So this is the first time I’ve ever thought, ‘Let’s just remove all that pressure all together, and let’s not worry about the grade.’ Let’s worry about the learning, worry about what it is you’re trying to get at, and trying to get better at.”
“What I’ve been finding is that the thing that holds students from is the chase for the grade,” Zamora said. Zamora began teaching math at a variety of middle and high schools including Hinsdale South and Lyons Township, yet it was only recently that he started to pioneer an innovative way of teaching and grading. I took every math course I possibly could.” “ would always give math problems, and he expected us to do well in math. “ was the only thing I was ever good at as a kid,” Mr. However, his love of math started well before he came to York. Zamora recently came to work at York at the start of the 2018-2019 school year to replace Sue Brown, the previous math department chair. Although math can oftentimes be a difficult subject for students, a new teacher and department chair is teaching a generation of students different approaches to math and learning as a whole: Ismael Zamora.
