I believe that as educators, we must set our students up for success in the real world. I think that preparing students for academia will not set them up correctly. We must show them examples that will be more applicable to their lives so that in the future they can look back at our lessons and use them if needed.
I think that we as people are able to change the way our subjects were traditionally were taught to us. Teaching math in the usual way of lecturing students and assessing them with tests is not very beneficial for most students. Finding more integrated ways of teaching students is important to reach everyone's learning styles in the classroom. This might include different assessment methods like formative assessments, exit slips, and different project types, or teaching a flipped classroom. If we don't change the way we teach subjects then students will continue to struggle unless they learn by reading textbooks or listening to lectures.
I find that climate change is a very pressing issue in today's society. It feels like people do not speak about it enough and that we are not doing enough to help prevent it from worsening.
