Summer! (2016 version)

7/9/2016

0 Comments

 
The end of the year was tough and full but ended quite well. In the end, the vast majority of my students passed my class so I didn't need to worry about too many conflicts with my administration over grades. As it turns out, they learned!

So now I'm knee-deep in summer mode which, unfortunately, many people seem to think means I am doing nothing for school. Of course, I'm not spending hours every day focused on school and work but I am not completely idle. On a daily basis I am trying to prep for teaching Geometry next year for the first time in five years. I am going through the curriculum we use (College Prep Math) and realizing how wonderful it is and how much better it will be for me than when I taught Geometry back in Philadelphia without any supporting curriculum except for old books that relied on t-chart proofs. So I am spending about an hour each day (except Saturdays) working out what my students will be doing come September. 

And I am also relaxing. Why? Because teachers need it. And, because honestly, we are paid only for 10 months worth of work!

My honeymoon begins in 8 days and I'm excited to experience a world trip with my wife of a little more than a year. And I'm going to be posting a lot on my travel blog (www.gateb3.com) so check it out! I'll try to keep up with some education news and post here as well.

    I am a math teacher in the New York Department of Education. I infuse technology and real-world problems into my curriculum in order to prepare my students for the future. I would love for people across the country to recognize we teachers can't do it alone. If you don't believe me, come visit my classroom!
