True mathematical understanding goes beyond memorizing formulas or following step by step instructions. It involves grasping the why behind the process. Returning to our Getting to Know US series one Math teacher has a gift for teaching the lie and relating to our students. Hosted by Dr. Brad Schultz and Amanda Price, this is Mustangs. I'm not teaching. Complex math processes involve breaking down intricate concepts into manageable steps students can understand and build up.

00;00;39;21 - 00;00;47;15
Speaker 1
A good math teacher explains how to solve the problem. But a great math teacher helps students understand why the process is work.

00;00;47;17 - 00;01;03;13
Speaker 2
Sidney Sheppard is in her seventh year of teaching high school math with the last two at Lipscomb Academy. In her short time here, she has already amassed a huge following of students who admire her for her patient teaching style and ability to connect relationally with them.

00;01;03;16 - 00;01;04;20
Speaker 1
Welcome, Sidney.

00;01;04;23 - 00;01;06;23
Speaker 3
Thank you. Thank you for having me.

00;01;06;26 - 00;01;16;28
Speaker 1
Okay. I'm going to start with the most important question. Okay. Okay. How did a Georgia girl end up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama?

00;01;17;00 - 00;01;38;05
Speaker 3
So I always try to tell my students not to put all of their eggs in one basket. Going through the college decision process, I wanted to be sure that I had a number of different schools that I thought could be a good fit for me. So I had one school that was my reach. I had multiple schools that were definitely well within my reach.

00;01;38;05 - 00;01;58;27
Speaker 3
And then I had one school that was kind of a safety net that if absolutely nothing else worked out, that I could make sure that I got into that school. So that's kind of a model that I try to teach to the students when they are applying to colleges. But that was kind of what opened me up to looking at Alabama.

00;01;58;29 - 00;02;24;08
Speaker 3
That was one of my in my like in my comfort zone schools. Then there was UGA and there was Auburn. UGA was in-state and so I didn't want to stay in the same state with all of my friends and be too close to everybody. So I wanted to get definitely out of that. My reach was Yale and I got in, but they didn't give me any money.

00;02;24;12 - 00;02;32;27
Speaker 3
So it was definitely another variable that was scholarships. And Alabama gave me a full ride. So that's where I landed.

00;02;33;03 - 00;02;36;23
Speaker 1
Well, that's nice. So how do you feel about the new football coach?

00;02;36;25 - 00;03;00;23
Speaker 3
I like him. I like him. You know, I think that it's tough following in somebody else's trying to fill the shoes that Nick Saban and the Bear Bryant's and not like. We have a great legacy at Alabama. So I think that it's important to give people grace and to know that, you know, he's working hard, the guys are working hard, and in due time, they're going to rebuild for sure.

00;03;00;29 - 00;03;19;10
Speaker 1
So I don't know if you know this, but Noelle Hicks is a huge Alabama fan. Yes. And he said to me, you never want to be the guy after the guy. And I had to ask him, like, what does that mean? He goes, Nobody wants to follow Saban. So that's what you were just saying is give him some mercy.

00;03;19;11 - 00;03;28;04
Speaker 1
Yeah. How do you feel about the addition of Oklahoma and Texas into the SEC this year? Oh, me too. I see the face.

00;03;28;10 - 00;03;33;17
Speaker 3
I have too strong of opinions. I haven't really been keeping track of it, but I'm not too mad of it. I'm not.

00;03;33;20 - 00;03;38;18
Speaker 1
Well, did you watch that Georgia, Georgia, Alabama game this year? How did you feel about that?

00;03;38;21 - 00;03;44;22
Speaker 3
You know, Alabama out of sheer Alabama had a tough one. I think it was Alabama Vanderbilt game that hurt me the most.

00;03;44;22 - 00;03;46;13
Speaker 1
That went down, hurt and hurt everybody.

00;03;46;14 - 00;03;47;07
Speaker 3
Fans gave me a.

00;03;47;07 - 00;03;50;13
Speaker 4
Lot a lot.

00;03;50;15 - 00;04;04;18
Speaker 2
So when we're kids, we always say we're going to be this or that. A policeman, a fireman. When I was a kid, I want to be a paleontologist. And what did you want to be when you grew up? A basketball player?

