Transform your classroom into a thriving culture of mathematical learning for every student. In this three-hour, in-person professional development, we’ll explore how teachers’ and students’ math autobiographies—their past experiences, beliefs, and emotions around math—shape engagement, confidence, and learning in today’s classroom. Participants will learn how to intentionally weave the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs) and Mathematics Teaching Practices (MTPs) into daily instruction while addressing math fears, honoring student voice, and building a community where curiosity, reasoning, and collaboration flourish. You’ll walk away with practical, ready-to-use strategies to foster deep thinking and create a classroom culture where math learning is meaningful, inclusive, and empowering.
