## Resource

In this episode, I engage in a thought-provoking conversation with William Polan, an international school educator and math coach based in Thailand. We explore the transformative power of inquiry-based learning in math education, discussing how it fosters student confidence, creativity, and self-directed learning. William shares insights from his upcoming book, "The Inquiry Math Classroom," and highlights the importance of connecting with students through content to cultivate meaningful relationships and growth mindsets. Check out the magic of Inquiry Math by connecting with William on IG and LinkedIn. He's got some great tunes on his post / reels too! ⁠@the_math_inquirer⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-polan-972b5b238/
