3. Postdoctoral Program - MSRI

what have you learned in this institute?
I am going to implement more trust in my students and really believe that they do want
to understand reasonable explanations. I will, now, more intentionally refer to definitions
and previous knowledge to make students aware and remind myself that understanding
is built like a structure. (Not just gathered up as a basket of fruit.)
5. Are you planning to work with colleagues in your school who have not
attended the institute? What are your specific plans to implement this?
I will be working with colleagues who have no knowledge of the institute. But I will
be sharing a lot of ideas with them during our professional learning team mornings. As
we plan together in teaching our units, I can give some input on topics related to what
I’ve learned at the institute.
6. Do you have to report to an administrator/district/school personnel
employee with a summary of what you did during the institute? If you, whom
will you report to and how?
No. I do not need to report. But I do plan to meet with a colleague who used to work
in the district office in curriculum development. She is a high school teacher but is intent
in helping to rebuild the K to 6 math program in order to impact the secondary program.
