Giving middle school kids a powerful math experience. What is holding you back from truly raising up the kids in your classroom this year? Becoming a better teacher.

I want to start planning now! I think once I pin down what I want to accomplish it will be easier to decide how. I also need to start thinking about how to interface with the elementary school. How many of their meetings should I attend? Who will be my go to person there? What supplies will I have access to? Day in the life.
