What people are saying
Thank you for this gift.
In teaching math, it's just as important to recognize the feelings and associations someone might have with a topic as the actual content that you'll be covering. Acknowledge and affirm the bad and harness the good.
It was so informative session and i was surprised how Geillan kept my attention for whole 2 hrs!! And i’m so happy that someone pronounced my name correctly 😁✨
We discussed belonging in much broader sense than I expected, and it was wonderful and deeply thought provoking and emotionally hard but excellent.
Real, relevant, and useful!
I would explain that this session is very valuable to connecting with others who have had ‘bad’ math experiences which makes you feel more supported in similar experiences as well as giving good tips for future math classes
I really enjoyed this session by Geillan Aly. It was very informative and engaging, and it gave me a fresh perspective on how I approach teaching. The session was eye-opening because it introduced me to new techniques and strategies that I can use to make my classes more interactive and student-centered. I left feeling inspired and motivated to try these ideas with my students to improve their learning experience and help them stay actively involved.
Finally something that’s attainable!
It was a very inspiring session and it is as well a motivational one, as now you think you can actually be successful in math.
A reminder of every student's humanity. As a teacher, I forget that my students are struggling not because they don't try, but because they have a lot going on in their brains. To reach them, I need to think about their emotional well-being first.
Beautifully paced, kind, supportive and connected to truths
Thank you! This is the hard HEART work. I appreciate your message and passion for keeping equity, social justice, and access at the forefront! <3
Just naming beliefs and spending time reflecting really opened my eyes to what could be possible.
Engaging and interactive activities that were insightful and able to be understood by all through explanation and support.
