In this episode of The Learning Curve, we delve into the world of junior high math education. Our guest is a math teacher who works collaboratively with her team. By emphasizing formative assessment and deliberate practice, they create a pathway for students to achieve mastery of learning outcomes. Join us as we explore the power of collaboration, formative assessment, and intentional practice in fostering mathematical proficiency.
Central to their approach is the integration of formative assessment practices. Our guest teacher discusses how regular and ongoing assessment allows her team to identify students' strengths and areas for improvement, providing timely feedback and targeted support. By focusing on formative assessment, students are empowered to track their own progress and take ownership of their learning journey.
The episode also delves into the concept of deliberate practice, where students engage in purposeful, targeted practice to build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. Our guest teacher shares strategies and techniques she employs in her classroom to foster this practice and support students in their quest for mastery.
