"Reflective teachers observe, analyze, and improve their practice to better facilitate student's development of mathematical ideas and proficiency." #dsumath@kevinsmithsd
"When students regularly share their mathematical ideas and representations with peers and make sense of the ideas and representations of others, they make more mathematical connections and deepen their thinking."#dsumath@kevinsmithsd
The conversations between the students and the teacher on page 165 of our Success book had me thinking and reflecting on asking students questions. There are certain questions and statements that should be asked to deepen the students' thinking.

My big idea from ch. 9 is how prepared teachers have to be when teaching a lesson. These two teachers anticipated different strategies, tools, difficulties the children may have, questions to ask, and how to focus the class discussion on the goals.

My purple cow class is from my high school history teacher. He got so excited and emotional talking about some subjects that he actually kicked a hole in his wood desk and covered it up with a poster. He also stuck many holes in the ceiling.

My greatest takeaway from part one was asking questions to amp up your lesson. Saying "How can I..." can make a huge impact. Also, working on being creative!

Invite veteran teachers and new teachers to build positive relationships in the community. The veteran teachers could give the newer teachers tips on leadership in the classroom and how to enhance it.

Gather documentation and examples why there needs to be change. Find other individuals with the same ideas and bring them forward in a meeting or to the principle.
