"The aim of teaching 
is not only to transmit information, 
but also to 
transform students 
from passive recipients of other people's knowledge 
into 
active constructors 
of their own and others' knowledge."

My i-images

If math is the language of nature, 
why aren't my students naturally communicating their understanding of math?
I will create a math department professional learning community that focuses on STEM lessons that will engage students.  In addition to STEM lessons and discussions based on student work to inform teaching, the department will seek connections to our career academy classes.  This will provide students the opportunity to transform their understanding from instrumental to relational.  The math department PLC will be a model for other departments who will be able to use resources on my website to create their own PLC
