    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.

    Keen Eye Video Analysis Coaching

    January 3rd

    Keen Eye workshops are purposefully designed to help instructional leaders develop the skills and knowledge to support their teachers in achieving more ambitious mathematics teaching by maximizing the impact of their pre and post-lesson video analysis conversations.

    As part of the professional learning, teacher leaders, coaches, connectors, and mathematics specialists will explore the essential elements of high quality conceptually-focused mathematics teaching that translate into more ambitious teaching by experiencing “keen eye” learning cycles. Learn More

    Leadership Coaching Lab Community

    January 9th

    The promise of secondary Leadership Coaching Lab (LCL) is to build a robust mathematics leadership community in which the role of curriculum, lesson study, video analysis, and teacher growth are public and itself the focus of study among colleagues. Across the year, sessions provide Leadership Coaching Lab participants with recursive opportunities to reflect on their instructional practices,  engage in mathematically intense conversations, and develop a keen eye for the essence of the mathematics in their conceptually-grounded lessons. Learn More

    Transforming and Understanding PL

    January 17th (Grades 4-5) & 25th (Grades 6-7)

    The Transforming and Understanding Professional Learning (TUPL) is a 4-year curriculum and content-focused professional learning project designed specifically for Grades 4-7 teachers in districts using the Bridges Mathematics and Illustrative Mathematics Programs. Participants engage in five days of professional learning across the academic year as well as a three-day summer Math Camp. Teachers study the content and author’s intent of their high quality instructional materials and work side-by-side with the project Connectors to unpack, enact (and capture video), and debrief their target lessons. To learn more, check out the flyers below.

    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.”
