Big Ideas

Student interaction in the math classroom is absolutely essential to student learning, problem solving, and conceptual understanding of math ideas
The student and teacher have their own roles in creating an effective math community
Students should be engaged and motivated to sustain positive attitudes in the math classroom
Computer Coding is a skill that students needs to develop in order to understand, and be apart of the digital world.
Coding has multiple entry points, and students should work at their own pace with teacher intervention to promote the use of computational skills

My main goal for this independent learning project is to create a resource that the staff at my school can reference for ideas, and also add to as they see fit in order to promote more professional collaboration, and co-learning with math ideas like coding, positive thinking, and student interaction in the math classroom. My project will include:

Interactive and collaborative activities for meeting students’ instructional needs

Promote current, equitable, and inclusive practices

Reflect the school community

Features current research on professional learning

“I strongly believe that leadership is an art, not a science. I've learned that leadership can be innate or it can be
learned. However, I don't believe anyone was truly born to be a great leader. Great leaders are formed over a
long period of time through a series of opportunities and experiences. Without opportunities, even the greatest
natural leader among us may never become known for great leadership.”
