Brain-based learning is somewhat of a hot topic in many schools. If you're new to what the research says and how it applies to teaching math, you'll want to tune into this incredibly actionable interview. I had the pleasure of talking to Christy Harper who is currently a math specialist but has been an upper elementary math teacher for over 15 years in Sonoma County, California. Christy started as a teacher in our professional development program and then became a member of our team in the last couple of years in addition to her work in the classroom.

In this interview, Christy shares what she has learned about the structure of the brain and how learning is impacted when students are under stress. We chat about simple ways we can create a safe learning environment so that our students' math brains can truly thrive.
