Teaching as a True Profession

From Math for America, Lab Out Loud welcomes John Ewing (President) and Megan Roberts (Executive Director) to the show. With a goal of making teaching a viable, rewarding and respected career, MƒA provides a mechanism that encourages professional STEM educators to engage in their subject matter while working in a collaborative and supportive environment. In practice, MƒA's fellowship program engages New York City teachers to engage in professional growth within a professional community that receives professional recognition. John and Megan join co-hosts Brian Bartel and Dale Basler to discuss the success of the Math for America model, how it can be replicated across the nation, and emphasize the importance of teaching as a true profession.
