What people are saying
Good introduction to why creating a compassionate classroom is valuable and effective as a teaching practice.
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
The session in IBL is very informative and it provides actionable items that we could apply and bring with us in our classroom settings. Thank you for sharing your expertise; much appreciated!
It was very related to problems I thought happened to just me but I learned how relevant it is to everyone else. It shows the reason behind why math seems scary and helps work through it.
Refreshing and attainable! Practical
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 😁✨
Thank you for treating the audience as experienced adults who want to grow.
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
A great introduction to thinking about classroom norms and putting our beliefs into practice.
Applicable to daily teaching and realistic with helping students persevere. Geillan was approachable, easy to talk to, and more than willing to offer suggestions and advice!
Just naming beliefs and spending time reflecting really opened my eyes to what could be possible.
Compassion is the third stool leg along side content and pedagogy in math instruction.
I feel 10x better about math walking out of this room than when I first walked in!
One of the more enjoyable workshops I’ve attended in years.
