New Year. New approach to learning from our mistakes.
Some teachers have stopped giving grades altogether to try to refocus class on learning instead of on grades... [Teachers need to] continually remind them that in seventh grade it's more important that they learn the math than that they get a certain grade.... http://ow.ly/VIEQ30n6ciV

New Year. New healthy expectations of our children.
Closing the expectation gap between what adults believe today's youth is capable of, and allowing them to create their own solutions to today (and tomorrow's) biggest challenges will impact society greatly in the next 5-10 years... http://ow.ly/glXY30n7IbL

New Year. New goal to brush up on our math skills so that we may keep pace with our Waldorf students!
Jamie York’s Art of Teaching Math™ Workshops go online through March 2019 and we’re kicking off this season with a free video from our 8th Grade Online Workshop on Conic Sections... a topic that Waldorf schools introduce earlier than in the world of mainstream math education. And we do it through working with the imagination! Let’s remember, math should exercise and develop our imagination. http://ow.ly/xxLz30n6eCu
