Show Notes

In this episode, we get a chance to meet Annie, a math teacher who is originally from the Philippines. Annie helps us to see different perspectives on learning math, teaching in different countries, contexts and cultures and what it takes to help students become successful in her class and in life.  A teacher with a BIG heart, Annie has taught for over 35 years.  But still, she finds joy and motivation from her students to show up every day even though she is considered “high risk” in the pandemic. Almost every year, Annie has a 100% pass rate on the AP Calculus exam, which is the hardest AP exam. How does she do it? Listen and find out what her “secret sauce” to teaching is and how she motivates her students. Also, discover the surprise reveal of how she wants to be remembered by her students. Here’s another statistic for Annie: you will be 100% delighted and inspired by this amazing lady!
