## Resource

Talking with Courtney Flessner feels like an invitation to rethink what math education is for . In this episode, we explore why teaching math can’t be reduced to getting the right answers—and why understanding the “why” behind the math matters just as much as the “how.” Courtney pushes us to ask brave questions about our practice, to sit with discomfort, and to see reflection as an act of care for our students. If you’re ready to deepen your purpose and strengthen the way you show up for young mathematicians, this conversation is a powerful place to start.
