How To Build Community In Your PLC - A Math Mentoring Moment - a podcast by Kyle Pearce & Jon Orr

Today we speak with Garret Schneider, a middle school math teacher from Indiana. Like many of us, Garret is feeling a little bit like he’s a lone wolf as he continues to seek out ways to elevate his teaching practice while many colleagues continue independently on their own teaching journeys. 

In this Math Mentoring Moment Episode, we will dig into why this lone journey is getting Garret down and how he might be able to work towards developing a professional learning community where all members feel accepted and valued regardless of their teaching philosophy and pedagogical approach.
