I substituted for grade 10 once this week, and it was a ton of fun. I definitely recommend that the next math person that comes to Sampoerna works with more than one grade if possible. Anyway, Standard 1b: Implements strategies supporting student, building, and district goals, relates to this class because the teacher prepared powerpoint slides for me to use, and I facilitated discussion while the students presented the slides. She wanted the class to be done this way because one of the goals for the students is for them to be more proactive. She wanted to give the students a chance to show what they’ve learned and become the teachers.

Standard 2a: Understands and uses key concepts, underlying themes, relationships, and different perspectives related to the content area, relates to this week because I knew that what I was teaching in additional math related to some other concepts that will come up later in calculus. I previewed a couple of those items as we went through the lesson. Also, Standard 3e: Uses available resources, including technologies, in the development and sequencing of instruction, relates because I used a computer, projector and portable whiteboards for my Jeopardy game earlier in the week.
