In this episode, we unpack a big question: What’s your vision for math classrooms? From years of visiting classrooms and leading professional development, our guest shares a powerful answer rooted in three values: joy, curiosity, and teacher sustainability. This isn’t just an ideal—it’s a framework leaders and teachers can work toward right now.

🛠️ Try These 3 Professional Learning Moves That Actually Work

Ready to lead transformative PD in your building? Here are three things you can try right away:

  1. Attend PD yourself—model what it looks like to learn and grow.
  2. Embrace curiosity—read, ask questions, and lead with an asset-based mindset.
  3. Share what’s working—create in-house PD by spotlighting great teaching and inviting others to observe.

These strategies don’t cost much—but they make a big difference in staff morale, classroom quality, and student outcomes.
