A basic strategy of good teaching is applying the taught concept in a local context. An example of this when teaching the sine wave, is to have students graph our ever changing amount of daylight; it graphs to an almost perfect shape of this wave. Last night we held our annual BP Teacher of Excellence Awards dinner. The brief summaries of each of the 5 teachers’ nominations included how the they provide their students application opportunities as a part of their instruction. The recognition of our 5 teachers is a great way to end the year. Because they work among many other excellent teachers, I know that each of them was humbled to be recognized in this way. As we continue to refine our instructional practices, let’s take some time to recognize the many instances of excellent (application filled) teaching in our classrooms.
