Welcome to an education blog dedicated to helping us connect to kids, and to all learners.

We all want kids to learn and to feel inspired. Ask them and they'll tell you: the surefire way to make elevated learning happen is to forge a meaningful human connection with them. Before we can address concepts such as math anxiety or other behavioral/learning/technological challenges we face, our foremost job is to connect to students as people. Then we all flourish.

These posts take a lot of time and effort to produce, thus they are not the most frequent in the history of blog-land. To receive new posts privately and securely to your email as soon as they're live, you're invited to join our mailing list at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!

Let’s get people who don’t love math anymore… to love math again. Let’s face down this lion. This will be my campaign – my mission. Within the posts over the next weeks and months, I’ll dedicate myself to fleshing out all the ways we can resurrect a love of math, especially for those who currently don’t feel it. Within this pursuit,
