It's hard to believe we have only been here for two days. We've learned a lot and met a lot of new people.

The format of these workshops, using flipping, discovery learning, and activity oriented sessions has inspired me to do more of that myself. I am thinking seriously about my first unit. There are certain things I always want to accomplish - establishing a learning community, encouraging mutual respect, encouraging students to consider the broader realm of mathematics - not just computation and symbol manipulation, and implementing classroom routines. The resources at Flint Hill from 1:1 laptop opportunities to intelligent use of IT systems to incredible support from learning specialists to an open, friendly community are truly inspiring me to do the best teaching of my life.

I am psyched !!!
