Experience, Not Theory
My drive has always been rooted in helping math teachers because when teachers feel confident, students feel possible.
​
If you have ever second guessed your instruction, avoided the “why” in a lesson, or felt the pressure to just get through it, then you have lived the stories I tell out loud. I speak to the heart of math education: teacher efficacy, instructional equity, and what it really means to grow in this work.
