Implementing Instructional Intelligence Skills, Strategies, and Tactics into an International Baccalaureate Diploma Program Mathematics Classroom

Abstract

I was fortunate to have the opportunity for Barrie Bennett to observe my Math IB class at the secondary school in which I teach. His visit came shortly after I had read an article of his (Bennett, 2007) in which he asserts that the best predictor of student achievement is improving the instructional practice of teachers. That day, he was an active observer in the classroom, heavily involved in the discussions, and providing me constructive feedback.
