During my first week as a math resource teacher, I thought about how great if would be if I made an effort to document the incredible learning experiences that lay ahead. Maybe I'll write a blog, I said to myself, I'll get started on that next week.
Well, almost three months in, I'm finally getting the wheels off the ground. Better late than never I guess.
My blogging experience has been limited to documenting a trip to Europe a few summers ago, in an effort to not only provide our friends and family with daily updates of our adventures, but also to provide my wife and I with a personal and detailed artefact of our travels. While it seemed tedious at times, we cherish that snapshot of our trip, and we appreciate having such a dynamic collection of stories and pictures at our fingertips, and I found the reflective process almost meditative.
So here I am, trying to encapsulate my experience as a math IRT. I have a love for doing math and for teaching math, but I recognize that there is a vast amount of mathematical ideas, content knowledge, and good pedagogy that awaits my discovery.
I can't say with any certainty how often I'll post, or even what I'll write about, but I owe it to myself to at least make an effort to make some sense out of the journey, and the lessons learned along the way.
