Questions you would like to ask this teacher:

With such a large class, how do you make sure everyone is keeping up with the pace that math classes put on students?

How do you personally maintain a no cell phone policy in your classroom and do you feel like you’re successful with this?

Ideas to implement in your own class:

More visuals! I have a few things in my photo class that I can definitely show more examples to help my kids build an understanding of it before
we go practice.
Support you would need to move forward:

None .
