recipe for a bad teacher

this weekend I was asked to write a recipe poem in class

and seeing how this year I have really been grappling with the concept of quality teaching

I instantly knew what I wanted to write a recipe for - a bad teacher

so with the help of my fellow educators, Amy & Kathy

here's what we came up with

and while trying to not do that today

we did this instead

we looked back at our past two benchmark tests

and they told me what questions they struggled on

and more importantly...why

and hey, ask kids to use post-its and it is game on.

tomorrow, we'll use poetry & post-its together

so I'm pretty excited about that
