cognitively accessible math

I’m at Parkland College (for a few decades) helping folks navigate developmental courses/placements (but fighting the “hey, 5% of these folks could pass college so we should just get rid of developmental teaching” trends) dreaming of structured paths for building understanding *and* fluency instead of “I don’t have time to teach you, here’s a calculator.”

  • @Swede1952@universeodon.com welp, I have done that before ;) It was the automatic Keurig like thing at work.
    It was after I’d hit start and hadn’t put water in it.
    Then I forgot to put the cup underneath so all the coffee just went first at least into the thing that boosts the cup up so it’s closer, but then just all over the place.
    I cleaned up, made the coffee, drank it and moved forward.
    Once in the teacher’s lounge, a teacher inquired as to whether an extremely forgetful student forgot about the stuff he forgot from one class to the next and I said enthusiastically, “Probably Yes.” I saw my supervisor kinda figure out a thing because how would I know? :P Erm, because I had been that student.
    Sometimes it’s a good thing!
    Let’s keep moving :)
