Math Homework: Does It Add Up?: Natalie Klein at TEDxABQED

Описание: Klein is a high school math teacher at Bosque School in Albuquerque. While studying pure mathematics at the University of New Mexico, Klein fell in love with teaching through tutoring other college math students. As a teacher, she believes in challenging common assumptions about education and strives to continually question her own practices rather than simply follow patterns that are prevalent in schools in the United States.

In particular, Klein has recently been investigating the usefulness of homework as an assessment tool and a learning aid.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
