I just finished doing an exciting session with parents around some tough issues on mathematics. I showed them the directions of the new WNCP (Western Northern Canadian Protocol - a framework of math 'outcomes' for western Canada and the territories up north). It was a great discussion! I thought that many of the comments reflected the difficulty that we face as we try to challenge our personal beliefs around numeracy.
What do I believe? How can I examine those beliefs? How can I better my own practice? What does the Ministry of Education require? What are the philosphical shifts needed? ...and so on.
Great conversation.
Just great.
Thanks to all the parents that attended the discussion in Comox, BC!
