Introduction
When walking into a classroom,
wondering what is going to happen today is
on every teachers mind. What if a student
needs all my attention during the class and I
cannot work with my other students? Most
new teachers have no idea if they really know
how to handle this situation. A more
experience teacher may have a work sheet
for the students to do if this happens, but the
other students are really left high and dry.
What is out there to help teachers continue
to teach their students and still be able to do
many things at once. How can teachers
today make their students more desirable for
the global job market? What can a teacher
do in their classroom to make their students,
better communicators, reflectors on person
work, critical thinkers, and better problem
solvers, all while still their the material and
keeping up with mandatory state deadlines
and have their students reach goals set by
the government. A solution too these
question is POGIL.
