  • Overcoming the Tracking Hurdle in High School Mathematics with Steve Leinwand

    Overcoming the Tracking Hurdle in High School Mathematics with Steve Leinwand
    Jan 27 2022

    Steve Leinwand is a principal researcher at the American Institute for Research and a renowned math education change agent with a contagious enthusiasm for what IS possible in mathematics.

    He joins Tim and Karen for an informative and powerful discussion around rethinking the traditional math trajectory in high school mathematics. Steve discusses the focus of his and Eric Milou’s new book, Invigorating High School Math: Practical Guidance for Long Overdue Transformation, which provides a guide for ‘detracking’ math education in order to provide more opportunities and relevant course pathways for all students.

    When you finish this episode you will have new insights into why sorting students in mathematics is NOT a good thing and a passion to help change it!

  • AP Programs: Making Access for All Students A Priority with Dr. Greg Hessee

    AP Programs: Making Access for All Students A Priority with Dr. Greg Hessee
    Dec 16 2021

    Karen and Tim speak to Dr. Greg Hessee. Greg shares perspectives on the current state of AP courses and the issues around access to AP opportunities for all students, not just a select few. Selection and placement into AP courses has been historically racist, and Greg discusses initiatives and ways to make access to AP courses more equitable and prevalent in schools and how to help schools and districts build a more robust AP program. He is currently a teacher at the same school as Tim, Colegio Nueva Granada in Bogota, Columbia, where he is also the Advanced Placement (AP) coordinator. Greg is an English teacher as well as the AP coordinator, was formerly the Program Director of the Colorado Legacy Schools Initiative, and has been a teacher and school leader in urban schools throughout the U.S., including New York, Austin, and Denver.

  • Lessons from Abroad - Expats in EDU with Corey Andreasen

    Lessons from Abroad - Expats in EDU with Corey Andreasen
    Jul 22 2021
    Corey is a leader in the mathematics and statistics education communities nationwide. He has consulted and served as a writer on two AP statistics textbooks and written supplemental classroom materials for statistics teachers. Furthermore, Corey has facilitated workshops for mathematics teachers on a variety of topics, including Common Core workshops on modeling with probability and statistics. He has also served on the Board of Directors of the Wisconsin Mathematics Council and on committees at the state and national levels. Corey has been teaching mathematics for more than 20 years. Many of those have been at North High School in Sheboygan, WI but he now teaches at the American School of the Hague. He has taught many grade levels and courses but he believes he would confess he has a soft spot for teaching AP Statistics. Corey shares his journey to becoming an expat and gives some insight into teaching in other countries as well as some tips for those who might be considering a similar career path. We hear how Corey came to the decision to move to another country to teach, and his different experiences in Qatar and the Netherlands. This includes teaching elementary for the first time, dealing with cultural differences, and different curriculums, resources and expectations. The journey includes trying to find positions for both a music and math teacher at the same time, and how connections and job fairs play such a role in finding international teaching jobs. Listen and learn more about Corey’s international experiences, as well as Tim’s, and get some good teaching tips and strategies along the way!
