29. Loving Teaching While Using New Curriculum with Mona from Honest Math Chat

Kindergarten Cafe Podcast

This week I have Mona from Honest Math Chat on to discuss navigating new math curriculums. Mona is a former math avoider, teacher & instructional coach in Chicago. Her passion for math came when she discovered how to engage every student in a subject she, too, disliked. Through intentionally changing her math class to help students BE mathematicians using a student centered approach math came alive for Mona and her students. Now Mona collaboratively coaches teachers in building a math culture through rigorous student centered math instruction. You can listen to Mona every Monday on her podcast, Honest Math Chat.

In this episode I share:

• Teaching Math in a Student-Centered Way
• Dealing with New Curriculum Challenges
• Adapting Curriculum to Student Needs
• Advocating for Student-Centered Teaching
• Strategies for Encouraging Student Participation
