Karen and Tim speak to Dr. Greg Hessee. Greg shares perspectives on the current state of AP courses and the issues around access to AP opportunities for all students, not just a select few. Selection and placement into AP courses has been historically racist, and Greg discusses initiatives and ways to make access to AP courses more equitable and prevalent in schools and how to help schools and districts build a more robust AP program. He is currently a teacher at the same school as Tim, Colegio Nueva Granada in Bogota, Columbia, where he is also the Advanced Placement (AP) coordinator. Greg is an English teacher as well as the AP coordinator, was formerly the Program Director of the Colorado Legacy Schools Initiative, and has been a teacher and school leader in urban schools throughout the U.S., including New York, Austin, and Denver.

Corey is a leader in the mathematics and statistics education communities nationwide. He has consulted and served as a writer on two AP statistics textbooks and written supplemental classroom materials for statistics teachers. Furthermore, Corey has facilitated workshops for mathematics teachers on a variety of topics, including Common Core workshops on modeling with probability and statistics. He has also served on the Board of Directors of the Wisconsin Mathematics Council and on committees at the state and national levels. Corey has been teaching mathematics for more than 20 years. Many of those have been at North High School in Sheboygan, WI but he now teaches at the American School of the Hague. He has taught many grade levels and courses but he believes he would confess he has a soft spot for teaching AP Statistics. Corey shares his journey to becoming an expat and gives some insight into teaching in other countries as well as some tips for those who might be considering a similar career path. We hear how Corey came to the decision to move to another country to teach, and his different experiences in Qatar and the Netherlands. This includes teaching elementary for the first time, dealing with cultural differences, and different curriculums, resources and expectations. The journey includes trying to find positions for both a music and math teacher at the same time, and how connections and job fairs play such a role in finding international teaching jobs. Listen and learn more about Corey’s international experiences, as well as Tim’s, and get some good teaching tips and strategies along the way!

Katie Isaak Ginsberg is a parent and advocate for environmental literacy, which led her to found the Children’s Environmental Literacy Foundation(CELF), where she serves as the Executive Director and Chair Emeritus. She saw the need to educate students about the links between human health, poverty, consumption, conflict and the environment. After extensive research, she combined her background in design, management marketing, and business development to create a foundation that brings the best practices in sustainability education to K-12 educators and schools. Ms. Ginsberg speaks and provides seminars and conferences on sustainability and re-orienting education through place-based and project-based education, and, as part of her work, was a featured presenter at the 2013 Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting.

Ms. Ginsberg shares her reasons for founding CELF in 2003, and how that work has influenced policy and curriculum in the schools and districts. She shares case studies and the importance of communities working together to really help focus on environmental sustainability. Her foundation's work with schools is designed to support teachers where they are, using their own curriculum and standards, but changing the lens to focus on how you can incorporate sustainability concepts into what is already being taught.

Dr. Tabitha Dell’Angelo is a professor, storyteller, playwright, mother, and potential school board member. She holds a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Studies in Human Development from the University of Pennsylvania and is currently a professor at The College of New Jersey, in addition to her work as an improvisational acting teacher at Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, PA.

Tabitha shares her arts-based research approach as a way of communicating findings, through plays and comics. She launched the Urban Education Program at The College of New Jersey, which is focused on recognizing and responding to conditions that contribute to inequalities in schools. Through first-hand experience, she talks through teacher education and preparing pre-service teachers for the reality of teaching, particularly in high-needs urban districts. She shares her ideas on what areas of education need to be completely overhauled, and her journey to running for her local School Board. Tabitha’s experience of the political process—the stress of running for the first time, the vulnerability of going door-to-door to ask strangers(potential voters) for money, trying to be bipartisan in a very partisan time—offers us a behind the scenes look into processes that guide what teachers in a district’s classrooms can do.

Patrick Vennebush is the Chief Learning Officer for The Math Learning Center, where he oversees the areas of Educator Support, Educator Resources, and Development. Patrick shares his expertise in mathematics and developing a high-quality education curriculum. He talks about how professors and education experiences framed his outlook and trajectory for teaching - including his methods, his approach to learning and how teaching SHOULD be. This led him on the educational trajectory working for several educational companies that all have the same philosophy and approach to teaching.

Patrick talks in-depth about what a ‘good curriculum’ is and why it’s so important for teachers to have a good curriculum that “provides the impotence for great lessons even if it can’t provide everything that the teacher needs”. He discusses the team effort behind creating educational resources that are consistent and aligned and compares these to open-education resources. He shares ‘the joy, the wonder, and the beauty of mathematics” that comes from working hands-on with learning.
