What people are saying
Real, relevant, and useful!
Thank you for this gift.
Relevant and provocative ideas for improving classroom practice!
Refreshing and attainable! Practical
Compassion is the third stool leg along side content and pedagogy in math instruction.
Thank you for treating the audience as experienced adults who want to grow.
Very inspirational and insightful. This session helped me understand and confront my mathematical anxiety and the factors affecting my math identity. I hope to use these strategies in my own future learning and as a maths educator. The session was very engaging and thought provoking and challenged my assumptions about math and what makes a maths person. I especially enjoyed writing the love letter to myself about my math experience and confronting math problems in the future while managing my math anxiety.
Great insights to help students feel more comfortable in the classroom; gave some good ways to think about teaching, assignments, etc to improve equity and inclusiveness in the course
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.
A must attend for anyone committed to teaching and learning at any level.
The session with Geillan facilitates a fresh start on how we should start building an inquiry learning classroom to promote equity.
Thank you! I liked that we shared ideas. Plus Geillan gave great specific ideas.
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.
Loved the cycle of benign neglect it's information that needs to be shine more light on that issue. i really left more inspired and will certainly share this with my mom, who struggles with anxiety in other areas and it's amazing how unstoppable someone can be by motivated intrinsically.
