Math PD Consortium

Sustained Professional Development for the Specific Needs of Teachers and Administrators

MCMI’s high-quality professional development offerings create sustained opportunities for teachers, administrators, and instructional leaders from area schools to collaborate, network, and learn together. These comprehensive, coherent services draw on our team’s decades of experience in mathematics education to build district capacity and engage all stakeholders in improving student learning.

Annual fees to participate are based on districts’ total student enrollment and provide districts or schools with affordable, unlimited access to our high-quality resources and expertly designed professional development facilitations. Schools or districts can also choose to participate in specific offerings.

Coaching

Direct contact with the teaching, learning, and collaboration happening in a district provides all stakeholders with the formative assessment information needed to continue to guide professional learning. MCMI coaches can:

  • Collaborate with the Instructional Leadership Team
    • Support or help to create a Mathematics Leadership Team by helping create agendas, data collection and analysis conversations about student and teacher learning.
  • Facilitate collaboration and learning among teachers
    • The coach may work with teams of mathematics teachers to support effective teaching and learning teams aligned with the school’s vision.
  • Provide one-on-one classroom support to focus teachers
    • During individual coaching sessions, the coach will visit classes to support teaching and learning.
    • The coach may take on a variety of roles during the lesson. He or she may observe or co-­teach the lesson.
    • The coach will also assist the teacher in using ongoing formative assessment, participate in classroom connections sessions (when applicable), and meet with the principal. To build teachers’ capacity, time for full coaching cycles is essential (including collaborative planning, lesson visits, and conferring to provide feedback and support reflection for change).
