The First Stop: "Aftermath" by Ted Dintersmith
Pre-Order here
Our 2026 journey begins with Aftermath: The Life-Changing Math That Schools Won't Teach You. If you joined us at the 2019 NACCE Annual Conference, you’ll remember the energy Ted Dintersmith brought when we screened his eye-opening documentary, What School Could Be. Now, Ted is back to help us dismantle the "rote" and embrace the math that actually matters for our students' futures.
"The math that really matters in life does not have one right answer."
— Ted Dintersmith
"At NACCE, we believe math isn't about being a human calculator; it’s about agency. Whether you are using algebra to build an Adirondack chair or compound interest to grow a business, real-world math provides logic and self-reliance, which is at the heart of the entrepreneurial mindset. Ted Dintersmith’s Aftermath shows us that when we move past rote formulas and embrace strategic problem-solving, we empower students with the true tools for economic vitality."— Dr. Rebecca Corbin, President & CEO
