Math Teacher - Kathleen Lytle (part 1)

TOPICS OF DISCUSSION: In this episode, I speak with Lytle about why she became a teacher, why she switched from collaborative to lead teacher, what’s the feeling of getting your own classroom, why most students think math is the most boring subject, and what’s the responsibility of the math teacher in terms of making math less boring. WORDS OF WISDOM: “Care about the human condition.” “When it comes to alternative education, take everything you know about teaching and throw it out the window.” “Every teacher should spend some time in the alternative setting because after that you will better understand behavior management.” “We put too much pressure on ourselves as teachers to reach every kid.” “As a teacher, it’s OK for your lesson to fail.”
