Have any of your students ever asked, "Why do we need to learn this math?" I'm guessing you've heard that at some point. Today I chat with Fareed Elmasry, math teacher and current recipient of the Teacher of the Year award, and he talks about how to effectively incorporate math into the real world and does a great job of explaining how to do this. In addition, we discuss the importance of building student relationships and how that has tremendously helped student success in his classroom.

Fareed Elmasry has been in education since 2010. He has taught several math classes but has specialized in Geometry and Data Science. As an employee of the Santa Ana Unified School District, Fareed has served not only as a math teacher, but as the Head Boys Basketball coach as well as the Department Chair for Santa Ana High School. He is the most recent recipient of the Teacher of the Year Award for his school, which houses over 110 teachers total. He holds credentials in Foundational Level Math as well as

Administration.

This can be a game changer in helping you with your students on a daily basis, and even in your personal life! Listen to today's quick but powerful message on how perspective can really change the trajectory of the day!

In the ever-shifting world of education, it's pretty common for administrators and teachers to stick to what they know, keeping with the tried-and-true methods. Eric Sheninger offers a fresh perspective on education and learning.

His profound ideas challenge the status quo and encourage us to reimagine education for the benefit of our students.

Beyond his written insights, Eric actively engages with schools worldwide, empowering educators to surpass their potential and enhance outcomes for learners. As the founder and CEO of Aspire Change EDU, a collaborative consultancy committed to providing personalized support to educational systems, Eric brings a wealth of experience to the table.
