Overview

This blog is to communicate information about our Math Curriculum to archive DCPS initiatives, Phelps High School Math Department initiatives, course materials, to publish the courses curricula, syllabi, lessons, homework assignments, scoring guides, and power point presentations. This blog contains varied Mathematical information for students, teachers, and parents to increase proficiency in Math. This is another way for me to collaborate with other Math teachers.

For Professional Developers and Teachers: Values and Clarity Build Classroom Language

In the article by V a l e r i e V o n F r a n k, I agree with the qoutation by Robert Quinn(in Sparks, 2001), " What we teach kids is not just subjects, but how to live." I believe that being an intelligent teacher does not necessarilly mean being an effective teacher. A teacher could have all the credentials but if he does not know how to manage his class, learning will be hard to achieve.
In the email-publication of NSDC , we can read Values and Clarity Build Classroom Language plus a lot of interesting ideas for us to grab for our students' achievement.
