Ep 30 - Still Here

In this episode, Kyle, Maegan, and Dean pick up where they left off. Maegan shares her experience teaching EMTH 300, where working with soon-to-be teachers brought math trauma and misconceptions to the surface. Dean reflects on how reframing estimation as prediction has shifted his students' willingness to take risks in the classroom, while Kyle shares where his thinking on assessment and navigation instruments has been heading. Together, the three dig into the vulnerability required to genuinely change your practice, the messy reality that it's going to hurt before it feels good, and why the relationship a teacher has with math might matter just as much as what they know about it. Tune in for a wide-ranging conversation about identity, risk-taking, and what it really means to be a math teacher.
