Making Math Moments That Matter

How To Mentor Educators With New Math Standards - A Math Mentoring Moment


Listen Later

Today we bring on Laura Tomas for a record third appearance. Laura has been an educator for 31 years, she’s a math coach and fellow podcast host from Palm Beach Florida. 

Laura chats with us today about providing support during the pandemic, why school leaders and coaches need to step into a teaching role on a regular basis, how to build a mentor/mentee relationship without pushing too hard, and how we can best support teachers when the standards shift or change. 

This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we talk with a member of the Math Moment Maker Community who is working through problems of practice and together we brainstorm possible next steps and strategies to overcome them. 


You’ll Learn: 

  • How we can best support teachers when the standards shift/change;
  • How to build mentor/mentee relationships without pushing too hard, too fast;
  • Why school leaders should step into teaching roles on a regular basis; and, 
  • How you can use “green sheets” as a means to build relationships by offering value to classroom teachers.
