George Couros opens this episode of The Innovator’s Mindset Podcast with a thought that he disagrees with. Couros reflects on the idea that kids can be good at whatever they want and how it is actually more important to help kids be good at something by developing their passions and strengths while exposing them to new ideas. We all have different talents and gifts and that makes the world better. This episode with Jeanne Lazzarini talks about ways that math can be taught so that all learners can connect their personal strengths. Lazzarini shares ways that she connects her students to math in their own lives.
