What can I do with this?  This is the question that I seek to answer with this blog.  How can I improve?  How can I change for the good?  What changes will effect the students the most?

I am a High School math teacher in upstate NY.  I currently teach Geometry (Regents), Algebra (Regents), Computer Programming (Alice and Java), and two half year courses: Applied and Consumer Math.  Next year brings a new 21st century classroom (still not entirely sure what that entails) and a change over to standards based grades (#sbg).  I tried SBG this year in Algebra, but really the people that have wrote nice stuff on the subject are:  Dan Meyer, Shawn Cornally, and Kate Nowak.

More to follow shortly 🙂
