Taking a Risk in Planning the Number Sense Unit

Posted on August 15, 2022 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Taking a Risk in Planning the Number Sense Unit

Framework for Learning

Posted on August 15, 2022 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Framework for Learning

I found this assignment challenging, as my thinking about curriculum and planning has always been fluid and further evolved while reading in this module. Representing the ideas visually was tricky, as a learner with ADHD I often describe my thinking as in webs rather than in lines or patterns, I jump from one connection to…

Balancing Numeracy

Posted on November 20, 2021 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Balancing Numeracy

In my classroom I tend to lean towards problem solving and giving students opportunities for discovery. I have been working on using the strategies championed by Peter Liljedahl in Building Thinking Classrooms in mathematics. For many of our students a balance between direct teaching and discovery is required. Time to work on rich tasks in…

Leadership Self Evaluation Rubric

Posted on November 20, 2021 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Leadership Self Evaluation Rubric

Our group chose to make a single point rubric that focuses on the skills of a teacher leader. We chose the single point rubric because they are clear for students and teachers to understand.

Assumptions About Leadership

Posted on November 20, 2021 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Assumptions About Leadership

Teachers lead, formally or informally, wherever they are. “Whether in their classrooms with students or on special assignment outside of them, teachers lead wherever they are. For teachers, leadership is more about influence than power and authority. They assume responsibility, not only because they are selected or volunteer to do so, but also because they…
