About Kwame

As a math teacher, my goal is to create a safe and respectful learning environment where students can freely express their ideas and take academic risks without the fear of being teased by their peers.  I believe when this environment is created, students will be actively engaged and ready to receive knowledge.  In order for students to be successful, they must first believe that they are capable of being successful.   Over the years, I have had many students enter my classroom with the belief that "Math is not their thing" or "they are not good in Math".  
 
Although the process of changing that mindset can be challenging, it is a task that can be achieved through means of consistent positive reinforcement.  The more students feel that I’m fully invested in their quest to be the best mathematicians they can be, the more they will push themselves to overcome their fears of numbers, variables, and equations.

My lessons are fun, interactive, and engaging! In terms of the lesson format, I always start with a Do Now or warm up which focuses on building on basic numeracy skills or prerequisite concepts that learned from previous grade levels.

After the Do Now, I have about a 5-10 minute period where I check in with the student to see if they have questions or lingering misunderstandings from the previous lesson. The student’s inquiries and comfort level of the previous lesson ultimately inform whether we spend more time on the last skill or move on to new content.

From there, I spent the next 30 minutes focused on the new lesson or reteaching the previous lesson. This would include direct instruction, guided practice, and independent practice.

To close out our time, I do a final check-in with the student and give a short assessment to see where they stand at lesson’s end.

My lessons are typically for middle school math students but I also work with high school students who are in need of further math intervention.
