3. Postdoctoral Program - MSRI

4. What are you going to implement/change in your classroom because of
what have you learned in this institute?
* more precise definitions
* more number line applications
* more time on the basic isometries, and dilation
* more explicitly/rigorous demand on students justifying their statements with established
math “facts” (theorems)
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?
Jake and I will get together and present to our dept. I will also work with the other
7th grade teacher (to be hired)
In planning the year I’ll sit down with:
* textbook
* pacing guide
* district-Q, sem. Q, final assessments
and see how best to integrate the material
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?
∅
7. Additional Comments (use back if necessary):
* Much appreciation to Wu, Sunil, Stepjanee and Winnie for all their hard work.
* Again more interaction between/among students (us) (I think) would result in
greater learning.
* I know it was explicitly stated that “implementation” was NOT the purpose of the
institute, but I think providing some time for us to reflect/discuss how we will bring this
to the classroom will help us learn more here.
