Brian Bushart has shared some of the things he learned while attending the Math Perspectives Leadership Institute led by Kathy Richardson. He has also written a blog post about his thinking now. All of it is worth reading and thinking about. I wanted to save his thinking so I am sharing it here.
“Our standards on the other hand are all about getting answers and going
at a pace that is likely too fast for many of our students. We end up
with classrooms where many students are just imitating procedures or
saying words they do not really understand. How long before these
students find themselves in intervention? We blame the students (and
they likely blame themselves) and put the burden on teachers down the
road to try to build the foundation because we never gave it the time it
deserved.”
