    Our Mission

    The Delaware Mathematics Coalition’s mission is to identify, endorse, and design high quality synergistic professional learning opportunities and experiences that support the actualization of research-based norms for teaching and learning mathematics.

    As an organization, the Coalition advocates and supports at the state and district levels for the implementation of these practices in every classroom so that all students gain the mathematics proficiency necessary to graduate having successfully completed a rigorous, meaningful twenty-first century education that prepares them for careers, college, and citizenship.

    "Every moment of the day presented an opportunity for us to reflect on equity and make adjustments to assure equal access to education, achievement, identity and power."
    Conference Participant
    "All the sessions were amazing! I really appreciated the opportunity to be “surrounded” by like-intended individuals. I felt welcomed and safe."
    Conference Participant
    "The biggest takeaway from the conference is that it is not just ok to know that equity/inequity exists in education, but that there are things that we (teachers, coaches, principals, etc) can do to make changes, even if they are small changes. I appreciated the varying sessions seeing equity as a large issue (district/statewide) down to the teacher view of equity in classrooms."
    Conference Participant
    "See the brilliance in every child then approach teaching them as an opportunity to get them to see it in themselves. The Debra Ball video with the young man with the airplane really spoke to me. Speaking about her daughter as not wanting to be seen as anything other than a black girl - wow. Using Wakanda as a metaphor for a Utopia where no one has ever experienced being marginalized was also powerful."
    Conference Participant
    "Jamila and all who put this on... this was an immense undertaking and it went so seamlessly. I am so proud to be part of this community. We have to be one of a kind here in DE!"
    Conference Participant
    "This was an incredible day. I am filled with emotion as the day comes to a close. Emotional high because the content, speakers, and community inspire me. Emotional because this is such a complex and important focus for our community. Every day, every experience can help us forge new ground. We can and will and are making a difference!!"

    What Educators are saying about our programs.

    “I have found a community that truly connects critical mathematics education research to concrete practice. We reflect on content in a way that deepens my own understanding and connections of important mathematical ideas, discuss pedagogical moves that we can use to encourage student thinking and agency within our classrooms, and focus on how we can become better teacher leaders in our building.” (TRU-Math Participant: RBS, 2017)

    "The opportunity for new teachers to be a part of the same training (LCL) with experienced teacher leaders and coaches is a unique and powerful opportunity that exemplifies the type of equity across a learning community that is a foundational focal component of the training."

    “Watching and reflecting on the classroom video reminded me of how powerful our work around video analysis has been. I am noticing myself watching videos and focusing more on the math and how the students are engaging in the math. It is so important to encourage all math teachers to think about what the learning goals of each lesson are and how are the students engaging in the math and what are students grappling with.”
