T is for Transformation. Do you have children or grandchildren who just finished their first week of school? Or perhaps you have siblings or neighbors who have attended school recently. No? What about you? Can you remember the typical school day when you were a kid? Do you want your classroom to stand out in the sea of sameness?
Provide an uncommon experience for your students and they will reward you with an uncommon effort and attitude. -Dave Burgess
Do you want to be great? It's not about ego; it's about effectiveness. You should aim for having the most talked about class at Fulbright.
If your students didn't have to be enrolled in math, would you be teaching in an empty room? Is there something about you and the experience of being a part of your class that draw students in like a magnet? Do you have any lessons you could sell tickets for?
Honestly, our students don't actually hate math. They just really hate the way it has been taught to them in the past. They hate the fact that the have struggled to learn math in the past. Our priority should be filling our math class with passion, enthusiasm, and creativity so our students view our lessons as pirate treasure.
The goal is to transform our classes into something irresistible to our students!
