Hi, my name is Cordaro Crawford. I'm an Assistant Principal of Discipline and Athletic Director at Thomson High School. I graduated from Paine College with a Business Administration (Accounting) major. I also have a Master's Degree from Augusta University (MAT Program) and an Educational Leadership Specialist from Augusta University. I'm a 2005 graduate of Thomson High School, which is the best class to ever come through the halls of Thomson. I am passionate about my community and am a role model for my students and my community. Also passionate about our Thomson High School Athletics and bleed Black and Gold! Go Dogs!

Goals are to teach the students and respect each of my students in my classroom because if they feel respected it would be easier to teach them.  When students feel respected they get comfortable and they then feel a part of the class and will work hard to do their best.  When students feel comfortable they are not afraid to make mistakes because they understand they will grow from their mistakes.  According to data, we all learn better when we make mistakes because it allows us to really focus. 

 

Watching a video from Jo Boaler (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3icoSeGqQtY) she teaches that when you make mistakes you activate your brain and increases learning.  When it comes to NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) it is important for students to understand the meaning of math and why we are doing it.  We will use a variety of symbolic representations.  Use NCTM (https://www.nctm.org/) to get resources to help with instruction during these different times. This resource is so beneficial for me as a teacher.