00;04;04;21 - 00;04;06;10
Speaker 1
I wanted to be married to Michael J. Fox.

00;04;06;16 - 00;04;09;14
Speaker 2
So there you go. So picture.

00;04;09;14 - 00;04;10;05
Speaker 1
Yourself.

00;04;10;05 - 00;04;13;00
Speaker 4
I hear I hear you say it.

00;04;13;01 - 00;04;13;24
Speaker 1
I can't reach.

00;04;13;24 - 00;04;14;27
Speaker 4
That.

00;04;15;00 - 00;04;26;24
Speaker 2
Well, you probably didn't know that when you were eight. So, Sidney, when you were if we went back and found you when you were eight and would have asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up, what would the eight year old version of you have said?

00;04;26;27 - 00;04;49;04
Speaker 3
Surprisingly, she would have said she wanted to be a teacher, either a teacher or a veterinarian. But I do. There are pictures from my childhood of me like setting up all of my stuffed animals in my playroom and giving them different worksheets and teaching them how to do handwriting. And I've always enjoyed pretending to be a teacher and setting up my classroom.

00;04;49;04 - 00;05;15;14
Speaker 3
And so I admit I wasn't drawn to the profession as I got older just because I think that I'm a STEM person, math and science. And so I think I was pushed towards the higher paying jobs, engineering, something that could support me financially in college. But when I got to college, I realized that that wasn't something that I enjoyed at all.

00;05;15;14 - 00;05;29;10
Speaker 3
I enjoy helping other people make connections to what I already know. So I took a personality test and that's how they helped me get back into teaching. My heart, I guess, has always been.

00;05;29;12 - 00;05;34;01
Speaker 2
And I think those two professions probably have a lot of similarities between a vet and a teacher.

00;05;34;02 - 00;05;39;26
Speaker 3
Yes.

00;05;39;28 - 00;05;41;22
Speaker 3
I always like the animals, but those.

00;05;41;28 - 00;05;42;07
Speaker 1
Herding.

00;05;42;07 - 00;05;43;03
Speaker 4
Cats, I.

00;05;43;05 - 00;05;48;08
Speaker 2
Just say they're making use their imagination.

00;05;48;11 - 00;05;49;22
Speaker 4
Oh, my goodness.

00;05;49;24 - 00;06;00;06
Speaker 2
So we referenced earlier that we hear students praising you as a teacher. What do you think it is about your approach that really allows them to connect to you?

00;06;00;09 - 00;06;30;18
Speaker 3
I try to be authentic, whatever that may look like. I'm not going to fake it. I try to make the lesson lessons meaningful, but I'm not going to give them busywork just to say that I did that. And if they asked me a question of Where am I going to ever use this, I'll be honest and tell them, you might not use this if you don't go on to become, you know, an architect or a doctor when they say things that are genuinely funny, I'll I'll laugh at them, but we're all laugh with them.

00;06;30;24 - 00;06;55;17
Speaker 3
But I think there are times when my personality shows up and I don't try to hide it. And so when the kids see me as a full human, the moments when I show them that I care about them, they feel like I'm being honest. They can take that and feel like she actually cares about me because she's shown me her genuine happiness.

00;06;55;17 - 00;07;02;03
Speaker 3
She's shown her genuine disappointment in me. She's shown her laughter. And so, yeah.

00;07;02;06 - 00;07;28;24
Speaker 2
So my favorite teacher was my sixth grade teacher, Mr. James, and he had a lot of really cool tricks that kept us engaged and tricked us into learning and those types of things. And I found myself implementing a lot of those in the my classrooms are there are some things or tricks that you use, whether you borrowed them from former teachers or you learn them in school that you use to make math, you know, fun for the majority of kids in your class.

00;07;28;27 - 00;07;34;23
Speaker 3
Nothing wrong with a good song. There are always songs that help students remember different formulas.

00;07;34;24 - 00;07;36;07
Speaker 1
And you're going to do one for us right now?

00;07;36;14 - 00;07;37;01
Speaker 3
I don't know.

