I know because I've done it. It's hard work but so worth it.

In class I hope to see students engaging in productive struggle and happy about it.]]> 2018-07-18 13:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521502 https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521528 2018-07-18 13:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521528 https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521570 Math is a vital component to success in any academic pursuit, whether it be standardized exams, college, or even managing personal finances. It is universally applicable. I see these applications playing a big role in my classroom as I use real world examples and instances to educate scholars.

Gradually over time, scholars can develop the necessary skills and build their confidence to move forward on their own and take ownership of their own learning.]]> 2018-07-18 13:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521572 https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521575 2018-07-18 13:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521575 https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521577 I believe students will be able to understand concepts of math with a creative and inspiring teacher. I definitely agree with Gestalts vision]]> 2018-07-18 13:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521577 https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521578 I believe that math is fun yet challenging. Initially there is an apprehension that causes people to be afraid and think things are unsolvable. I want to demolish that stigma and give scholars different tools and strategies to persevere through the difficulties. ]]> 2018-07-18 13:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521578 https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521587 I believe that every student that walks into a math class already has the potential to be successful in learning mathematics. All they need is encouragement, motivation, and a push! I envision those beliefs coming to life in the classroom with encouragement and motivation along with constructive feedback. ]]> 2018-07-18 13:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521587 https://padlet.com/latoyachitman/bty59q5yxmb6/wish/270521613 I believe scholars should be actively engaged in rigorous and meaningful work.
