Teaching

"There is no education like adversity."--Disraeli

I am not currently a teacher, for various reasons, but perhaps in the future I'll be able to return. Who knows?

Pages devoted explicitly to math may or may not be of additional interest to you.

Why Teaching? - A follow-up to Why Math? in the math section of this website. It's written to stand independently, so there's some overlap, but if you found the previous one interesting, you may want to take a peek.
"This Ain't Math!" - Problems with entrenched preconceptions of what constitutes mathematics, and my attempts to knock 'em down in my classes (and elsewhere).
"Why Can't You Just Tell Me?" - Learned helplessness, the virtues of groupwork and classroom esprit, and why my goal is to make myself obsolete.
"You're a Sub? Awesome!" - Notes on my brief experiences as a substitute teacher, not necessarily just in math.
