It has been a busy busy time since my last post! Summer was filled with lots of great PD, brainstorming for a more innovative year, and some continuing education. I spent my summer working on my STEM Education Certification through Texas A & M University. We dove right in with a course on student centered learning environments and project based learning. This really catapulted what I was already doing within my district. I am in my districts cohort for project based learning and flipped classroom, so taking this course helped me prepare for the cohort and my classroom as well. I also went to CAMT (Conference for the Advancement of Mathematics Teaching) this summer with my fellow teachers in San Antonio, TX and really focused on hands-on mathematics. I also attended training for the newest Promethean boards and a great emerging software program called Class Flow . I will post about Class Flow separately as there is so much to talk about!
