#109: Transitioning From Elementary to Middle School - A Math Mentoring Moment
Today we speak with Shawn Seeley from the Tahoma School District. Shawn is seeking advice on transitioning from his 4th grade class into teaching middle school math at a new school all while teaching 100% remotely. Whew, that’s a lot of changes to start his school year.
This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we talk with a member of the Math Moment Maker Community who is working through struggles and together we brainstorm possible next steps and strategies to overcome them.
You’ll Learn:
- How to transition from teaching elementary to teaching middle school.
- What do I value in my classroom and can I share that with my students.
- How to start the school year as a new teacher.
- What my lessons should look like when teaching online.
