Monday, October 16, 2023: Sarah Strong: Dear Math
In this Teacher Talk, we will explore math identity development through student storytelling in "Dear Math: Designing Classrooms With Student Voice at the Center" letters. We will start with some of our own storytelling before taking a deep dive into student words and research-backed routines that center student voice. Prepare to have fun, think hard, and re-imagine math classrooms (and all classrooms!) where student brilliance can truly shine!

Monday April 17, 2023: Lara Dickens: School Involvement: From Aquaponics to Thrift Stores
Lara Dickens has been teaching AP environmental science and physics at Patrick Henry High School for over 22 years. She created Henry's student run thrift store, which has been featured on Inside California Education. Students helped create a 600-gallon aquaponics system that acted as a sustainable food source lesson and a mental health koi fish retreat space. Students are currently working vermiculture and other green waste management practices into the normal school-wide behaviors of staff and students. Come hear Lara as she shares her ideas on ways to incorporate these ideas into any class or school setting.
