Moral Obligation in Math Education Why Good Teaching Isn’t Enough
In this passionate and powerful episode of Tier 1 Interventions, Cheri Dotterer and Jonily Zupancic are joined by fellow educators Kirk, Teresa, Kathy, and Natalie for a live conversation on the deeper mission behind math education. This isn't just about teaching content—it's about the moral responsibility to teach it well.
🔥 Hear real stories from teachers and tutors on the frontlines of a broken system, and discover why teaching math the way we were taught just doesn’t cut it anymore.
🎯 Whether you're a new teacher, a math coach, a university instructor, or thinking about leaving the public system to start your own business, this episode will challenge and equip you to rethink math instruction from the inside out.
🧠 BONUS: Stay to the end for a sneak peek into next week’s topic—how storytelling is transforming math from abstract confusion into emotional connection.
💬 Drop your thoughts and experiences in the comments—start the conversation and build the movement because every student deserves to feel like a mathematician.
