Today we speak with a 23 year veteran teacher from Alabama; Tiffany Roddy. Tiffany joins us on this Math Mentoring Moment episode where we will explore a struggle or challenge she is working on and together we’ll brainstorm next steps to ignite her teacher moves! 

Stick around and you’ll learn how you can move away from the “I do, we do, you do” approach to teaching math class; how you can gain more time in your course instead of feeling like you’re always behind; and finally, we’ll dive into the two moments that are most important in your lesson.

You’ll Learn: 

 

• How to get your students to share their thinking instead of wait and get. 

• How can I move away from the I do, we do, you do math class. 

• How do I pace my timing? 

• What two moments are the most important in your lesson.
