  Episode 6.09: We talk with Rafael about Change (dot, dot, dot)

  Sep 15, 202632 minS6

  Change is easy to celebrate when it’s an abstract idea. It gets real when it asks us to shift our routines, our relationships, and the way we lead. We start with a lighter spark, Dot Day, and the message behind “The Dot” by Peter H Reynolds: begin with one small mark and see what becomes possible when you focus on process over product. That tiny dot turns into a bigger question for learning and life: what happens when we give ourselves permission to start before we feel ready? From there, we dig into change in math education and within teams. We talk about authentic collaboration, why resistance to change is normal, and how “no resistance” can actually mean missing voices or unspoken concerns. We connect these ideas to the classroom, especially the first days of school, when students are carrying last year’s experiences, relationships, and fears into a new space. Building a culture where students talk, take risks, and think together doesn’t happen by accident, it happens by design.

  Episode 6.8: Join the Leading Together Program for LOTS of Reasons

  Sep 1, 202631 minS6

  Orange. Month. Woman. Purple. We start with No Rhyme Nor Reason Day and tumble into a surprisingly useful question: why do some things resist neat rules, whether it’s language, poetry, or the way change happens in schools? (See what we did there?) It’s light, a little nerdy, and a reminder that sometimes doing something just for the joy of it is reason enough. Then we shift to the work that really matters for educators: instructional coaching that actually moves classroom practice and student learning. John Hayes and Tracy Talmage join us to share Leading Together: A Coaching And Leadership Collaborative, built as a connected, year-long professional learning pathway. Check the link below for dates and registration, share this with a coach or leader who needs stronger support, and please subscribe, leave a review, and tell us what word you still cannot rhyme.

  Episode 6.7: Serendipitous Back to School Ramblings

  Aug 18, 202628 minS6

  Serendipity gets tossed around as a synonym for “surprise,” but we want the real thing: the unexpected moment that actually matters because you notice it, connect it, and do something with it. We kick off on Serendipity Day with stories, definitions, and the funny contradiction of trying to “plan” a happy accident. That curiosity leads us straight into late summer and the start of the school year. We talk school start dates across the US, why some communities hold tight to a post Labor Day calendar, and why other places begin earlier based on climate, local norms, or logistics. From there we take on year-round school, not as 50 weeks of class, but as a different academic calendar with shorter, more frequent breaks. We also wrestle with a bigger idea: could more school days reduce stress if we stop packing every day like a sprint? The heart of the conversation is what a more human school day could look like. If you enjoyed this kind of practical, reflective talk about teaching, learning, and school systems, subscribe, share the episode with an educator friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What’s one change that would make school feel more human? Send Joel and Misty a message! The More Math for More People Podcast is produced by CPM Educational Program.

  Episode 6.6: Have you done a Community Circle in your classroom, yet?

  Aug 4, 202633 minS6

  A circle of chairs can do what a stack of rules never will. We start with a quick National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day warm-up, then we get into a practical, teacher-tested approach to building real classroom community: community circles. We’re joined by Danielle Boggs and Laura Bain from our professional learning team to break down what community circles are and why they’re considered a restorative practice. We talk about the power of the physical circle for reducing classroom power dynamics, how a simple talking piece protects student voice, and why random seating can make circles feel more equitable. If you’ve been looking for social emotional learning routines that don’t feel forced, this conversation gives you clear moves you can try immediately. If you’re curious about improving classroom culture, strengthening relationships, and creating psychological safety that supports learning, press play. Subscribe, share this with a colleague, and leave a review, then tell us: what question would you ask in your first community circle? Send Joel and Misty a message!

  Episode 6.5: How do you picture taking a monkey to lunch?

  Jul 21, 202646 minS6

  An AI voice answers the phone, sounds friendly, and almost passes as human. For a moment it feels convenient, even a little magical, and then something shifts and you realize you’re craving a real person. That tension, between efficiency and human connection, drives our conversation as we explore what AI tools can do well, what they cannot do at all, and why “human review” is quickly becoming a non-negotiable habit. What’s your personal “tell” that you’re talking to AI and not a human? Also, it's Take a Monkey to Lunch Day!!! What in the world? We're very curious. If you imagine taking a monkey to lunch... Do it now... What do you imagine it would look like? Let us know! Subscribe for more conversations about math learning, teaching, and thoughtful technology, and if this one sparked a reaction, share it with a colleague and leave us a review.
