Our Mission
Elevating Math Teaching & Learning Across Systems
Math Transformations honors and builds upon the talent and knowledge every teacher and leader brings to the teaching profession. We see mathematics as a civil right. Every student deserves to see themself as a mathematician and to see mathematics as a gateway to their future. Our passionate team of teachers, math coaches, principals, university professors, and scientists personalize professional learning experiences to support you and your students in elevating math teaching and learning across your systems.
We understand that change takes time and inspiration, that together we have to challenge our own beliefs about what it means to teach and learn mathematics. We understand that the interaction between the teacher and student is the heart of it all, yet all systems and players must be part of the solution. We are your partners in this endeavor. We know how to make these changes. We will meet you and your organization where you are in your development and build on your strengths. We will help you to get the results you desire and to create the mathematics experience every student deserves.

All of our consultants are handpicked. They choose to join our team because they believe in students, they believe in teachers, they believe in our mission, and they believe in our methods. They are high-quality educators with track records of being influential in the field. They are skilled facilitators of adult learning. They come from K-12 schools, universities, and the research world. We have a balanced team ready to meet the needs of your school and your systems.
Research shows that, in order to transform a system, math professional learning must be ongoing and situated inside and outside the classroom. It must build teachers’ content knowledge, pedagogical expertise, and skill in implementation. We create conditions that are safe for teachers to take risks and to grow in ways that positively impact their instruction and student learning.
When we develop a partnership with you, we provide the highest quality professionals for you to work with. And they provide the highest quality professional learning. We work outside and inside the classroom over time to support your long-term success.
