Tedx: Emotional Intelligence from a Teenage Perspective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbmLNr89L-A

Powerful message from a teenager as to the why SEL is so important in secondary classrooms - this video really highlights why SEL strategies for teenagers need to be catered to their specific and very different needs.

A video that sheds light on how educators can still incorporate social emotional learning through distance education. Given the current climate of the world, I thought this would be a really important note to include (maybe at the end of the presentation) that these strategies can still be incorporated online.

Social & Emotional Learning Resource Finder: http://www.selresources.com

UBC created the above resource "as a “one-stop” site for educators and anyone who works with children and youth to learn about how to foster social-emotional learning (SEL) and mental well-being in any educational setting". Specifically, I will use this to find specific secondary mathematics strategies.

Introducing ME!

 Hey Y'all!  This is my very first post on the blog so I thought I would interview myself so that you all could learn a bit more about ME! Two truths and a lie...can you guess which is the lie?  I lived in Hong Kong for 4 years! I absolutely love flying.  I hate seafood.  What is one of your passions you are excited to bring into the classroom?       I love love love clothing... One of my favourite things is expression through what I wear. I can't wait to have the most aesthetic classroom in the school! Catch me as the teacher that matches my scrunchy, to my mask, to the shoes I'm wearing! As you can see.. I love pink.  What do you like to do in your spare time?      When I am not working, or doing school things, I love to spend time with my family! My dad and I do all sorts of physical activity together from biking to running to swimming. Check out below a picture of my fun dad and I after the UBC triathlon!

Tact of Teaching

Tact of Teaching “...developing certain qualities or traits of character such as open-mindedness or sincerity, whole-hearted or absorbed interests, responsibility, as well as the need for a habit of thinking in a reflective way...” I think this quote resonates strongly with my belief that teacher development and reflective teaching goes hand in hand with personal development. I think if the focus of our professional development programs and teacher education programs focus on mentoring and encouraging the development of good character traits, we have a better chance at creating good teachers.  “...instead of improving my reaching it worsens... Sometimes the result is that I grow more self-conscious and I become aware of the students looking at me and judging me.” This resonates with my current feelings towards the practicum. After all of the knowledge we have acquired about teaching, I am more nervous than ever before to step in front of a classroom. I have to keep reminding myself...

Sustainable Mathematics

To think of numbers as something that makes you feel, is a seemingly wild concept. This is one of the things that made me stop while reading Moshe Renert's article: "humans' inability to feel large numbers". This passage really resonated with me because I never felt of numbers having a feeling attached to them. I think this additionally ties in with what Jo Boaler & the Stephen Wolfram were trying to argue in their talks. In particular, their emphasis on that 75% of mathematics should be in real-world (25% in computation), whereas we often put more of an emphasis on the computation portion of mathematics. In this way, it makes more sense to me why  Renert's statement of feeling numbers felt like a weird concept.  Another thing that made me stop was honestly the title of the article, "Sustainable Mathematics Education". In reading the title, I had no idea what to expect from the article. Of course, I knew that mathematics and statistics play a vital i...
