Inspiring a Math Culture of Flexibility, Grit, and Belief in Your School: One Rich Task at a Time

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Exemplars.The webinar recording can be accessed here.How can math leaders spark a culture of flexibility, grit, and belief among teachers and students? It starts with a vision, but the true magic happens when that vision comes alive in classrooms every day.In this edWeb podcast, we explore how to move from broad goals to daily reality, with specific strategies for partnering with teachers to build classrooms full of incredible mathematical thinkers—students who relish the opportunity to struggle, persevere, reflect, and explore ideas without fear of being wrong.Danielle Legnard, a former school principal and current college professor turned district math coach, made the bold choice to return to coaching to fuel this cultural shift. Her work is inspiring real change, and she shares the practical moves that are making it happen in this session. A key part of this transformation is helping teachers shift their instincts: to resist rescuing students and instead honor their perseverance, mistakes, and insights.Join us and learn how a belief in effort, exploration, and growth can transform students into powerful, confident mathematicians—one rich task at a time. This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 teachers, school leaders, and district leaders.ExemplarsOur performance material promotes reasoning, communication, and higher-order thinking.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
