Welcome to Mr. Tedone's Wonderful World of Mathematics!

 

I have your kids in either Algebra 2 H, Pre-Calculus A or H.  Please take a minute to view my website.  Feel free to contact me at jtedone@wlps.org or 292-5841 with any questions or concerns.

Mission Statement/Vision/Behaviors

A. Mission Statement:

I believe that:

  • Public education is our world’s greatest institution and I am honored to be called to serve that institution.
     
  • It is my responsibility to create the conditions where all of my students can realize their full potential.

 

Therefore:

  • I must provide them a safe environment built on mutual trust and respect, enthusiasm and curiosity.
     
  • I am committed to continuous improvement and collaboration with all the stakeholders of our community.
     
  • I will implement the curriculum with fidelity and observe instructional best practices.
     
  • I will plan rigorous, relevant and differentiated lessons, provide feedback and create data-based interventions.

 

In order to:

  • Empower each and every one of my students to achieve more than they believed was possible.

 

B. Our Class Vision: Guided by the above mission, together we will:
 

  • Be engaged and motivated students working both independently and collaboratively
     
  • Develop our problem solving, critical thinking, communication, and math content skills
     
  • Assess our development of those skills on a growth model and actively seek interventions needed for mastery
     
  • Make meaningful, personalized connections between those skills and the real world.
     
  • Become 21st century, career- and college-ready learners and confident, informed, responsible global citizens.               

 

C. Behaviors of the Exemplary Student: As I strive to be an exemplary teacher, so too do I expect you to be an exemplary student. The observable behaviors of an exemplary student include the following:

  • Interacting with or using technology to enhance your learning related to a given lesson
     
  • Conducting yourself according to agreed-upon and previously-taught expectations
     
  • Engaging in effective and efficient routines and transitions
     
  • Activating your prior knowledge of the content and skills relating to the learning target
     
  • Demonstrating that you own the learning target
     
  • Understanding and articulating the purpose or goal of what you are doing
     
  • Conducting appropriately scaffolded, self-directed activities to fulfill the learning targets
     
  • Producing evidence of utilizing some kind of strategy that you have been taught previously
     
  • Using language and vocabulary of the content, process and strategies that you are learning
     
  • Self-assessing to determine your progress towards meeting the learning target
     
  • Utilizing problem solving strategies as you apply your learning to new situations and contexts
     
  • Challenge and hold each other accountable to achieving the learning target
     
  • Visibly represent your understanding of learning targets, enduring understandings and essential questions
