Today we speak with Garret Schneider, a middle school math teacher from Indiana. Like many of us, Garret is feeling a little bit like he’s a lone wolf as he continues to seek out ways to elevate his teaching practice while many colleagues continue independently on their own teaching journeys. In this Math Mentoring Moment Episode, we will dig into why this lone journey is getting Garret down and how he might be able to work towards developing a professional learning community where all members feel accepted and valued regardless of their teaching philosophy and pedagogical approach.  You’ll Learn Answers To: How can you build your own support network / PLC;How to help your fellow teachers “get on board”; and, Why it’s a blessing when you find something new that works. Resources: Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard [Book]: https://amzn.to/2B1vjXLJoin Us For A Math Mentoring Moment Episode: https://makemathmoments.com/mentorThe Make Math Moments Academy: https://makemathmoments.com/academy Proportional Reasoning Course: https://makemathmoments.com/proportions Problem Based Tasks: https://makemathmoments.com/tasks/The Thinking Classroom: https://buildingthinkingclassrooms.com/podcasts/
