In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Amy Buchheit, an instructional coach from the Chicago area. In our chat, Amy discusses her current mathematics leader pebble related to creating measurable professional development (PD) goals in mathematics that can truly shift teacher practice and in turn, increase student achievement.
One of the speed bumps educators face in implementing the professional learning they have engaged with is finding the time to do it well. Stick with us as we share practical strategies to address this common issue and much more.
If you're a mathematics leader looking to find ways to deepen the implementation of the professional development practices you’ve been focusing on, tune in to hear what was shared and learned through this conversation with Amy.
This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we chat with a teacher like you who is working through some problems of practice and together we brainstorm ways to overcome them.
