As a high school math teacher, I made a promise to myself that I would always uplift and encourage my students when they struggle. I’d remind them that math is a process and learning is a part of the fun.

As I moved into coaching and leadership roles, I was intentional to bring these practices to the forefront of my teachers and leaders minds.
