My textbook is a resource. I believe it is a guide and the teacher must make instructional decisions about how material is to be presented and what assignments are appropriate for content mastery. Although my textbook often has enough "good" problems for students to practice, I often find myself making my own worksheets, note guides, tests, and quizzes. As much as possible, I try to incorporate the use of Power Point, interactive Whiteboard, student whiteboards, games, and interactive activities in instruction. This is a work in progress, however, because of time constraints due to district pacing guides and state testing.
