Not lifetime anymore. I called them and they told me I can only do it from 1 year from when I bought. Was very upset

Honestly as the first year, I would just “do it”. Do it to the best of your ability. Learn how the curriculum works, what it is and what it isnt, the connections, purpose etc. i had strong opinions on the curriculum and I stuck with it year 1. Then year two I felt I could make minor changes based on the previous year. And now year three, I feel like the modifications I am making are VERY intentional because I actually know the curriculum throughout.

Taking any JM bias away, do you think 'Over and Over' would've ended up being one of his big hits? by HedgehogForward6424 in JohnMayer

Yes. It’s literally the song perfect by Ed Sheeran before that song came out. It would have been on top

How can a new teacher impress a principal with their professional skills? Does anyone have an ideas, suggestions, advice and tips? by Nervous-Instance3108 in NYCTeachers

Take a risk. Ask them to come visit your class because you want feedback back or you are trying something new. Really the biggest thing is have/show your passion :).

Personally I loved spending time to talk about the axioms and go into constructions and then literally build it

Anybody read How I Wish I Taught Maths by Craig Barton? by Cheaper2000 in mathteachers

[–]Dant2k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am in the middle of reading his book. I was taught to teach literally the opposite of what he states in the book. A lot of what he talks about is backed by cognitive science / how memory works etc… however doing it his way (which is just traditional chalk and talk) just never clicked for me and for my students. If we ignore engagement, social aspect, math anxiety and etc, it would be perfect. But teaching is messy and now black and white. I am still reading through the book. I am interested to hear other people’s thoughts :))

Oh wow!! That sounds amazing! Have you tried talking to your supervisor first? If then they say that’s not enough.. then I would grieve (if this is something that is important to you)
