So my math 20-1 class is writing their final exam today, so I thought it would be a good time to start my blog. I wanted to start a blog so I could document my reflections on my math classes as I make my way through the tumultuous life of a first year teacher.
I'm the type of person who couldn't motivate herself to write in a diary regularly, so I hope that my attempts at keeping myself up to date with this blog are more successful. I can see the value in keeping a blog, my hope is that it helps me grow and improve as a teacher/human being.
I suppose I should start off with a few goals.
1. To reflect deeply on my own teaching practices. Ask myself the difficult questions in order to make meaningful, well though out decisions about what happens in my classroom.
2. Connect with other people and learn from their experiences.
3. Share my experiences/resources with others.
4. Provide a record of my teaching practices so I can look back on this and laugh at myself.
5. Be a better teacher/human being.
Too lofty? Probably.
