Dear Educator,What if the question that transforms your entire approach to teaching isn’t “What am I teaching?”—but “Who am I teaching for?”In this episode, we center a powerful truth: when we design our lessons for the margins, we don’t lose anyone—we reach everyone. Imagine yourself standing at the center of a circle. If your reach extends all the way to the edge, then everything in between is included. That’s the power of intentional design.We explore:What it looks and sounds like to reach the margins—through planning, anticipating, assessing, and adaptingWhy proximity, movement, and visibility are just as critical as contentHow our teacher moves, student seating, feedback loops, and room scans can be small shifts with big impactA grounding reminder that learning is change in long-term memory, and real learning requires consolidation and transferThis episode is both a challenge and an invitation: to move intentionally, plan methodically, and teach with your full radius in mind. Because when we teach from the center outward with care, clarity, and strategy—every learner gets what they need.💡 Download the Season 2 Listening Companion + Journal Coloring Book to reflect and act as you listen.🎧 And remember: Starting August 1, this podcast becomes Make Math Happen, a name that’s clearer, bolder, and a constant reminder to act on behalf of our students.Let’s go make it happen.With care,LaneshiaSend us a textThanks for tuning in to this episode of the Make Math Happen podcast!
