Mainly school ideas: Creative Maths Classrooms
http://mainlyschool.blogspot.com/2010/07/creative-maths-classrooms.html
Mostly about High School teaching and leadership. Sunday, July 18, 2010. This is a slightly different kind of post. Prompted by this week's #ukedchat on Twitter, I wanted to ask if anyone would like to post their ideas specifically about Creative Maths Clasrooms here or on Twitter (maybe you could send them to me @Janshs and use the hashtag #creativemathsclassrooms? Maybe you could also post good websites/resources/people to follow on Twitter? Neuroscience in the classroom. Make lots of use of mind maps.

Mainly school ideas: We are the ones we've been waiting for
http://mainlyschool.blogspot.com/2010/05/we-are-ones-weve-been-waiting-for.html
Mostly about High School teaching and leadership. Friday, May 28, 2010. We are the ones we've been waiting for. Had a great Year 10 lesson today based on the Hopi Elders prophecy:. You have been telling people that this is the Eleventh Hour, now you. Must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour. And there are. Things to be considered. . . . Where are you living? What are you doing? What are your relationships? Are you in right relation? Where is your water? It is time to speak your truth. Http:...

Mainly school ideas: October 2010
http://mainlyschool.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Mostly about High School teaching and leadership. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. How we try to 'do' professional development. I thought it was about time to ask what people think of our teacher professional development programme. We want to move away from homogenous PD and believe it should be from Beginning Teachers (pre-service) to headship! It takes several forms (and it's for teachers and all support staff):. Just starting a paired coaching/mentoring programme (has been running a few weeks). NQTs engag...

Janshs blog: been posting on mainly school ideas
http://h809-jm.blogspot.com/2009/07/been-posting-on-mainly-school-ideas.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Been posting on mainly school ideas. Last two posts have been on the related blog 'mainly school ideas'. About using wikis in class and also different and manageable formative assessment of students. I guess both might be of interest to other levels of education. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I think I may have just reached this point: Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. Neal Donald Walsch. These are my personal views. A celebration speech by Sir John Rowling.

Janshs blog: Thinking out loud
http://h809-jm.blogspot.com/2011/10/thinking-out-loud.html
Friday, October 21, 2011. As usual, something sparks my day dreaming about education and here we go again. This time it was Steve Joyce on Undercover Boss USA. Well I work in an organisation of only about 1000 or so people and everyone knows me so I could not go 'undercover' but I wonder how I would fare as any one of the following (even for an hour let alone a day):. Or even . a classroom teacher with a full teaching load! Makes you think doesn't it? Do they know they are valued? Food for thought again .

Janshs blog: never thought of this before
http://h809-jm.blogspot.com/2012/02/never-thought-of-this-before.html
Monday, February 20, 2012. Never thought of this before. A little idea prompted by #mathchat on Twitter (thanks #mathchatters); I'm not sure it's what any of them meant but it gave me a thought . I often start a new topic by asking students to do spider diagram (concept map) of what they already know about it We share these together and add to them and then refer back to them during the topic and often at the 'end', perhaps before an assessment activity. Has anyone else done this sort of thing? Surprises...
