Vision of EmpowermentWe need educators who recognize that the success of all students depends on educators who share responsibility for their success. No teacher has the answers for every student's challenges. Students are best served when educators recognize the talents and expertise of colleagues, acknowledge their own strengths and areas for growth, and agree together to accept the responsibility for the learning for all students. ~Stephanie Hirsch

QUESTIONS
MATHEMATICAL MODELING
*Mathematicians create models to interpret and predict the behavior of real world phenomena* Mathematical models have limits and sometimes they distort or misrepresent.
How can we best model this (real world phenomena)?
What are the limits of this model?
How reliable are its predictions?
DETERMINING CENTRAL IDEAS IN TEXT
*Writers don’t always say things directly or literally; sometimes they convey their ideas indirectly (e.g., metaphor, satire, irony).
What is this text really about? (e.g. theme, main idea, moral)
How do you “read between the lines?”
