I taught in NYS so had to be ready in June to give the Regents Exams so I made a spreadsheet for the entire year day by day, topics, assignments, exams, holidays, etc. This made it much easier really for me to change things, if a snow day came up, I could go into my spreadsheet and make auto matic changes. Yes, I did build in some open time so I wouldn't have to really double up on difficult topics, it made it much easier. Since the Regents scheduled their exams a year ahead, I knew by that time we had to complete the required material without excuses. I am very impressed how organized you are allready, I think it might be the nature of Math teachers.
Thank you so much! I definitely love having myself fully planned out like you did! I’m honestly very scatter brained so I try really hard to be as organized as possible on the front end!
Thank you so much for this content! I am working toward an alternative teaching certificate through ABCTE. I have an interview tomorrow for a math teacher. I love how you have your classroom setup. Thank you for all these great ideas!
I'm just rewatching this today, and I think I'm going to follow your technique of giving the students a timeline for each topic so that they know what's coming up and when there will be tests!
Would you be willing to share and explain how you do the flipped classroom because it's something I've been interested in doing but I don't have a lot of experience seeing how someone implemented in their math class
You’re really making me want to move up to high school 😬 I currently teach 6th grade and have been pondering making the move to high school, but want to get a few more years under my belt first.
A lot of my coworkers who have taught Algebra I with me have made the jump! Most taught 8th grade for a while, so I would suggest moving up to that grade first before switching.
Bless your heart teaching middle school . I’m still traumatized from subbing for that age range . Went from getting cussed out to calling security to break up a fight .
My syllabus isn't on my TPT, just my first day generic materials. I'll add it to the description. It's not super user friendly in powerpoint, but it will give you an idea!
