Quanta Magazine recently followed four science and mathematics teachers into their classrooms to spotlight outstanding educators and give an inside look on the art of the profession. MƒA Master Teachers Michael Zitolo and Soni Midha, as well as former MƒA Master Teacher Channa Comer shared their perspectives on education policy and what we can learn from their classrooms. Here is an excerpt from MƒA Master Teacher Mike Zitolo’s featured section:

After chatting with him and other participants about the rapid approach of summer, Comer soon launches into the benefits of using primary sources such as maps, original documents and diagrams in the science classroom to help engage students.
During the course (offered by Math for America) the cohort brainstorms ways of integrating primary sources into their curricula.”
