Let’s talk. Send me a message with your email and I’ll get back to you!

In this exciting episode of The Modern Math Teacher, we dive into some of the most debated topics in math education with Juliana Tapper, author of the upcoming book Teaching 6-12 Math Intervention. Juliana shares her insights on when direct instruction is not just effective—but essential--yup you heard that right!—for struggling students. We also tackle the controversial practice of cold calling, how it can actually boost engagement, and why it’s misunderstood in today’s classrooms.

🔑Key Topics Covered:

  • When Direct Instruction Works Best: Find out why it’s sometimes the most effective strategy, especially in intervention settings.
  • Cold Calling: Breaking the stigma and discussing how this strategy can empower students rather than scare them.
  • Engaging Struggling Students: Proven strategies from Julianna’s and my experiences that bring disengaged learners back into the fold.
  • Juliana’s New Book 📕: A sneak peek into Teaching 6-12 Math Intervention: A Practical Framework to Engage Students who Struggle and what educators can expect.

⭐️Top Take Aways:

  • Discover actionable tips on balancing direct instruction with more open-ended approaches.
  • Learn how to effectively use cold calling in a supportive and engaging way.
  • Strategies for helping students who feel “left behind” regain confidence in math.

Resources Mentioned:

  • 📕Juliana's New book:
