How do we effectively lead mathematics education in the era of the digital age? We commit to curation of best practices, connections between mathematical ideas, and communication to learn and share with a broad audience.
To build confidence as well as a more visual approach to elementary mathematics learning and teaching, we have designed ongoing, early morning, job-embedded professional learning around teaching practices and current research.
Goals:
At the end of the semester, teacher-learners should be able to say:
- I can exercise mathematical flexibility to show what I know in more than one way.
- I can make sense of tasks and persevere in solving them.
- I can work within NCTM’s Eight Mathematical Teaching Practices for strengthening the teaching and learning of mathematics.

Facilitators:
- Jill Gough, Director of Teaching and Learning
- Marsha Harris, Director of Curriculum
- Becky Holden, Early Learning Mathematics Specialist
The weekly schedule of topics are as follows:
If you are interested in emboldening your inner mathematician and would like to join us, please contact us for additional details.

Experiments in Learning by Doing 
Is this an in-person training, or virtual? I would love for my St. Mary’s teachers to be able to do this…

Hey! Thanks for asking. Currently it is planned for face-to-face instruction on Wednesday mornings. There has been one other request for virtual learning. I’ll send you the full flyer via email. I’ll keep you posted.
