Despite our best efforts as leaders, sometimes we don’t see the kind of change in teacher practice that we set out to achieve. Perhaps you’ve been coaching your heart out or spending late nights designing the most epic PDs, yet you STILL walk into classrooms and observe the same instructional practices you’ve been trying to shift. What’s going on? Why the lack of progress? In this episode, I’m sharing 3 common mistakes you may be making that keeps teacher growth stagnant.
Have you ever asked yourself:
- How can I find time for myself as a teacher?
-
How can I build a classroom community that supports deep learning of mathematics?
-
What does equitable instruction entail, and what mindsets, opportunities, strategies, and outcomes are necessary to achieve it?
-
How can I teach in a way that reaches all students, including students who enter my class with a lot of unfinished learning?
-
What are the most effective ways to increase access to grade-level math and help ‘bridge the gap’?
A big believer in the 80/20 rule, Chrissy wants to help YOU answer this question above all others: Where should I focus my efforts to make the MOST IMPACT on my students’ learning experiences and math proficiency? In short, what actions truly move the needle when it comes to math?
Drawing from her vast experience as a math educator over the past two decades, Chrissy shares practical advice you can use to create a positive math community and reach every learner no matter their starting point -- all while finding balance in your own life.
