Experimentation with Dana Vera

In Episode 6, Dana Vera, a high school math teacher at Prospect Hill Academy Charter School in Somerville, shares her path to teaching, her approaches to teaching math as art and providing actionable feedback to students, and how the imposter syndrome gets in the way of teachers sharing their expertise.  She explores the double-edged sword of perfectionism and shares examples of fostering a love for mathematics among her students as they interpret their world. Dana also asks host Brad Clark, the Manager of Teacher Engagement at The Teacher Collaborative, about co-designing professional learning with teachers versus designing professional development for teachers.
