Teacher Talk
As the start of the new school year approaches, here is this week’s podcast on how one enthusiastic teacher spent his summer preparing curriculum and new teaching strategies to start the 2018-2019 school year on the right foot. Brian Page, a Passionate (that's with a capital P) NGPF Fellow, teaches at Reading High School in Ohio and this marks his third appearance on the NGPF Podcast.
He shares how he both led and attended professional development sessions this summer that modeled engaging instructional strategies and used feedback to capture teacher thinking. He discusses the countless hours he spent revamping his curriculum. What key changes did he make? He is allowing for more student choice as well as building in more immediate feedback for students who take his assessments. Finally, Brian discusses the importance of timeliness when it comes to delivering content on financial aid to high school seniors. He wants them to have the opportunity to take a critical look at student loans and created an activity so they could experience the consequences of over borrowing. Brian will inspire energize you. He believes that HE has one of the best jobs collaborating with other bright and high achieving education leaders. We think that WE do! Enjoy!

After graduating with a statistics major at UC Davis, Abby set off to Massachusetts to teach algebra 1 and geometry and enjoyed working with the curious and creative minds of high school students. She is passionate about helping students recognize and develop their strengths and leadership skills. She was instrumental in taking the high school cheer team to regional competitions, as well as elevating school spirit and pride through creating unity amongst the study body and educators. Back in the Bay Area, Abby is excited to work with other educators to build and share content to enhance the teaching experience in applied math and finance.
Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
