Are you a math coach or looking to step into a coaching role? If so, learning from other math coaches is a great way to build your skills as a coach.

In this episode, I'm interviewing one of the greatest math coaches, Nicora Placa, on her approach to collaborative math coaching, creating learning environments for teachers to hone their craft, and her book filled with tools and practical tips for math coaches.

We are chatting about: 

  • What collaborative coaching is
  • Nicora's 6 tools for collaborative math coaching
  • Answering FAQs from math coaches
