for all of his refreshing ideas as welll as Kate at f(t). I am in my 17th year of teaching and I often feel I have lost the creative drive to develop lessons that grab student attention and, more importantly, promote valuable classroom discourse. I have been working diligently with my Enriched Geometry students to engage them in daily math discussions rather than me simply passing along some information that is printed in our textbook. This years group of students have taken to this much better than in the past and I am seeing some progress and real value in what they are accomplishing.
Another student is at my door for some after school help...gotta go!
