Episode 4.16: It’s the mid-year - here’s some tips!

First, it's Nobel Prize day so we discuss the legacy of the Nobel Prizes, a testament to Alfred Nobel's vision of celebrating human achievement across disciplines like physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace. Ever wondered why mathematics didn't make the cut? Join us as we uncover these insights and reminisce about the nostalgia of encyclopedia collections, a reminder of how far we've come in the quest for knowledge.

As the school year hits its mid-point, we gather wisdom from educators on the CPM Professional Learning Team. Danielle from Illinois emphasizes the transformative power of student feedback, while Jessie from Wisconsin shares tips on self-care and nurturing professional relationships. Jeremiah and Nicole from Minnesota both stress the importance of adaptability, whether through reflecting on teaching strategies or reassessing class agreements with tools like Google Forms. 

We also revisit a revealing conversation with Wendy Phillips, a seasoned math educator, who offers strategies to spark intrinsic motivation in study teams, ensuring meaningful student engagement. With Wendy we delve into creating dynamic math classrooms with effective teamwork and positive learning environments. We discuss the role of class norms and team responsibilities in fostering collaboration.