00;07;37;05 - 00;07;38;17
Speaker 1
Give it to us. Come on.

00;07;38;19 - 00;07;45;26
Speaker 3
Pop goes. The weasel is one for quadratic formula. Negative B plus or minus for screw. I can't sing on this podcast.

00;07;45;26 - 00;07;48;20
Speaker 1
Brad loves to sing the both. Y'all can do it together.

00;07;48;26 - 00;07;51;08
Speaker 4
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know the words.

00;07;51;11 - 00;08;10;26
Speaker 3
It's a they get in, they get into the little songs. They like making videos of their selves, recording the songs or things like that. But I try to use the energy that they already have in the room. If they're really talkative and really energetic, I'll try to arrange them into groups or give them opportunities to turn and talk to each other.

00;08;10;26 - 00;08;25;02
Speaker 3
But if their energy is really low and they're just kind of giving me kind of nothing, then we'll do a worksheet, will do something kind of more silent, more independent. But I kind of just try to read them The room.

00;08;25;05 - 00;08;54;09
Speaker 1
All right. So you mentioned you're a STEM person and you kind of gravitate toward that. So I thought I was a STEM person. And so that's what my major was in college for the first two years. So I ended up with a double minor, one of them being biology. But then my major was English just because I felt more at home with with words, with rational words that I could understand.

00;08;54;11 - 00;08;54;23
Speaker 4
Like.

00;08;54;29 - 00;09;16;05
Speaker 1
Theorems. So I'm just wondering, you know, we all have we have interest outside of the classroom. So tell me, what are your passions besides math? How what are your outlets? How do you how do you get outside? Pop goes the weasel.

00;09;16;08 - 00;09;41;01
Speaker 3
I I'm very type A, I pay attention to little, little small details. So I enjoy the activities that stress decompress me puzzles, Legos, movies hanging out outside I like in I like arts and crafts. I like running, running is my exercise of choice. Definitely. I used to run track in high school.

00;09;41;03 - 00;09;42;26
Speaker 4
But yeah.

00;09;42;29 - 00;09;46;28
Speaker 1
Just. I don't think I heard you say anything about TV or movies.

00;09;47;05 - 00;09;48;07
Speaker 3
I do watch movies.

00;09;48;07 - 00;09;52;00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Okay. What type of movies do you have? A special kind?

00;09;52;02 - 00;10;12;03
Speaker 3
Yes, I like more suspenseful movies. Ones maybe sometimes could be thriller ones that keep me kind of on the edge of my seat where I don't ever know what's happening next. If it gets too predictable or I can predict what will happen next. No matter if it's a romantic movie or an action movie, that's when I start to get bored.

00;10;12;03 - 00;10;17;12
Speaker 3
It has to keep me. There has to be twists throughout the story.

00;10;17;15 - 00;10;24;05
Speaker 2
So you mentioned you ran track in high school. We also heard that there is a new middle school track coach.

00;10;24;08 - 00;10;24;28
Speaker 1
Yes.

00;10;25;00 - 00;10;28;04
Speaker 2
Well, first of all, you think you're okay with people calling you coach?

00;10;28;06 - 00;10;35;17
Speaker 3
I think I am. It sounds a lot like what they call my dad, Coach Shepherd. So it's. Yeah, yeah, it's it's going to be a new hat for me.

00;10;35;21 - 00;10;45;25
Speaker 2
That is pretty cool. So what are you looking forward to in that role? And, you know, how are you going to pull from your previous experiences to to be a good coach?

00;10;45;27 - 00;11;11;23
Speaker 3
I really just want to help be a supporter for those kids, be an extra motivator. People show their true colors in hot water. That's what my dad always said. He's like their tea bags. They show their true colors in hot water. And that's what I learned from track, was that in those toughest moments you saw who people really were when they were pushed to their mental, spiritual, physical limits.

00;11;11;26 - 00;11;35;24
Speaker 3
And to stand with those kids and to tell them that they're not alone. That's something that I look forward to doing because there were moments when I would be on the on the track or on the field. And there are there there's positions on the track where people aren't watching because everybody wants to be located at the finish line so that they can see the end of the race.

