Welcome back for year three of the Excellence Through the Math Practices Project! All are welcome to join this team as we continue to explore how the implementation of the Next Generation Learning Standards is truly an opportunity to focus on equitable instruction for ALL students. This year we will be developing strategies and resources, through the lens of the 8 Mathematical Practices, to support student success. This is open to all math educators who want to help lead the way in this essential work.

Building Thinking Classrooms (Peter Liljedahl) is generating a great deal of excitement in K-12 math education. It is based on years of research in hundreds of classrooms. This partners beautifully with our regional work of leading with the NYS Standards for Mathematical Practice. Join us for this collaborative regional effort to progress together in Building Thinking Classrooms. Each session will consist of a mini professional development, collaboration, creation time, the sharing of best practices and an embedded book study. Participants are asked to purchase their own copy of the book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, by Peter Liljedahl prior to the first session.
