After 12 wonderful years in the classroom - the last two of which I focused entirely on teaching 6th grade math - I have come closer to realizing my dream as an educator. What's that, you say? I'd consider it the equivalent to winning an NBA championship if 100% of my students got a perfect score on a state exam. Until then, I'm celebrating what my most recent group of 6th graders accomplished. You may have guessed it by the bow tie I'm wearing in their honor. That's right - 100% of them scored proficient or better. In NYS terms that means they all scored a 3 or a 4 - 4 being the highest. What percent scored a 4? Um, 64%. Compare that to what the NY Daily News is reporting - only 60% of students throughout the city just passed their math exams. Am I proud of my students? YES! Do I think my job is done? Absolutely not. I just wish I had more money for bow ties! Maybe it's about time I really did hire an agent. LOL.
KUDOS! That is awesome!
