PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Would you go to a doctor who successfully treated 68% of their patients?
Can you imagine any circumstance in which you would hire an engineer whose building designs collapsed only 40% of the time?
Year after year, test after test, these statistics represent the rate of failure and proficiency of math students in American schools.
but we have not demanded changes in the single most important element that could positively impact these trends - the way students are taught
360 Degree Math utilizes the most important and fundamental elements of education - how kids learn best. Education is not about standards, it is not about philosophy, and it certainly is not about curriculum. Education is about kids.
From the moment students enter the classroom, they become the performers and while the teacher shifts into the audience, where he or she can observe students closely, see what their misunderstandings are, and correct them instantly.
Learning is no longer done in isolation or dysfunctional groups with students sitting in desks for prolonged periods of time while the teacher tries to help students individually, often repeating the same reminders and directions over and over.
In a 360 Degree Math class, all students work through the math on the four walls of the classroom while the teacher stands in the middle of room and sees the learning as it happens.
The teacher can see student misconceptions immediately and provide feedback to the students in real-time.
Students organically form into social networks of learning during this uptempo, active learning experience, helping one another grow as learners with the teacher's support.
