#8: How We Can Redesign Success in Our Classrooms (and why we should). A Math Mentoring Moment with Katrien Vance.
In this episode we talk to Katrien Vance who is a veteran teacher that set a total different approach to give her students a sense of direction and help them stay focused. We outline why she did it, how she did it, and how it all worked out for the students.
You’ll learn:
- How to redefine success in your classroom.
- How to create lessons where students ask more questions.
- How to create a math class where the word problems are the easiest problems to solve.
- Why you should plan lessons that encourage thinking. How to avoid the assumption that students can’t think during your math lesson.
- Benefits of getting the students to talk and opening up space to help them lead.
- How trusting kids with what they know will benefit their overall performance.
