unboxed

This is what we have meant for -  
#unboxed.


*We have defined "boxed" ed or *math or whatever as fixed content... the stuff that shows up on csap/act/sat.... included in that is the erroneous pedagogy that swims in teaching to a test.. funding for a test... etc.

Via this definition, we have found that assessment is our best friend.... and all this time it's what has given us the most anxiety - and generally is sent straight to the recycle bin. We're working on learning how to frequently iterate self-assessment - as one movement/flow of learning.


*As long as students continue to take standardized tests as they do today, ie: CSAP, ACT, SAT, etc, the overall math content will be driven by the State Standards.
