"I came in knowing I wanted more voices in the room — especially the quiet kids in fifth period. Thirty days in, the room sounds different. I'm not done. I've started."
Shape of growth shown — specific ratings are private to Maya.
"Tried a 'two voices before mine' rule in fifth-period discussion. Three kids who hadn't spoken in a week jumped in within the first ten minutes."
"M. asked a clarifying question for the first time all quarter. Small, but I noticed."
"Reworked my Monday opener. Got through transitions in under 90 seconds for the first time this year."
Maya came in clear about what she wanted to change — too few voices in discussion, especially in fifth period. Across thirty days she ran small experiments: a cold-call cycle, a "two voices before mine" rule, a tightened opener. The voices she wanted to hear started showing up. The work isn't done. It's started.
