Case Study: Teaching Elementary School
Not what you're looking for?
Anthony teaches elementary school math in NY City. Most of his students come from wealthy families who come to class very prepared skill-wise for the teaching that takes place in his classroom. As a final project, he wants each of his students to present one of the concepts from the term to the rest of the students. Within their presentation, he wants each student to define the concept, give an example of it, and present a real world situation where the concept would be useful.

- How can he offer students specific feedback on their presentations?
