A2 @karynsmith17 hit it on the head, it depends on the student's interests #wyoedchat and expanding on that, it depends on the approach in the classroom - if simple stand and deliver is the model, its hard to connect to kids that way regardless of topic
A2 #Wyoedchat which ever subject you are not prepared to share. Students often ask math teachers "when am I ever going use this in real life?" Best answer I ever heard was a teacher respond w/ "Probably never. But problem solving skills will serve you the rest of your life.
A3 I really want to support my teachers and principals as we migrate to #PBL so getting plenty of authentic learning opportunities for my teachers will be big! Also, first year as superintendent, so landing the plane will be great #wyoedchat
