58 - Pushing Past Perfectionism - with Lisa Westholder
Show Notes

Embracing mistakes isn’t just for students; we must adopt a growth mindset (ourselves!) in order to model mathematical mindsets for students. That’s the focus of this conversation between two recovering perfectionists, myself and experienced middle school math teacher, Lisa Westholder. Learn how perfectionism shows up in Lisa’s day to day as an educator and why she’s focused on “perfecting” not being perfect – anymore. Finally, hear changes Lisa’s making to prioritize her wellbeing, while remaining committed to her ultimate goal of positively impacting students.
