Targeted Math Professional Development
Rekindle PLCs provide space for teachers to deepen knowledge of math content and instructional practices alongside peer educators - with an intentional emphasis on infusing more joy and relevance in math class. PLCs are expertly facilitated by Coaches and staff who customize sessions for each district, with agendas developed based on district and teacher needs.
PLCs typically occur monthly and are held in-person or virtually based on scheduling needs. In between synchronous sessions, teachers have access to an online professional learning platform that allows them to extend PLC discussions and exchange ideas and resources with Coaches, staff, and a network of peer educators.
Recent PLCs focused on the following topics:
- Designing and Implementing Small Group Math Instruction in grades K-8
- Utilizing Available Data to Inform Math Instruction
- Incorporating Review While Pushing Forward in Math Curriculum
