Building Strong Math Classrooms: The 8 Effective Teaching Practices


February 26, 2025

12:00PM - 1:30PM

To change the outcomes in mathematics, we must first rethink our approach. This overview session, designed for District & Site Administrators, Curriculum Directors, and Instructional Coaches, introduces the 8 Effective Math Teaching Practices as a foundation for shifting the perception of math in our schools. Participants will have an opportunity to reflect on their current teaching practices in their system, explore an overview of the 8 Effective Teaching Practices, and begin selecting a focus area to promote deeper understanding, meaningful engagement, and equity in math education.


Together, let's reimagine what's possible and create a path to better results for every learner!