00;11;35;27 - 00;12;01;24
Speaker 3
But on the backstretch there's at like the 200 line kind of where the or the field goal is on the football field. Those are the moments where the runners feel like they're going to pass out, where if nobody is watching, they could just step off the track into the bleachers and the race is over. But I want to be standing like right at those spaces to motivate the kids and to get them back in the game.

00;12;01;27 - 00;12;03;22
Speaker 3
Yeah. Yeah.

00;12;03;24 - 00;12;12;05
Speaker 1
That's great. What you said your dad is Coach Shepherd. What is he, Coach Judge Basketball. Oh, yeah. At what level?

00;12;12;08 - 00;12;14;23
Speaker 3
A coach. My brother.

00;12;14;28 - 00;12;17;09
Speaker 4
Yeah. Yeah.

00;12;17;11 - 00;12;35;27
Speaker 2
So one great thing about being a teacher is obviously helping students learn new things. But also we want to keep growing and learning ourselves. So in the future, where do you see yourself wanting to continue to grow and learn? You know, what? Do you have any personal goals or professional goals in those areas?

00;12;36;00 - 00;13;01;14
Speaker 3
Yeah, I, I definitely see myself as a lifelong learner. I want to continue to get new certifications or get different degrees in different fields that interest me. I want to go back and get my doctorate in education. Considering the program that Lipscomb actually and I do want to stay as a teacher in the teaching, I want to stay in teaching in education for a long period of time.

00;13;01;16 - 00;13;19;06
Speaker 3
I think I would see myself as a classroom teacher for the next 5 to 10 years, maybe maybe moving into administration or doing something else with the doctorate, but definitely staying close to school. Doctor Coach Yes, right.

00;13;19;08 - 00;13;38;13
Speaker 1
Okay. So we started the podcast talking about football. I want to end it by talking about basketball, but bring it back around to one thing that Brad said. One of us said at the very beginning about how you get students to engage with you. There's a connection piece there. Last week I noticed that you had a brace on your wrist.

00;13;38;15 - 00;13;42;22
Speaker 1
Do you want to tell us what happened there?

00;13;42;24 - 00;13;49;18
Speaker 3
So I was playing in the student teacher basketball game and I, I sprained my wrist tug.

00;13;49;18 - 00;13;51;22
Speaker 1
I tell us which teachers will take care of it.

00;13;51;25 - 00;13;59;15
Speaker 3
I it actually was not a specific teacher. It was is in transition period and it was I can't blame it on a specific person. So it's okay.

00;13;59;18 - 00;14;04;21
Speaker 4
Oh, she tripped you? It's fine. It's fine.

00;14;04;21 - 00;14;08;24
Speaker 3
We don't know what.

00;14;08;26 - 00;14;14;28
Speaker 1
Well, so talking about basketball, you said your dad coached your brother. So tell us tell us a little bit about your brother.

00;14;15;05 - 00;14;18;03
Speaker 3
Yeah, he's younger than me. He's 23. And.

00;14;18;08 - 00;14;20;09
Speaker 1
And that's all we need to know, right? Yes.

00;14;20;12 - 00;14;42;12
Speaker 3
I taught him everything. I scored four points in the game before I sprained my wrist, by the way. But now he's. He's my younger brother. He went to Belmont University and he graduated in 2021. So it was really nice to have him in the area and be close to him. But then once he graduated, he actually got drafted to be an Indiana pacer.

00;14;42;12 - 00;14;50;11
Speaker 3
So now he's in the NBA and we're really happy for him. We're really happy that he gets to do what he loves and get paid for it.

00;14;50;14 - 00;14;53;10
Speaker 1
And how often do you get to go watch one of his games?

00;14;53;13 - 00;15;19;13
Speaker 3
I'll go on holidays because this NBA schedule is hard for a teacher. I'm not going to a Tuesday night game, but I'll go to Thanksgiving, Christmas games. We went to three or four this year and he's actually coming home this weekend because we have the All-Star Game and then didn't get selected into the All-Star Game. So we'll come back to Nashville for the weekend because this is where his houses.

