From Failing Lessons to Award-Winning Lessons - S2 Ep2

I remember the time when I had a lesson that was a total disaster, even though I had hoped to impress some important folks from the State. Needless to say, it didn't go as planned, and I felt like I let everyone down, including my principal, who reminded me that my job was at stake. I was really down on myself because I knew I could do better.

But instead of giving up, I picked myself up and decided to plan a lesson that was engaging, collaborative, and centered on deep understanding of mathematical concepts. That lesson turned out to be a huge success, earning me National Boards and even making me a finalist for The Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching  (PAEMST).

I want to encourage you that even when things seem to be going wrong, you can always bounce back. Don't let a setback define you. Instead, choose to learn from it and move forward. I like to call those moments "unanticipated results" because they can actually lead to greater success if you're willing to keep trying. So get back up and keep going!

I would love to hear from you.  Please feel free to reach out [email protected]
