#OntEd MTH1W: End of Term reflections always give me great insight into what students valued and took away from the course. The benefits of de-streaming, thinking classroom and accommodations for all is very evident in their responses.
some takeaways:

collaboration & community

check your understanding

math confidence

math is fun 🤩

more than one way of solving a problem

note-taking skills

critical thinking, problem solving

develop a sense of trust, inclusion and see the potential in all students
BEFORE MTH1W: I was nervous b/c I had only taught Academic/U-level courses. I was worried about how I would be able to reach all types of learners.
DURING MTH1W: I had to learn to give up control. I am a highly organized person. I like to know what I’m doing and when. I learned to be more flexible, adaptable, patient. I became less reliant on a schedule on more reliant on my intuition about my students and their needs.
AFTER MTH1W: I plan to spiral the course (w/ @grightmd). I plan to learn more coding (PD will be helpful). I want to embrace #ungrading and focus on feedback. I want students to create an ongoing portfolio of their learning. I think all of Gr 9 and 10 should be de-streamed 😀

#OntEd After teaching my first de-streamed course (MTH1W), I’ve learned and discovered things that will impact how I approach all of my future classes and students. This experience made me grow. A major takeaway has been the importance and impact of triangulation, DI and UDL. 1/8
We’ve all heard the buzz words, but actually putting them into practice and seeing how they benefit students has been incredible. IMO, every student deserves the right to have their unique needs met in the classroom. Every student deserves accommodations. 2/8
If a student doesn’t have an IEP, that’s okay. If I notice a student needs accommodation, I give accommodation. When I think about the instructional, environmental, and assessment accommodations on an IEP - every student CAN have these. 3/8
