147: Beyond the Curriculum - SHAPE-ing Math Success at the School Level
About this episode
Struggling to get your whole school on board with stronger math instruction? You’re not alone!
In this episode, I’m sharing the framework I developed after seeing what actually works to transform school wide math culture — without burning out your teachers.
In this episode, Mona dives into the SHAPE framework — a 5-part approach to building a consistent, student-centered math program across an entire school. You’ll learn:
- Why quick-fix PDs often fail to move the needle
- How to shift teacher mindsets by showing, not telling
- What sustainable, scalable math success really looks like
Whether you're a school leader, math coach, or teacher who wants more clarity, this conversation will leave you feeling energized and ready to take the next step toward meaningful, lasting math change.
