The last two weeks have been a total nightmare and I've gone through three Math teachers who are supposed to be teaching a MATH STRATEGY class who simply refuse to teach strategy and keep trying to teach MATH.
As I've mentioned before, I teach test prep, and now we have a new test where my students (adults in a graduate program) are being required to score an 86.6 on a Math Test.
Most of the students have not done Math in years and so they are completely confused when it comes to Math. I have a created a series of strategies that work for quickly coming up with the answer on easier questions, but it seems that my Math Teachers will not SHAKE OFF the need to teach the entire concept of Graphing instead of just looking at the questions and helping the students quickly, using process of elimination get the answer.
The difference between Math Strategy and Math is that you don't need to show your work, you just need to get the right answer.
The problem that I am facing is teaching people how to quickly understand a graph and get the right answer. It's a multiple choice test, so I need some strategies that can be helpful.
At this point I'm in need of hiring a consultant to do it MY way because every time I've tried to explain this to a Math Teacher they insist on doing it their way.
I work with several colleges and the other day the Dean of one of colleges called to tell me that the students are complaining about the Math Teachers section of the class even though they understand mine. So I know I'm correct in my observation.
Help. PM me if you are interested in consulting.
