Lately I have found myself is a funk. And while I put my best foot forward everyday this funk is holding back my ability to let things roll off - meaning - things are annoying me lately. And in education that can take a toll. And I think it has a correlation to my reduced blogging time.
While I have not blogged much in the last year - I still have been doing reflection, just thru other sources - PLCs and twitter mainly - but I think that finding time to blog, time to have the thoughts flow thru my fingers is a necessity for me. For me it prioritizes where my energy goes, what I am thinking about and what should be next.
So in the next few weeks I plan to write about the following things:
1) No homework in HS Math -- I have not assigned any homework in my classrooms this year. I assign projects - but daily practice we are handling differently - mostly bell-to-bell, coupled with retest and requiz as some students take more time.
2) Infinite requizzing - why it works and why you don't have to worry about "what will happen in college."
3) Our school just went to one-to-one (as of last week) in our HS, how should I utilize this in my math room?
4) Engineering in HS, how to get students problem solving.... Not worrying acout curriculum but finding opportunities.
For me, it is simply time that needs to be taken....
