Where do you fall on the homework effort? Are you a teacher that gives homework or has it gone the way of the do-do bird in your class? 

Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum of homework join Crystal Frommert as she dives into the realities of homework in the classroom. 

Have you ever thought about what culture is and its many impacts inside your classroom? 

Being culturally responsive can feel like "one more thing to do" but it doesn't have to be. Having a culturally responsive approach is less about making wholesale changes and more about seeing how the small things add up to make a big difference. 

 

The eternal question of "what makes a good" seem to always come up when we think about presenting our students with mathematical word problems.

Why do we do projects in our classes:

1. To see what our students know
2. How they display that knowledge
3. To expressive creative thought

The list goes on, but what if we did the project alongside our students what might we REALLY learn from them, and with them. Might we have a better understanding of their learning, and who they are as young adults.  What if we learned things we didn't expect, what if by doing projects at the same time and with our students we created stronger bonds. Join Nick as he explores how doing a recent project with his 9s strengthen bonds and furthered something even more important than marks/grades.
