Agency: Rethinking Math Through Voice, Choice, and Relevance With North Penn SD
Episode 2
Tuesday, 30 September, 2025
Send us a textWhat does real engagement look like in a math classroom—and how do we build it without losing rigor or pace? We sit down with North Penn’s secondary math coaches, Melinda Lyon and Rebecca Rousseau, to unpack practical strategies that put student voice, collaboration, and authentic problem solving at the center of learning. We dive into the balancing act of agency and accountability, exploring how to honor standards and state tests while still offering choice and relevance. You’ll hear how UDL-informed structures let students select pathways based on quick self-assessments, how station rotations can blend mini-lessons with targeted practice, and why building a “toolbox” of routines equips teachers to respond to the class they actually have that day. If you’re ready to make math feel alive, this conversation offers concrete steps you can try tomorrow. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and tell us: what’s one strategy you’ll test in your next lesson?
