Anna Stokke is a mathematics professor at the University of Winnipeg, Co-Director of the Science of Mathematics Education Lab at La Trobe University, and a leading advocate for evidence-informed math teaching. She holds a PhD in mathematics from the University of Alberta and is a recipient of the 3M National Teaching Fellowship, Canada’s highest honour for excellence in post-secondary teaching. Her mathematics education work focusses on translating research into actionable recommendations for educators and policymakers.
As host of Chalk & Talk, Anna speaks with leading researchers and educators about the evidence-informed education, with a particular focus on mathematics, bringing research-based insights to teachers, parents, and policymakers.
“If you’re looking for an honest conversation about what works and what doesn’t in math education, then look no further. Every episode is littered with high quality research explained in practical, heartfelt ways for both educators, parents, and researchers.”
“I can’t wait to listen to the next episode. I learn so much about how to teach — all the things I wish I’d learned in my education degree!”
“Every teacher, every school board member, every principal, every parent should listen to every episode. Some hard and necessary truths lie within: learning is tough, practice is necessary, and hard work pays off through the joy of mastery.”
“Anna Stokke’s Chalk and Talk podcast has been life-changing for me. As a parent trying to understand why my daughter struggled with math, the podcast helped me finally make sense of how math should actually be taught.”
I enjoyed both these mail bag episodes! So good, and I look forward to going back through the resources. I also look forward to your [future] episode[s].
I am absolutely amazed how much I learned in these two short, back-to back-episodes. I was madly taking notes throughout the episode, holding onto every word and piece of practical, do-it-tomorrow advice. A must-listen!
Anna does a wonderful job addressing key issues in mathematics education. She brings thought provoking and knowledgeable speakers on the podcast. Anna uses research and evidence based methods to drive her podcast.
I can’t wait to listen to the next episode. I learn so much about how to teach – all the things I wish I’d learned in my education degree!
