A math teacher at a recent Tabor Rotation training session came up during the break and began sharing her frustration with me,
āIām just learning the CCSS (Common Core State Standards) that our state recently adopted. Now our district is mandating small group instruction, math workstations, and regular intervention.…
āIf I had thought about it, I wouldnāt have done the experiment. The literature was full of examples that said you canāt do this.āĀ Ā Ā Ā -Spencer Silver (inventor of Post-it adhesive)
People typically don’t read long blogs. But, this one is well worth the read! A few weeks ago, I had the incredible opportunity to visit a school who took a team of teachers who have used the Tabor Rotation Framework for a semester, a couple of available classrooms, an enthusiastic math specialist, a supportive administrative team, a little bit of time, a little bit of sweat, andā¦created a Math Lab!…
Like any good invention, the Tabor Rotation Framework came out of necessity. A couple of decades ago, I realized that my students needed a better way to learn mathematical concepts. I had almost 40 students in a class, a classroom with no walls, fewer than half of my students on grade level, less than 60 minutes to teach math, and my students would be taking MSPAP (Maryland School Performance Assessment Program).Ā …
How can a teacher become more efficient in the classroom?
How can our schools make the most of
mathematical minutes?
What does RtI (Response to Intervention)
look like in a high school classroom?
What does a week of small-group, differentiated instruction look like?
Help!
Elementary & secondary level teachers, administrators, leadership teams, departments, and districts are looking for good examples of small-group, differentiated instruction in mathematics.…
