Math

Audience: building and district leaders (school administrators, curriculum directors, and coaches)

Join the COMPASS Math team in a six-session synchronous professional learning series starting with building a Math Vision and Theory of Action informed by your local context. We will take time to cover topics every district/school leader needs to grapple with to support deep mathematical understanding and growth. Additional topics include learning acceleration, observation protocols, mathematical practices, and laying the groundwork for the shifts in the new 2022 math standards.

Dates and Times

Synchronous meetings take place on Tuesdays from 1:00-2:30 pm on the following dates: 10/7/2025, 11/4/2025, 12/2/2025, 1/6/2026, 2/3/2026, and 3/3/2026.

Register for the Math Instructional Systems Leadership Series

Audience: Pre-K through second grade level teachers, coaches, and instructional leaders who support pre-K through second grade math instruction.

To change outcomes in mathematics, we must first rethink our approach. This pathway is designed for teachers, coaches, and school & district leaders. It introduces the 8 Effective Math Teaching Practices as a foundation for shifting the perception of math in our pre-k through 2nd-grade classrooms.

Participants will have an opportunity to reflect on current teaching practices, see what the 8 Effective Teaching Practices look like in their grade band, and promote deeper understanding, meaningful engagement, student agency, and equity in math education. Together, let’s reimagine what’s possible and create a path to better results for every learner. Topics embedded in this pathway will include early number sense, place value, language routines, Manipulative use, and Play-based math learning.

Dates and Times

Synchronous meetings will take place on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 pm on the following dates: 9/4/2025, 10/2/2025, 11/6/2025, 12/4/2025, 1/8/2026, 2/5/2026, 3/5/2026, and 4/2/2026.
