Post: I'd like to find a school that teaches Math visualization
Posted by All_math_all_the_time on 2/08/09
I tried teaching math in California, but didn't like the
environment and the school I taught at didn't like me much.
I may try teaching again and thought I'd be better off in a
more typical state like Arkanasas.
Is there a shortage of math teachers in Arkansas? Do the
schools encourage creativity in the teachers or is it very
regimented?
My problem is that I really like math but have my own way
of learning and would want to share my method with the
kids. I basically want students to see math in their head
rather than just do the mechanical methods of solving
equations. Is this non-standard technique allowed
What are the principals like in Arkansas? I'd like to find
one that is easy going and interested in the students and
the teachers succeeding together, respecting our
individuality. It seemed like in my California high school
I got sent to the office more than the kids because I
wasn't that hung up on discipline. The principal felt
everyone needed to bow down to him. If he saw one of my
students out of class, I'd catch heck for it.
