What professional development have you done since you began teaching? I'm looking to go to a math conference this year. I missed AMTE at the beginning of the month and am looking for recommendations.

I think someone needs to put a conference together dealing within, “how do students enter middle school or high school without knowing basic math concepts”!

We are just supposed to put our students in groups and let them figure it out. What could go wrong? I class with 25% kids trying to learn and 75% trying to jack up your class. I guess if you put a group of kids together that can't add or subtract, they can magically learn advanced math topics. I guess like that old adage about if you have chimps with typerwriters, they will eventually randomly produce Shakespeare. Admin are duped especially when the kids have whiteboards and are in groups talking. They are talking, but not about math, and no work gets done. Nothing is learned based on assessments. But the kids are collaborating!!!!!!! A win! :/

I found using GoFormative’s free version to be very helpful in teaching new topics to my students. I embed videos I make demonstrating how to complete a question, next I ask them to complete an example showing work, and then the next question they type their answer so it automatically alerts them to see if they answered correctly. It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.
