Making Math Moments That Matter Where to Go Next When Your Team Is “All-In” - A Math Mentoring Moment
Steve is a Mathematics Specialist and Vice Principal of Academics in his school from the Seattle, Washington area. Join us as we learn about Steve and the work he and his colleagues have been engaging in to improve the overall teaching and learning process of mathematics in their building.
While Steve shares that his team is “all-in” and “pulling the same wagon” we are pulling over here at Make Math Moments, they know that there is always a pebble kicking around in that shoe that needs a good shake-out.
Stick around and we’ll hear about some of the current pebbles including how to “cover it all” when we are trying so hard to integrate mathematics teaching practices that we know are so important to build mathematically proficient students.
This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we chat with a teacher like you who is working through some problems of practice and together we brainstorm ways to overcome them.
You’ll Learn:
- How to build a culture of learning in mathematics at your school/district;
- Strategies to ensure that we still “cover” the standards while engaging in effective teaching practices;
- Why everyone needs a coach to keep pushing and learning; and,
- How you might push your mathematics program to the next step along your journey.
