Dr. Tanner has consistently excellent student evaluations: students state that they have never taken a better class at BYU.

CPR FOR THE COMMON CORE: USING THE COMPREHENSIVE MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTION...

Sunday, April 22 - Wednesday, April 25
Abstract/Description: The Comprehensive Mathematics Instruction (CMI) Framework developed by the Brigham Young University Public School Partnership informs teachers on how to align CCSSM content standards along a progression from emerging ideas, strategies and representations towards more robust conceptual, procedural, and representational understanding. In this session participants will use the CMI framework to deepen their understanding of a subset of high school standards as they select, sequence and connect these standards across a learning cycle of instruction.

The Structure Of Student Teaching Can Change The Focus To Students' Mathematical Thinking

July 10, 2019 05:16 PM
For many undergraduates studying in the field of math education, student teaching serves as a trial run for their real world experience. When structured correctly, student teaching can prepare students to be excellent mathematics teachers when they finally step into their own classroom. However, when the focus of the experience is on classroom management rather than on teaching the educational material, the student teacher fails to garner the skill most vital to their chosen profession: helping students to learn and understand mathematics.

Good Mentoring During Student Teaching Pays Off In First-Year

January 28, 2019 11:12 AM
Kelly Eddington, a recent graduate now teaching at Bear River High School, has learned to enjoy her interactions with the sophomores and juniors she teaches. “As a student teacher I was a little unsure how to interact with the students and how to make connections,” said Eddington. “Just from experience and practice I have learned to connect with teenagers and get to know them as people. I am more patient with their sometimes ‘disruptive’ behavior because I see them as kids who just want to have fun.”
