Join me in welcoming Mona Iehl to the podcast for an inspiring conversation about creating a strong student-centered community of mathematicians who take risks and value the process over the product. Mona is a teacher and instructional coach in Chicago, IL who is passionate about helping students be leaders of their own learning through creating safe classroom communities that help students feel motivated & engaged while also learning to self advocate & take risks.
