About us
Center for Inspired Teaching is an independent nonprofit organization that invests in and supports teachers. Inspired Teaching provides transformative, improvisation-based professional learning for teachers that is 100% engaging – intellectually, emotionally, and physically. Inspired Teaching envisions a future where all students are enthusiastic learners, who look forward to school and have agency in their education. That begins with teachers. When teachers build creativity, critical thinking skills, or content knowledge in a joyful and challenging environment, they are better positioned to build those skills in their students. Inspired Teaching Institutes are FREE, improvisation-based professional development for teachers and school leaders. They move participants beyond passive professional learning: Inspired Teaching teaches the way people learn best – with our whole selves. Learn more on the Inspired Teaching website!

"I want to feel a sense of significance, worth, and accomplishment." Competence is all about feeling proud, valued, and confident both inside and out. To feel capable, we need a sense of empowerment, worthiness, self-efficacy, and achievement. Learn more about COMPETENCE and the other ABCDE of Learner Needs here: https://lnkd.in/egc7_rnb

Center for Inspired Teaching reposted this
A recent article in The 74 Media about the pervasive -- and harmful -- notion that students can be inherently "bad" at math is an example of the kind of message we've been sending at Center for Inspired Teaching for years; I am happy to see it's beginning to get into the mainstream! The most important points come toward the end of the article: the value of learning mathematical concepts is in its usefulness for understanding the world, not in the outcome on tests or report cards. "More valuable...would be for students to see — and solve — real-world problems by formulating them in mathematical terms and understanding how they evolved in a systematic way." The author cited stopping the spread of COVID through modeling or finding out why people still turn away from electric vehicles, despite their benefits. "If you gave me a magic wand that I could use to make the entire population earn A’s in AP Calculus,” he said, “I wouldn’t take it.”" #Math #Education #Teach https://lnkd.in/e8nr_d4h
Being ‘Bad at Math’ is a Pervasive Concept. Can it Be Banished From Schools?
