## Resource

In this episode of Blue Glasses Math, I welcome Jen Dalton, Math Department Chair at New England Innovation Academy. We discuss the importance of building trust with students, and innovative teaching methods that integrate real-world applications and cross-disciplinary skills. Takeways Building trust with students is crucial for a successful learning environment. Real-world applications make math more engaging for students. Competency-based education focuses on skills rather than content memorization. Encouraging students to take risks fosters a positive learning atmosphere. Integrating humanities and math can enhance student engagement. Listening to students helps tailor teaching methods to their needs. Creating a safe space for mistakes encourages learning.
