Today we bring on Laura Tomas for a record third appearance. Laura has been an educator for 31 years, she’s a math coach and fellow podcast host from Palm Beach Florida.

Laura chats with us today about providing support during the pandemic, why school leaders and coaches need to step into a teaching role on a regular basis, how to build a mentor/mentee relationship without pushing too hard, and how we can best support teachers when the standards shift or change.

This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we talk with a member of the Math Moment Maker Community who is working through problems of practice and together we brainstorm possible next steps and strategies to overcome them.

You’ll Learn:

• How we can best support teachers when the standards shift/change;
• How to build mentor/mentee relationships without pushing too hard, too fast;
• Why school leaders should step into teaching roles on a regular basis; and,
• How you can use “green sheets” as a means to build relationships by offering value to classroom teachers.
