Experience the
Math Culture Shift

Intro to Building Math Culture:
from Vision to Practice to Impact

Summer 2027

Location TBA

Join us for a 2.5 day summer institute where you will step into your students’ shoes and experience what math feels like when curiosity, discourse, and deep thinking lead the way (grades K-12).

🔎 What We’ll Explore

How America’s math culture shapes beliefs about who is (and isn’t) a “math person,”and reflect on how your own math story shapes your practice.
Research-based math instructional strategies, including the Launch-Explore-Discuss-Synthesize lesson structure and the 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Math Discussions.
How purposeful use of the models and strategies can simultaneously support access and challenge for all learners
Protocols that build teacher content knowledge around essential grade-level concepts
How to plan for a lesson that positions students as the problem solvers

🛠️ How We’ll Explore

Step into your students’ shoes by engaging in rich, inquiry-based math tasks, and reflect on how the experience deepens your own understanding of mathematics and effective instruction.
Participate in protocols designed to build content knowledge and pedagogical skill, structures you can take back and use with your own teams.
Use lesson video to unpack teacher decision-making, and examine how instructional choices shape student thinking and collaboration.
Experience instructional best practices as a learner, with professional development sessions designed to reflect the same engagement, challenge, and discourse we seek for our students.
