DebateMath Podcast

Welcome to the DebateMath Podcast, the show where we’re redefining what it means to debate in mathematics & education, where multiple sides of ideas are explored, evidence matters, and we all grow and learn from hearing each other. We know the world–and our classrooms–are not binary. So we lean into the gray area in our discussions. We invite on guests with differing viewpoints on the way math is taught, and listen in as they debate with each other. Come dig into any debate, where we listen to learn, not to prove someone wrong, but to deepen our understanding.

DebateMath Podcast is a education podcast hosted by Chris Luzniak & Rob Baier, with 79 episodes on record and a Required Pod Score of 80.

  Debate 56 - Should Math Teachers Become Admin?

  Sep 17, 202650 minS5

  Text us your thoughts! Today we debate with administrators! What do you consider the qualities of a good leader? What do you wish administrators thought about more? Or have you ever considered becoming an administrator? Maybe someone has encouraged you to take the leap or you’re considering it on your own. We’ve known very few administrators coming from math education. Why is that? And do math teachers make good administrators? In this episode, we are joined by a pair of school leaders who started as math teachers and are now serving as administrators. We'll ask them about the transition, what they wish teachers understood about the job, and what they see as the biggest challenges facing schools today, as we explore the question: Do Math Teachers Make Good Administrators?
