Teaching to the Big Ideas of Science

Abstract

In the past ten years, teaching has developed into a new life for me. New instructional approaches are influencing new standards and expectations for all teachers and students across the United States. Every teacher wishes to help their students develop problem solving skills and persevere through challenges, skills that are recognized as necessary as a twenty-first century learner. That is why being a classroom teacher demands flexibility and willingness to being open to change. It is through all of this that student understanding has and will continue to flourish.
