What I'm Doing Today

I've been attending some of the "Reinvention Convention" technology courses that our instructional technology folks are offering.  I highly recommend them if you're looking for a quick and very informative session - they're great!  I created this blog in one of their sessions, and today I'm working on the layout and am adding resources to make the blog more useful.

This afternoon I'm in the office alone (which NEVER happens!), and am also working on creating a Math Framework for us, which includes a structure for mathematics class time.  It's way too quiet in here (even with music playing), and I need some feedback.  I'd love to hear your thoughts about what you consider  critical components of a math block, and how to structure a 50, 60, and/or 90 minute class so that learning is optimized.  Leave a comment below!

Let's Get This Party Started!

Welcome!

I figure if you're reading this, you've probably met me (maybe in some type of professional development) or you happened to stumble upon this blog (perhaps you Googled math blogs, for whatever reason).  If you don't know me, you can read my profile and see that I am employed as a Curriculum, Instruction, and Accountability Specialist in the Johnston County School System.  Unfortunately, it's not always possible for me to share current information with the teachers in my district face-to-face, so this is my attempt to disseminate information and share resources.  The main focus will be on math, but there will be posts about other educational topics from time to time.

I've added some grade-specific pages at the top, so you can click on the page that applies to your grade band for the latest updates from me.
