What Are Your Rocks? Discover What Matters Most! - a podcast by Kyle Pearce & Jon Orr

Are you on track to hit the goals you set out for yourself, your school, your district? It’s December, which often marks the half-way point of the school year and also a great time to check your progress on your program’s action plan. 

It’s quite likely that the busy-ness of school has taken you away from your intended focus on what really matters in your school or district’s math program. 

In this episode Kyle and Jon share why we need to define our objectives (Rocks) and how to stay focused when there are so many distractions that seem urgent so that when the end of the year comes we can look back to our progress and know that we’re moving toward our targets.

You’ll Learn: 

• Why we need to define what our “rocks” are and what matters most in our math programs;
• How to know when you’re focussing on the wrong things; 
•  What we can do today to pivot and focus on the right things in our math classrooms; 
• Why the biggest thing is to make the biggest thing the biggest thing.
