  • Your Compass and Your Anchor

    In his Ted Talk about The Golden Circle, Simon Sinek makes an argument for organizations to lead with their "Why." In this Math Knights episode, we will explore our "Why". As we weigh the needs of preparing our students for post-secondary life beside the impact of the pandemic on our current learners, our "Why" will serve as both our anchor and our compass. 

    Join us as we secure ourselves against the uncertanties that lie ahead, while plotting our course to navigate theses waters successfully with our WHY.
