Comprehensive Planning Template for Math
One of my goals this term is to ensure that our team of teachers has a planning template or checklist of thinking supports to help guide their thinking and practice when teaching mathematics. Elements that needed to be addressed were our ability to question students to encourage discussion, scaffold student learning, understand the expectations for each phase of the curriculum, and highlight whether our lessons are balanced. Teachers can get easily frustrated trying to find their planning within their Google Drive. They want to locate everything in one space. Therefore, I've designed a Math Planning Template that supports the needs of the team of teachers I work with. If we can effectively track our progress over the year, and ensure that we're achieving the goals set by not only the Ministry but our students... we're hoping to alleviate the expectations for future teachers to 'catch them up'.
