TMC15! It Just Keeps Getting Better

Some nuggets from TMC15: Exit ticket with student name + a grade = a quiz, not an exit ticket Give feedback before a final grade. Once student see the grade, written feedback is invisible.

Some nuggets from TMC15:
  • Exit ticket with student name + a grade = a quiz, not an exit ticket
  • Give feedback before a final grade. Once student see the grade, written feedback is invisible.
  • Arithmetic & math differ like spelling & writing. (Thanks Avery)
  • Debating brings attention to the mathematical process
  • Focus on the structure (roles, routines, etc) takes away the pressure of doing the math
  • Vertical non-permanent surfaces (peterlilijedahl.com)
  • What if you put the teacher desk in center of room...why do I even need a desk?
  • Work on non-permanent, summarize by putting one good exemplar in notebook
  • Teaching is not brain surgery, it's harder. The anatomy of most brains is the same. The anatomy of most classrooms can vary greatly.
  • We must share ALL our lessons
  • Care about your students as much as Fawn
  • We as teachers are all trying, to the best of our ability, to have students reach the best of their ability.
Still wondering:
  • Does cold-calling have value or should I avoid it?
