To be agents of positive change in the urban education system &community we serve, we will grow as leaders, mentors, & educators #urbaneddu

... we have begun to focus so much on the tracking process and not enough on how to accommodate student needs... #urbaned #urbaneddu

I became a teacher because of some excellent high school teachers who inspired me #urbaned #urbaneddu

I learn best when I'm intrigued by the lesson/topic #urbaned #urbaneddu

"... Clear and consistent disadvantages from tracking" - Oakes (2/2) #urbaned #urbaneddu

"Students who are not in top tracks--a group that includes about 60% of senior high school students--suffer..." (1/2) #urbaned #urbaneddu

Smaller schools seem to b safer/friendlier environments. Should we create a movement to change school size? @summeysarah #urbaned #urbaneddu

Lots of challenges going on in urban education. Lack of teachers and resources will make it tough. This needs to change #urbaned #urbaneddu

Today was my last full day of teaching at EGR. Sad but ready for the big world! #math432

[Dan Ferris @DanFerrisGV]

Squeezing in quizzes before spring break isn't fun as a teacher as well. #M432

[Dan Ferris @DanFerrisGV]

Tried a new style of Jeopardy game in algebra 2. Students were engaged but very rowdy. Need to change a few things #M432

[Dan Ferris @DanFerrisGV]

Students enjoyed the Pi themed competitions today. Now it's time to get them that excited for area/volume. #M432

[Dan Ferris @DanFerrisGV]

Any ideas for Pi Day tomorrow? #m432

[Dan Ferris @DanFerrisGV]

Gave the geometry students a practice quiz today. It seemed to help clear questions up. #m432

[Dan Ferris @DanFerrisGV]

Today we did a hybrid flipped class in algebra two. Interested to find out how the impact it will have on the students. #M432

[Dan Ferris @DanFerrisGV]

Due to testing today's schedule is mixed around. Curious to see how my normal 2nd hour is at the end of the day instead #M432

[Dan Ferris @DanFerrisGV]

Everyone makes mistakes. I like to say, everyone has learning opportunities. #m432

[Dan Ferris @DanFerrisGV]

Today I had a mock interview with the principal, was observed in Geometry, & found out at the last second my CT is sick. Teacher life #M432

[Dan Ferris @DanFerrisGV]

A few students came up to me asking to do something fun today. Any ideas of a fun game using algebra 2 trigonometry? #M432

[Dan Ferris @DanFerrisGV]

Tried a jeopardy game in geometry today. Some seemed to love it, while others didn't care. #M432
