How would you currently describe your overall approach to teaching in your classroom: traditional, process mastery, or constructivist? What works well in your approach? What needs improvement?

I teach more process mastery but with built in flexibilities.

I teach middle and high school math and my approach and that of my current school is very much traditional. It works well to ensure that all the concepts we need to cover are covered for the year. However, I definitely need to figure out a way to incorporate more hands-on learning in the classroom and giving student more choice about the types of activities we do as a course. I’ve been able to incorporate hands-on projects in Geometry, but Algebra 1 and Calculus need a bit more work in that regard.

I think I take a process/mastery approach. My fear is that my curriculum is not creative enough to engage the students well in the work of learning.

[Austin]

Traditional with some constr in the hands-on portions of lab. I would like to design labs in which advanced students may individually dig deeper.

Perhaps more towards traditionalist, although there’s a bit of all. I think we should use wise discernment into what works best for each students’ learning style as well.
