About this episode
Tanner Bradshaw stepped into my Student Centered Math Classroom as a student teacher and this is an interview breaking down just excatly what he thought and learned from his experience. Tanner holds nothing back as he expresses what makes Word Problem Workshop different, what he got better at and how he's still growing.
At the end I say, "This is my summative assessment as your mentor teacher"... and it truly is. Come listen in as Tanner and I chat about what he learned about:
- anticipating students' sovling strategies
- creating a classroom community of math
- grappling & productive struggle
- being vunerable as the teacher in order to faciliate
- and so much more!
