The best way to inspire self-directed learning and deliver holistic pedagogical ideas is to simply learn and absorb as much math content as possible. However, too often, reluctant/new math teachers are overwhelmed with the constraints of the classroom, and have a tough time locating and learning new mathematical content. In this workshop, I will share 20 years of resource ideas/insights that will give K to 8 teachers enrichment ideas for not only the students for themselves as well. As well, the philosophical notion of becoming a "master learner" as opposed to a "master teacher" will be woven into the workshop, to further disarm the learning of mathematics, and truly create wide open spaces for deeper exploration.
