Q3: "What are small steps you could take this coming school year to help your students connect their learning to the real world?" #ELP517#whatschoolcouldbe
@amjohnston A1: According Ted Dintersmith, "In fact, almost every important life decision hinges on understanding probability and statistics. Almost none depends on algebra, trigonometry, geometry, or calculus--the backbone of grade 7-12 math. Go figure." #ELP517#whatschooldcouldbe
Dear America,
It won't be on the news (though it is newsworthy), but today, like every day, educators gave their hearts, souls and knowledge to their students.
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.
“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”
