Today on the show we bring you an interview with Neil Cooperman, a math teacher from New Jersey with over 50 years of experience. Neil is one of the most experienced teachers I’ve ever spoken to, but it is clear from our conversation that his passion for education hasn’t dimmed, and the wisdom he has gained over his many years of classroom service holds value for us all.
Listen as he shares stories of his career’s brightest moments, his AC/DC method of ensuring that classrooms foster critical thinking through inquiry and discovery, and his simple but ingenious popcorn strategy for gauging and managing student response and discussion during lessons—and much more! Here’s episode 13, with Neil Cooperman.
