Teaching Methods
Here are some questions that I tend to ask myself when I think about teaching or plan lectures:
- Do I expect my students to enjoy new math like they would enjoy art?
- Are my students comfortable sharing their perspective and feedback with me?
- How do I encourage my students to work together and learn to communicate math?
- How do I help my students be comfortable feeling stuck on problems?
- Does this strategy help increase the attention span of my students?
- What can I learn from my students? Am I open to it?
I’m always open to discuss different pedagogical strategies. Feel free to reach out to me.
