About Yousri

Some students believe that they are not mathematically gifted; therefore incapable of learning mathematics. I believe the contrary, that all students with motivation sustained by the teacher and confidence in their mathematical skills are essential to the student’s success in the classroom.

As an educator, it’s extremely important to recognize individual strengths and be able to support all learners.
I am always convinced to create a culture of learning in classrooms so students feel emotionally safe and become effective critical and creative thinkers. This needs to be recognized so that students learn to see making mistakes as a learning opportunity and not something to be feared; thus, allowing them to gain and appreciate qualities like empathy and tolerance of diverse opinions and resilience to adversity. In addition, Encouraging engagement and autonomy is a great way to help students understand the purpose of what they are learning to their lives.

My goal is to guide learners to become confident, responsible for themselves, responsible to and respectful of others. I include reflection in my daily practices to encourage students to be reflective, while developing their ability to learn and innovate. In my opinion, reflection is fundamental for students to be able to manage complex thinking processes and outcomes adequately. Reflective practices aid learners to expand their understanding of concepts by creating new connections and relating different ideas; and can guide them to understand themselves as learners by maximizing their strengths and minimizing their weaknesses. To support my students to become independent and reflective learners, I consider two complementary types of reflection: Reflecting on what is being accomplished to support deeper understanding of the concepts; and making learning itself an object of reflection to support student self-regulation and independent learning.

I thrive on encouraging students to develop a growth mindset and use a wider range of perspectives where performance can be improved. In completing an activity or a project, students are learning that success is dependent on the whole group performing well. This often requires students to act as leaders, demonstrate resilience and practice their social skills. Time is also allocated during and after a project for students to reflect not only on their success, but also their involvement in the activities and their personal growth. In addition, when interaction between students is focused on the topic and process of learning, their relations become more respectful and helpful. Students collaborating as members of a community are motivated to help each other and to learn from each other.

I refer to the Socratic Method, Bloom’s Taxonomy of Critical Thought and Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences when I am creating my daily lesson plans to assure that I teach to a variety of learning styles. By teaching to these learning styles and presenting the concept in the ways stated above, I create an atmosphere where success for the student is probable. I consider success to be more likely because not only am I presenting information multiple ways, but I am also encouraging students who understand the material to help others who do not; therefore giving the students a view of the material from their peers. Creating this success is the first step in motivation. I believe that once the students understand that math is a subject that they can understand, their confidence and motivation will increase therefore making them more apt to put forth more effort in the math classroom.

In addition, I am always willing to promote intercultural understanding, celebrate diversity and actively develop in students a deep appreciation of other people’s views and perspectives. As an educator, I support and/or conduct activities in physical recreation, performance arts, science fairs, field trips, public speeches, community service, health and social education, and student led and managed body. As a result, students build their confidence to evaluate their peers and to evaluate their own improvement and growth. By introducing them to the concepts of community service and challenges, I allow them to be responsible for the role they play in school, in the community and in their own personal growth.

I believe that a confident, responsible, reflective, creative and engaged learner reasons and makes decisions on the basis of positive personal values and an understanding of their emotions.
