Why math instruction can cause inequity and teacher burnout

Does this sound familiar? “I did well in math; but, never really understood what I was doing!” Learning requires evidence of thinking and learners deserve feedback on their thinking that moves them forward.

Many technologies are missing the mark on spurring student thinking to elicit more learning. Join Tim Hudson, PhD to dive into why he feels we have an underlying pedagogy problem in mathematics and the difference between “learning experience” and “instruction”.
