If you listen to this podcast, chances are you believe not only that we can fix math education but that we know how to do it.  So WHY haven't we yet?!

Today's guest Steve Leinwand is a true legend in this space, known for his radical honesty and authenticity in fighting for a better system for all.  He joined Vanessa from his vacation (because he can never resist a good rant!) to discuss:

• accepting people's full selves in math so they don't have to code-switch
• how to make PD truly effective for teachers and supervisors
• how students can learn from each other as much as from teachers
