Principals play a key role in leading instructional shifts within their schools and across their districts. We provide instructional leadership workshops to help principals build their own capacity for math leadership. These workshops include support in the areas of developing a clear math vision for your school, developing a school-wide professional learning plan to meet your goals, using research-based protocols for classroom observations and reflective conversations, tapping into and supporting potential math teacher leaders, and any other identified needs principals have.
Our consultants work as one-on-one coaches with each principal at their school site to improve the effectiveness of day to day math instructional leadership. Activities can include guided classroom observations and reflective conferencing using a variety of research-based best practices and tools, support in identifying and strategically guiding teacher math leaders, planning and facilitating professional learning for teachers, consultation to solve school-specific challenges, as well as structuring and facilitating data analysis and use. We tailor our support to meet any needs that individual or small groups of principals have.
“Andrea and her team at Math Transformations provide highly effective, research-informed professional development that is inspiring to new and experienced educators, teachers and leaders at all levels. It is rare to find a math professional development program that genuinely builds the skills of leaders to support high quality math instruction. By engaging leaders it is a vehicle for system and school transformation as well.”
