As a principal, I’m supposed to be an “instructional leader.” But I told our teachers this week, that I don’t know how to do that in the middle of a pandemic.
Right now is not the best time to talk about programs, plans, data points, and “best practices.” It is time to support.
I am a guest in the homes of my students. They shouldn’t have to do certain things to make me comfortable. In fact, some of them can’t even meet simple requests like “Please find a quiet place to work.” After today’s home visits, I am re-evaluating every request I have.
Started class today with a non-math q: is a burrito a sandwich? Then one S informed me of the “cube rule of food” and it became a mathematical question followed by a proof. Mind blown. #iteachmath
The start school looks very different. We’re spread over 3 schools/2 states. We didn’t take this pic in 217 but at our houses, in our home classrooms. But, what is the same are these 6 amazing teachers who are determined to build relationships/deliver great math lessons virtually
My son, Dominic, and I made puffy chalk! So much fun :) However, it is official. I really, really miss my students and doing math. Made a math sidewalk to cheer me up! Hope it makes you smile too 😉@BCPSMATH@Hall_Pride
