Welcome back to Progressively Incorrect. I’m your host, Dr. Zach Groshell.
In this episode, I’m joined by the always fabulous, Femi Adeniran, to continue a conversation that started when I appeared on the Beyond Good podcast about math, coaching, and instruction.
We discuss:
How to begin a maths lesson
How not to begin a maths lesson
What explicit instruction looks like
Delivering an effective maths lesson
The transformative method of giving people answers as well as questions when tackling maths problems
Things teachers do which can lead to problems
The main areas Femi works on with teachers through his coaching
What effective coaching looks like
Running a maths department
Developing a group of people collectively
🚨 Registration is open! 🚨
This summer, join me in New York City for The Explicit Teaching Institute—a five-day deep dive into the science of learning and the highest-leverage moves in explicit instruction. We’ll spend our mornings unpacking the research, our middays studying expert teaching on video (courtesy of Steplab!), and our afternoons rehearsing the moves that make instruction clear, efficient, and reliable—so you leave with a practical toolkit you can use on day one.
🗽 NYC | July 27–31, 2026
