What is Math Coaching?
Think of it as a personalized professional development experience. Our coaching sessions are collaborative, reflective, and tailored to your individual needs and goals. We work with you to explore new ideas, refine existing practices, dive deeper into the math content standards for your students’ grade level, explore the strategies/math tools/models to support your students’ mathematical understanding and address specific areas where you’d like to see improvement or innovation in your math classroom.
Virtual Math Coaching is for educators/parents who are:
- Seeking new ways to make math concepts more accessible and engaging.
- Looking to refine their questioning techniques and promote deeper student thinking.
- Interested in integrating innovative math tools, models, and strategies into their lessons.
- Desiring a supportive space to reflect on their practice and set new professional goals.
- Simply curious about the benefits of personalized math coaching.
- There’s no commitment required beyond the initial free complimentary session. It’s an opportunity for you to experience firsthand how targeted coaching can make a significant difference in your teaching and, ultimately, in your students’ learning.
