I reviewed several “best practices in education” websites and the best practices I related to the most were the following:
1) Teaching for Understanding. I loved this as a best practice because it encompasses activities oriented toward higher-order thinking skills. Teaching for understanding requires a greater use of interdisciplinary curriculum and cooperative learning.
2) Use of Technology. I think it is a best practice to use technology. Technology is something all students will use in their future workplace and is an important skill
3) Educating All Students. I love this best practice because it emphasizes the fact that teachers need to change how they present material to reach all types of learners.
4) Integrated Services. I think this is an important “best practice” because it emphasizes team teaching and integrating services outside the school with the school system.
As we take a more in depth look at the MS math standards, you will have the opportunity to integrate some of the best practices into your lesson plans, beginning with Session #2. Thanks for sharing.
