Sucess in Math

Based on a true story of mine:

When I was in college I asked my math professor who taught previously at Duke University before teaching at the small Georgia College I attended, "What is the difference between a the students at Duke and the students here at this college?" 

If you would, take a moment before reading ahead to think to your self what the difference is a small Georgia college and Duke University would be.  ... Okay, now back to the story.

As I waited for his reply to my question, my mind started racing with possible answers such as the students had higher SAT scores, better study habits, are good at school, had really smart parents, and so on.  But these are not even close to his answers because it was simple.  First he said the student read the math section before coming to class (just read the section, they did not solve the problems).  And second he said that they students would re-write their notes after class.  

How difficult would this really be to do?  To spend 10 minutes to read a math section and then about 10-15 minutes at home to re-write (re-organize neatly) the notes from class?

Wow!!  You can make better grades and be more successful by using these two approaches.

Math Professional Learning Community (PLC)

A math Professional Learning Community (PLC) is made-up of course team members that are teaching the same subject of math.  For example, course teams members who are all teaching Algebra I or all teaching Pre-Calculus.  In small schools, the course team may consist of one PLC team/group of teacher teaching the math level of math such as college prep class or gifted classes. Either way the course teams are designed the purpose of the PLC team does not change. My experience of being team leads of several different math course teams and also being just a member of course teams has taught me the following: 1. Set a pacing calendar that all team members have input on the design. This may take several days or a week to fully design because of the varying input from all team members. I suggest to Not move forward until EVERYONE is on-board and agrees to the structure of the content pacing. 2. Set group norms.  What are the expectations at the meetings and between meetings?  3.  Assign duties/

Climate of Risk: Allowing for Failure

Imagine a picture of someone that has failed at something.  Did the person you just imagine give up, stops trying, or walks away not to ever return to the activity or job?  Probably not!   The person works to improve his or her weakness and focuses on his strengths to keep pursuing the dream or goal set forth.   Because i f we don’t fail, then we cannot succeed.      Teachers should produce lessons that will challenge students to be successful through the process of problem solving and learning.  T eachers should teach students that failure will happen along the way, but don’t give up.   Students will be able find a possible solution or answer.   Yes, teachers we can teach our student in this way. To teach students through failure is to remove the obstacle that there is only one way to solve a problem.   Allowing for failure will promote students to derive their own path to solution and answers.   Giving students ownership to their own learning.   It empowers the student to wan
