Manage episode 271944626 series 2741593
This week’s conversation is with Elizabeth Kantner. Kantner is a math teacher who is currently teaching Geometry and PreCalc Honors. This year she is also teaching a section of Economics.
In our conversation, Kantner talks about her time living overseas, both in the Peace Corps teaching multi-leveled classes in Namibia as well as living in Germany. She discusses how she is able to get kids comfortable in making mistakes in math without feeling penalized and celebrating multiple approaches to arrive at the correct solution. She also talks about the importance of using our limited amount of time with students this year to its fullest and really taking the time to build connections with students since everyone is different.
