She gave the eulogy at that guru of theirs, Saul Alinsky, stating he was brilliant and worked for the underdogs. Sheesh
I actually learned very little about teaching in undergrad/graduate school. I recall the “kiddie math” professor pointing out some manipulatives on a shelf and telling us to play with them! No direction whatsoever.
In the early 2000s, I read an article in the local newspaper pertaining to a grant Auburn University had received to assist mathematics teachers. The program was called TEAM-Math or Transforming East Alabama Mathematics. When the funding expired, the program was absorbed into Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative (AMSTI).
At the time, I was employed as an adjunct faculty member at a local community college. I did this part-time so I could earn a little household income AND be home with our children who were 11, 9, and 1. However, I promised myself that when I returned to public schools, I was going to be a part of that program.
Lo and behold! in 2005, I began my dream job teaching 7th-grade math at a junior high school. There was an actual math department with four 7th-grade teachers and four 8th-grade teachers. Around October, the math chairman resigned from teaching. The principal asked me if I would take on that responsibility. I actually told him I would with one stipulation: our school would become a TEAM-Math school.
In order to be accepted ALL eight teachers were required to commit to two summers of two week training and meetings once each quarter on a Saturday morning. WE DID IT!!
I have been so blessed by this approach to teaching math because it is based on understanding the why of solving problems. And there are multiple entry points to problem solving. Some of my students initially need the concrete, relying on the hands-on use of manipulatives; others can draw pictorial representations; a few actually grasp the abstract and can use simple equations.
Every year, except one, since 2008, I have had a university intern with me for a semester. I know they have learned from me, but what I have learned from them is immeasurable. And when there is a training session during the summer, just like this summer, I attend enthusiastically.
Very well stated C Gato. God bless you and your family.
That is the most wonderful success story. Never tiring of hearing people succeed. Good for you, and good for your school!
What I mostly remember about my time in the program was that I was terrified of exams (couldn’t take the math PhD exam after taking all the classes years later) and got them to give me a thesis instead. Added two years to graduating. Took the reduction languages of John Backus, who invented FORTRAN, and developed a curriculum to teach it. Variable free. Had the interesting property that you COULD teach it up to 6th grade. After that, you needed a masters degree to understand. As a graduation/birthday present, dear husband gave me a compiler for the language.
Yesterday I made a reference to The Emperor has No Clothes. 2 mid 20 year old nurses had never heard the story. Sad.
That stops me cold. I really don’t understand how much common culture we’ve lost.
It is indeed sad reality to know there are families who do not read to each other...
When one can read, one can vicariously go anywhere, do anything!!
My favorite college class was in grad school where I researched language development from within the womb through pre-k. Even in the womb a baby is learning the sounds of language. (Reminds me of a family funny regarding Cheetos and gasoline... Another time perhaps. ;) )
Former UCLA player Billy Knight committed suicide today while under investigation for child sex abuse...
No way! Holy cr**
Dang it, Im outside by the pool and misread this - at quick glance I thought it said Bobby Knight - whew
I agree that those orientations should not be normalized. Unfortunately, many folks under 40 with whom I am acquainted have a different perspective.
There was a fresh-out-of-college student hired to teach Social Studies a few years back. When he found out there were/still are, out-of-the-closet lesbians in homosexual relationships, he resigned the day before school was to start. I silently (I’m sorry) applauded his resolve.
I excuse myself when political conversations are brought up in my work environment - unless education is involved.
9 year old girl
Released with electronic monitoring device; told to stay away from girl but still visited the home. He was due for a hearing soon.
I read at DM that he had been depressed and had been making bad decisions....is that what we call molesting a nine year old girl now, a bad decision?
Cool beans!! I am def no mathematics whiz, but I love teaching up through 7th-grade standards and a few 8th-grade standards. Mostly, my focus is integers, ratios and proportions, linear equations, basic geometry, and probability. And, I am a stickler for basic graphing/interpreting graphed data. Although I’m also supposed to teach statistics, I usually run out of time. However, I scaffold to make sure students have assignments involving measures of central tendency, range, and outliers of a data set. (Two pet peeves: the “big number” does not always go inside the long-division house; the understood 1 coefficient is NOT imaginary!!)
ThanQ for the non-Q communication. Still awaiting the next post...
They’re whitewashing it, as if embarrassed to report what he did. They’re looking for sympathy for him by not mentioning what he did.
Check out my statistics explanation on identifying the author of Night Before Christmas thru analysis of movements of the tongue in the mouth. It’s a fun study for kids to follow because you can do a lot of exaggerated movements to show phoneme pairs. Mac is an emeritus prof mostly known for his Shakespeare work.

Q! Q! Please come!
Hes (RR) too busy collecting ALL the docs on Kavanaugh, and asking for hundreds of prosecutors to help. (Unprecedented action!)
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3670169/posts
Pro-Trump informed speculation:
Kavanaugh knows more and has more than has ever been revealed about the Vince Foster event. (Very interesting rabbit hole here...)
Our President has put him forth to get the truth out.
RR is helping.
When/if he gets rejected, DJT appoints Trey or Ann, or whomever he really wants.
Your theory may be viable as a construct of the elite, powers-that-be who dictate what/how/when teachers must teach in the classroom.
However, I am still blessed to work in a public school system that acknowledges me as a professional and allows me to teach. Yes, I am held accountable for teaching the state standards, but my classroom is mine.
I tell my students and parents that there are numerous ways to solve problems. I am elated when parents actually sit down with their children and assist them with assignments. Can’t tell you how many times a problem has been solved in a way I never thought about - I am always learning, too!
BTW ~ I have read many studies that suggest homework has minimal impact upon learning, which is why I assign only 5 homework problems each week. Those problems relate to previously taught skills, and students may turn in their work for me to check, make comments for corrections, and help them to understand when they ask questions. The final work must be turned in each Friday. The majority of my students do not bother... School board policy is that homework can account for no more than 10% of a grade.
Mueller asks court for 100 more blank subpoenas ahead of Manafort trial
Special counsel Robert Mueller is asking a federal court in Virginia for 100 blank subpoenas in the case against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
The request was made in a filing on Wednesday. The subpoenas would require their recipients to testify in the U.S. District Court in Alexandria on July 25, when Manafort's trial in Virginia is set to begin.
No further information was provided in the filing, and a spokesman for the special counsel did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.
The request comes roughly a month after Mueller filed a request for 150 blank subpoenas.
I get the impression that this Virginia "Manafort" trial is not really about "Manafort" at all.
