29m · Get More Math Podcast · 20 Apr 21:00

This episode is from the perspective of a high school administrator, Ed Pelfrey. Like all of us, Mr. Pelfrey has never had to quickly create a distance learning system before. In his interview with Josh, Mr. Pelfrey shares with us how his students were set up to succeed in distance learning because of the initiatives set in place before COVID-19 and how he is supporting teachers as they connect with their students.

In this episode we discuss how Mr. Pelfry is: 

  • setting enrichment expectations for what the students have already learned
  • committed to maintaining a positive mindset shift with students and faculty
  • how they leverage positive behavior reward at his school
