Partner School
When schools endeavor to make significant changes regarding the level of the content and rigor in their classrooms, the Partner School Program is the next step.
We’ll help: school change is complex, and especially in the area of mathematics
The change process isn’t easy—education holds tight to a narrow vision of teaching and learning. But children need ambitious leaders who will support and engage high-quality math professional development. Teachers and coaches need PD that is ongoing, in-depth, and practice-focused. Our Partner School Program ensures a path forward to build capacity, enthusiasm, and a clear vision.
We will support you over an extended period of time (2 or more years)
We will begin with a series of workshops to help your team build content knowledge and recognize the connections across concepts that build a strong bridge between arithmetic and algebra. Then, we’ll model teach in your classrooms, invite you to study Long-View to see the pedagogy in action, and collaborate on curriculum alignment. We will then progressively focus on a small number of teacher-leaders.
We’ll work closely with select teacher-leaders at your school
Thoughtful, significant revision of your program will be accomplished, in part, by developing a cohort of leaders who are invested in increasing their understanding and their capacity to support colleagues or open their room to visitors. We’ll work side-by-side and together we’ll build capacity to support the culture and practices of strong math communities.
What’s included in the Partner Program?
We have critical experiences that help support your school, but we will also work with you to customize the experience based on your goals, culture, capacity, and preferred duration.
