A Girl Has Many Names

Image
August 9, 2017 A girl has many names. (Reference: GOT) Mom, wife, daughter, TOSA (instructional coach), mathematician, runner, traveler, wine enthusiast, etc. I learned last year, a TOSA has many names too. Textbook distributor, bag stuffer, event organizer, website maker, PD planner, facilitator, etc. I just got another that I wasn't expecting,                                                  Co-Teacher My position is a full time TOSA. However, due to the needs of my district, I have been asked to teach one class per day at one of my 5 high schools. Today was my first day BACK in the classroom! It is intimidating going into the classroom after being a TOSA (or in my case, while being a TOSA). It feels like the expectation is extremely high. In addition, the course I am teaching is a brand new, SUPER rigorous course. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED So where do we as teachers turn for inspiration?  TWITTER! First I found a game from Marilyn Burns (@mburnsmath) 1-10
