👉 Students can’t handle it
👉 You have to sacrifice rigor

None of it is true.

🎙 In this episode, I’m breaking down:
✅ Why planning doesn’t have to be overwhelming

Let’s put aside standards and curriculum for a moment.
Let’s talk about the actual humans in your classroom.
Because chances are, you’ve felt it too:
“They deserve more than just what the textbook gives them.”

✅ They deserve to see math as meaningful.
✅ They deserve to feel confident and curious — not just compliant.
✅ They deserve your best, even when the system doesn’t make it easy.

🎧 In this episode of The Modern Math Teacher Podcast, we’re exploring:

• What students actually want from math class
• Why traditional instruction leaves them disconnected
• How we shift from compliance to curiosity
• What support teachers need to make it happen (without burning out)

We’ve all been there:
📥 You download a promising project.
📄 The instructions look solid.
✅ The math checks out.
But once it hits your classroom? Something’s missing.

The truth is: done-for-you isn’t the same as done-right.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the “Done-for-You Trap” — why great resources still fall flat without the systems, structure, and support to implement them successfully.

🎧 We’ll cover:

• Why the best projects still need scaffolds and systems
• What teachers really need to make PBL work
• How the Modern Math Teacher Membership combines resources + coaching to make it sustainable
