In this episode from Amplify's Beyond My Years podcast, host Ana Torres interviews Fawn Nguyen, Director of STEM Initiatives at Amplify. A 30-year middle school math teacher and K–8 math coach before she joined Amplify, Fawn shares practical strategies for teaching math in a way that values multiple solutions and makes every student feel like they belong. Fawn breaks down the routines that open math up to every learner and explains why stepping back to let students do the thinking is one of the most powerful moves a teacher can make. Then, Beyond My Years Classroom Insider and middle school science teacher Eric Cross joins Ana to reflect on why "I'm not good at math" is usually a scar with a story behind it.
