Humanizing Education
What does that mean???
Folks attending an institute in El Cerrito will soon find out.
August 4-6 at Prospect Sierra School in El Cerrito is a training called 100% Engagement: Humanizing the Educational Process (with an optional advanced training August 1-3 held at the Buck Institute of Education)
According to the flier:
Engaging 100% of learners is possible; it's time to initiate a new framework for education by creating equitable and engaging classrooms that draw upon lived experiences and the skills required to achieve academically. This is the essence of what you will learn and experience at our institute.

Mrs. Madden from South Carolina

Space Math--Real World Application for High School Math
Math teachers are always thinking about real world applications to math. Check out NASA's website for Space Math at http://spacemath.gsfc.nasa.gov/. The goal of these problems is to teach students about astronomy and space science by using mathematics and real-world problems. The current batch is for January-April, 2010. As new NASA press releases are posted, a small number of additional math problems will appear. For email announcements about Space Math, join the E-Teachers Listserve.
Problem 328 caught my attention. It deals with domain and range and graphing. Students use satellite data to study a practical application of the product of two functions by graphing them individually, and their product. How cool is that?!?!
