Relevant Literature

In these classes, Mr. Pahuski studied literature and learned the most current and evidence-based best practices to implement into his teaching.

However, the two most valuable texts that informed his pedagogy include:

  • Boaler, J. (2016). Mathematical mindsets. Jossey-Bass.

  • Himmele, P., & Himmele, W. (2017). Total participation techniques: making every student an active learner (2nd ed.). ASCD.
