Episode notes

Scott and Duane finally get a chance to catch up with each other about the math education going on in our areas. We also talk about how important it is for teachers to form informal systems of support to grow professionally and stay in the education business. Then we spend most of our time talking about the importance of providing pedagogical variety for our students. This leads to a promise that we will do a series of episodes about the Teaching Through Problem Solving style of math teaching.

Here is our flyer for the CMC Central Symposium on March 13 and 14, 2026:
