Keep Your Eye on the Ball. No, these things are all important, but they don’t rise to the level of the most important. The most important thing is not even a thing. It is the children who eagerly enter my classroom each fall. They come wanting to have a wonderful year in 5. I was that kid in elementary school. In third grade, as I remember it, I spent half the year in the hallway because I would not sit still, I could not print well enough and I talked too much. But then4. August 4, 2014. You took an exp...

Husband, Dad, Teacher, Golfer, Believer and Lover of the outdoors. This will be my last Monday Motivation for this school year. I hope they have been meaningful to you. I know creating them has meant a lot to me. This week I want to share the link to Jon Harper’s blog. It speaks to something that is more important than our instructional strategy, PDSA or formative assessment. It is a great reminder that we teach people every day.

http://debcostello.blogspot.com/p/education.html
What if someone opened a window into a classroom. Education is creating a million cans of peas. There is a proverb that says, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." This weekend,. Was posted in the Washington Post from a school in New York. Read the letter and then come back here, and we'll talk. The results are in. This week we had our students fill out the annual feedback forms, their opportunity to tell their teachers what is going well, what is not, and how we can become better. Long-stand...

What if someone opened a window into a classroom. Thursday, March 13, 2014. 314 reasons for leadership. I am the sponsor of our school's Mu Alpha Theta chapter and each year we elect officers to do the work of spreading the word that math is cool! I want to remind all of my adult friends, teachers and parents, that giving kids a chance to lead, fall down, and pick themselves up is a vital part of the school experience. Of course we adults can do things better, but that's only because we're more exper...

What if someone opened a window into a classroom. This week has been filled with Teacher Appreciation across the country.

My colleague, Jeff Wilson, sent me this awesome performance from Clayton Cameron on the intersection of music and math. A perfect start to your day! I'm sitting in our cafeteria,. Once upon a time, more that twenty years ago, wh...

What if someone opened a window into a classroom. Thursday, January 16, 2014. Quit picking on math. This cartoon has been emailed to me, posted on my Facebook page, and left in my mailbox numerous times. Surely word problems are not the most confusing, difficult thing ever? There must be analogous cartoons for other disciplines with similar titles. How I see particle physics. How I see Shakespearean histories? Maybe there should be one titled. I just don't understand you. How I see l. For example, I love...
