Meeting the Demands of Mathematics Instruction in Today’s Classroom

Common Core? Mathematical Practices? Content and instructional shifts? College and career readiness? Has there ever been a more challenging time for mathematics education? You’ve probably caught yourself thinking about ensuring that math students develop desired academic behaviors so they’re ready for college credit-bearing courses or immediate placement in today’s workforce.

Adopt New Instructional Strategies

Educators learn how to:

Change classroom instruction.
Effectively implement the Common Core or college and career competencies.
Implement new rubrics to observe for instructional behaviors.

Ensure that Students will be College and Career Ready

Educators learn how to:

Teach for conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking.
Integrate classroom technologies into mathematics instruction.
Meet the content demands of the new standards.

Intervene with Strong Support

Educators learn how to:

Differentiate mathematics instruction to meet individual needs.
Teach to students’ misconceptions in addition to supporting basic skill development.
Integrate research-proven strategies.

We are not just about the what of the Common Core; we are about the how of effective implementation.

We offer a wide array of services that focus specifically on changing classroom instruction. Addressing misconceptions requires more than just re-teaching and traditional remediation. This shift in classroom practice requires substantial professional development support, such as side-by-side coaching to support implementation.
