She once struggled with math — now she’s helping students fall in love with it.
Ashley Knight, an award-winning mathematics teacher at Patuxent High School, shares how her own challenges inspired a completely new approach to teaching. From hands-on projects to real-world problem solving, she’s transforming math from a subject students fear into one they can’t wait to explore.

In this conversation, Ashley joins host Sonja Cox and co-host Natalie Cotton to discuss:

  • How she rebuilt her passion for teaching after COVID burnout
  • Why collaboration and creativity beat memorization
  • What it really means to make math “click” for every learner

Her story is a reminder that education isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection, curiosity, and believing every student can succeed.
