Accelerated Math Decelerates Blogger

Sorry for my absence. We have begun yet another new program in school this month called Accelerated Math. We are receiving training, but not quickly enough. We are to be immersed in the program, having all students actively using the program NOW, if not sooner. It has become a "learn as you go" program for we, the teachers. Thankfully we are willing to share with one another what we have learned, especially the parts about what does not work! Most of the students really like the program. Those who struggle in math are not as willing to work in the program. I am so busy keeping the program and all its components going while we are doing acc math for the day that it has become easy for the strugglers to just sit and do nothing. I will have to find a way to "fix" this problem, and soon!
