Since getting your degree what type of professional development have you done? I'm realizing I haven't pushed myself to try or learn anything new in a while. If you have done something, what was it and what did you get out of it?

Relearning and teaching Calculus, and AP professional development and NMSI training have all really been great for me.
It's also gotten me to remember I actually enjoy Math.

There isn't any time for me to even do my regular job the right way. Certainly no time for extra PD.

Ti calculator professional development. I teach algebra and the tricks for self checking is so great and definitely something i want to implement next year. Trying to go to the conference this year as well.

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

I found using GoFormative’s free version to be very helpful in teaching new topics to my students. I embed videos I make demonstrating how to complete a question, next I ask them to complete an example showing work, and then the next question they type their answer so it automatically alerts them to see if they answered correctly. It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.
