How Can I Help My Colleagues Slow Down? - A Math Mentoring Moment

This week we speak with Rose Piso, an elementary interventionist teacher from Seneca Valley. Rose is dedicated to helping her students feel confident, accomplished, and proud. Rose also knows that there are topics and strands that we teachers should spend more time developing conceptually with our students rather than simply showing students an algorithm and moving on.

How can Rose help the teachers she works alongside with recognizing the importance of teaching developmentally? What strategies and structures can she put in place to strengthen her whole school’s math program? Stick around and find out.

This is another Math Mentoring Moment Episode where we speak with a member of the math moment maker community where together we brainstorm strategies and next steps for teachers to overcome pebbles they have in their shoe.

You’ll Learn:

• What PD structures can a teacher implement without the support of administration?
• How can a teacher influence their peers without stepping on toes?
• What are the most important big ideas to focus on when teaching mathematics?
