Join District Math Consultant Kelly Green in this hands-on session. Who should attend? Instructional Coaches, Content Specialists, Interventionists & any related support personnel. As math instruction continues to evolve, instructional coaches play a key role in leading the shift toward student-centered learning. In this session, grounded in Diane Sweeney’s Student-Centered Coaching model, you'll learn how to structure coaching cycles that focus on student outcomes. We’ll explore setting meaningful goals, unpacking standards, and using engaging math tasks through modeling, co-teaching, and planning. You’ll also have time to collaborate with fellow coaches to share ideas and build capacity. Leave with practical strategies and a supportive network to lead impactful, student-driven coaching in mathematics. Various copies of the book: Teaching Student Centered Mathematics (K-2), (3-5) & (6-8) will be raffled off to attendees. Registration will close January 28 at 12:00pm, time will be given for lunch (on your own) the day of the event.
