In this episode we casually chat with middle school math teacher and department chair Shawn Hershey. Shawn recently took our Make Math Moments District Assessment and received his customized report and improvement plan and he’s here to chat with us about optimizing the math program at his school.  This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we chat with a teacher like you who is working through some problems of practice and together we brainstorm ways to overcome them. You’ll Learn: What to focus on first when helping your your fellow teachers shift their pedagogy; How can I use small goals to achieve large goals in the classroom; How the 6 parts of an effective math program support each other; and, How we can decide what pedagogical strategies are most important right now for our teams. Resources: Shawn is one of the founding members of the Make Math Moments AcademyMake Math Moments 3-Part FrameworkMake Math Moments Problem Based Lessons & UnitsDistrict Math Leaders: Get Your Customized Math Improvement Plan For Your District.Are you a district leader for mathematics?
