This two hour virtual training is intended for educators who work with students in a general education setting, co-teaching setting, or resource setting. Participants will learn strategies for differentiating instruction for students on a variety of achievement levels. There will be an emphasis on differentiation within math stations.

Get ready for a hands-on, joy-filled deep dive into fractions! In this three hour make-and-take PD session, elementary and middle school teachers will explore fractions through the power of the linear model, discover smart sequencing tips and real-world number line applications, and create ready-to-use classroom resources they can take home the same day. Come learn, create, and—most importantly—have fun bringing fractions to life for your students!

This six hour face-to-face training is intended for teachers and administrators to walk through the action steps that would need to take place in order to get all members of a school community in agreement on expectations and norms surrounding best practices in mathematics. There is a focus on vertical and horizontal alignment of math pedagogy in a school building and/or district. Participants will work through and receive a copy of The Math Pact, written by Barbara Dougherty, Sarah Bush, and Karen Karp. This book and the idea of the Mathematics Whole School Agreement are promoted by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM).

Join us for a two-hour virtual professional learning experience designed to strengthen counting instruction for students with significant cognitive disabilities. Participants will explore different types of counting and learn an effective, repeatable counting routine that supports access and understanding for learners with significant delays. This session will also highlight how to intentionally use manipulatives within the routine and how the same structure seamlessly supports students who use communication devices, making counting meaningful, inclusive, and engaging.

This six-hour professional learning experience focuses on best practices for effective co-planning and co-teaching in the mathematics classroom. Educators will explore practical strategies and receive ready-to-use resources to support intentional planning of grade-level content and specially designed instruction aligned to state standards and student IEP goals. Co-teaching teams are strongly encouraged to attend together to deepen collaboration and strengthen instructional impact for all learners.

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.

Join us for a two-hour virtual training designed to energize and strengthen mathematics instruction. This session will spotlight evidence-based strategies aligned to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ 8 Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices and the Standards for Mathematical Practice, with a strong focus on high-impact, specially designed instruction (SDI). Participants will walk away with practical, high-yield strategies that elevate student reasoning, problem solving, and overall success in the math classroom.
Join us for this engaging, hands-on professional learning session focused on strengthening students’ conceptual understanding of mathematics through the use of multiple representations. Participants will explore how to intentionally incorporate multiple representations to help students make meaningful connections in math. Through collaborative activities and classroom-ready strategies, teachers will learn practical ways to support all learners in developing deeper mathematical thinking.

This book study challenges participants to rethink transition as a system of preparation—not a single IEP page. Through guided discussion and practical application, we will analyze what strong transition planning looks like in action and how to align assessment, measurable postsecondary goals, annual goals, SDI, and community connections into one coherent pathway.
This experience is designed for teams ready to:
Participants will apply learning directly to active student cases throughout the study and books will be provided. Virtual book study. 9-11am.
