Send us a textIn this inspiring episode, I sit down with Jess, an experienced and passionate maths teacher, to unpack her 13-year journey in education. From helping out in her mum’s primary school classrooms to now leading the junior maths program at a large Auckland secondary school, Jess offers valuable insights into her evolution as an educator. She shares how her background in science eventually led her to teaching, and how an unexpected practicum experience accelerated her development. We delve into the challenges and rewards of curriculum leadership, her approach to supporting students with maths anxiety, and the importance of building a confident, inclusive classroom culture. Jess also reflects on the power of mentorship, the benefits of collaboration, and why she believes progress should be celebrated just as much as performance. Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or just someone curious about what really goes on behind the classroom door, this episode is packed with relatable stories, practical wisdom, and a whole lot of heart. Hosted by Debbie RossFind us on Instagram & Facebook: @nurturingeducators For more information, guest recommendations, and sponsorship opportunities or to chat, please email: [email protected] or visit www.nurturingeducators.co.nz Thanks for listening!
