Supporting schools in creating and sustaining a student-centered math culture

1

Math Vision Creation

When schools align on core beliefs about math pedagogy and content, the work is focused and sustainable.
2

Strategic Planning

In order to bring the vision to life, leaders must choose a starting place for the work, outline highest-leverage steps to work towards long-term goals, and determine how progress will be measured.

Implementation

Through ongoing professional development and coaching, teachers and leaders bring their math vision to life, one step at a time.
