Episode 47 - Innovate Inside the Box

Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 47.  Today we are looking at how to Innovate Inside the Box. So I’ve started reading a new book and there is so much goodness in this book it was really hard to decide what part to share with you today. Innovate Inside the Box: Empowering Learners Through UDL and the Innovator's Mindset by George Couros and Katie Novak is one of those books that makes you think and reflect upon your teaching but it also gives you practical ideas on how to change your teaching.  Get all the info here: buildmathminds.com/47

Om Podcasten

The Build Math Minds podcast is for my fellow Recovering Traditionalists out there. If you don’t know whether or not you are a Recovering Traditionalist, here’s how I define us. We are math educators who used to teach math the traditional way. Flip lesson by lesson in the textbook, directly teaching step-by-step how to solve math problems. But now, we are working to change that to a style of teaching math that is fun and meets our students where they are at, not just teaching what comes next in the textbook. We want to encourage our students to be thinkers, problem solvers, and lovers of mathematics..we are wanting to build our students math minds and not just create calculators. If that is you, then this podcast is for you.
