Blog 7 - Math Ownership

This year, I have had to step up and help out with our math department while the department chair was on maternity leave. Being in this situation has made me more involved in the planning process for my curriculum area. Last year when we would meet for content, I would just take away from each meeting what the others wanted me to do. This year I am contributing ideas and activities and I feel a greater ownership in my lessons. I think that being in a leadership role in other aspects of my job has also helped with my openness in meetings. I am very excited to continue on this path and I feel that it is beneficial for my future as an educator.