00;15;19;15 - 00;15;23;00
Speaker 1
And is he going to give you any tips so that Tristen doesn't hurt you again in the next game?

00;15;23;00 - 00;15;26;26
Speaker 3
Oh, yeah. Yeah. We'll have to brush up on my defense.

00;15;26;29 - 00;15;30;13
Speaker 2
I mean, you said your dad was help coached him, but you did your dad coach you as well?

00;15;30;15 - 00;15;47;14
Speaker 3
Yes. Yeah, he started off with me, actually, because I'm the older one. And so when I decided I wanted to play basketball, he started coaching me. And then when my brother started playing, he took up a group of my brother's friends. And there's actually multiple of those guys who are playing, you know, collegiate level or in the NFL.

00;15;47;14 - 00;15;49;27
Speaker 3
And it's actually, yeah, I'm happy for them.

00;15;49;29 - 00;15;54;09
Speaker 2
What what traits did you get from your dad and what traits did you get from your mom?

00;15;54;11 - 00;16;22;14
Speaker 3
MM My dad is the math brain. He I get all my type-A traits like him. We're both very organized. We're both very specific and detailed in our notes, and we're very upfront when we speak. I got my emotional side from my mom. She is a people person and she just sees them for who they are. And I see I get a little bit of it, but the emotions I get from my mom for sure.

00;16;22;17 - 00;16;37;29
Speaker 2
So I worked with her mom in Atlanta and I will say the students would gather around her as well. So I would always, when I would see her, there were kids gathered around the desk and around her as well. So I think that that comes with that as well.

00;16;38;04 - 00;16;39;10
Speaker 1
When she did.

00;16;39;12 - 00;16;41;10
Speaker 3
She was an administrator and teach.

00;16;41;10 - 00;16;42;20
Speaker 4
Classes, but.

00;16;42;22 - 00;16;44;11
Speaker 2
She kept everybody in line.

00;16;44;13 - 00;16;50;12
Speaker 1
Was she your administrator? Yes. Oh, he loved that part out. What did you learn from her? BROWN.

00;16;50;14 - 00;17;18;23
Speaker 2
Huh. Well, I mean, that's a hard question because I say I think she was a great partner. So she was a great teammate. She was a protector. She's always watching out for people. And so to have somebody like that kind of out front is it was really nice because she was always watching out for your best interests. So I'm probably not like a specific skill set to learn, but more just qualities you want to emulate.

00;17;18;26 - 00;17;31;02
Speaker 1
Okay, So when we always end this little fun game at the very end, but I couldn't remember what we called it until I wrote this down, but I'm not sure that's what we call it. What we call it.

00;17;31;04 - 00;17;34;03
Speaker 2
It sounds fine. That was hot seat, hot seat.

00;17;34;05 - 00;17;35;07
Speaker 4
I couldn't remember.

00;17;35;08 - 00;17;38;22
Speaker 1
Okay, so we're just going to throw things at you and you tell us the first thing that comes to your mind.

00;17;38;23 - 00;17;39;12
Speaker 2
Not literally.

00;17;39;18 - 00;17;43;16
Speaker 4
Okay. Okay. Okay.

00;17;43;18 - 00;17;50;06
Speaker 1
All right. What's one thing we'd be surprised to learn about Sidney Sheppard?

00;17;50;09 - 00;17;51;24
Speaker 3
I have a cat.

00;17;51;26 - 00;17;52;16
Speaker 1
I have a cat.

00;17;52;19 - 00;18;15;12
Speaker 3
My cat person. I don't know. People see me and they think dog person, but I like cats. I like its it's the structure of it. She she knows when I want friendliness, when I want affection. But she can also really read me when I come in and she can kind of keep her distance if she knows like my energy's kind of off there.

00;18;15;15 - 00;18;18;19
Speaker 3
Cats are so aware, I don't.

00;18;18;19 - 00;18;19;20
Speaker 4
Know.

00;18;19;22 - 00;18;26;00
Speaker 1
Of them. Do you have a nickname? Sad. Sad. Is that what your family calls you? Yeah.

00;18;26;02 - 00;18;30;28
Speaker 2
Yeah. Favorite superhero.
