61: My Students Tried to Get Me Fired: A Radical Math Story | Pam Brett

Tales of the Town di Tina Huynh

Note sull'episodio

Pam shares a powerful story of transformation from the front lines of education. When she stepped into a new role teaching eighth-grade math, her students were labeled the worst in the district—and within weeks, they tried to get her fired. But instead of giving up, Pam trusted a gut instinct, threw out the traditional textbooks, and leaned into a new way of teaching that prioritized discussion, exploration, and student voices. What followed was a profound shift—not just in academic engagement, but in classroom culture, student confidence, and human connection. This episode is a must-listen for educators, parents, and anyone who believes in second chances and the power of belief.
