Application and context are really important parts of any subject. It's difficult though in working through the process of whether the student is ready to be challenged. I'm with ktenkely, aim high. You will also simply need to be ready to put in the safety net for those who need the extra support. I'm loving hearing your blog on this. You are an inspiration to me (both as a friend, and through my own journey as a teacher to be)! I think you’re right Geoff. Application and context are really important parts of any subject.

I feel like each year I have taught, I have been able to do more with the kids. I have a better feel for what they can handle and what I can expect of them. I would keep aiming high, they may surprise you yet! It is hard as a first year teacher to gauge where the students are.
