Build stronger mathematics instruction through collaboration, reflection, and practical application. The Math Collaborative Series brings educators together to examine common instructional challenges, share effective practices, and explore strategies that increase student engagement, reasoning, responsiveness, retention, and fluency.
Each session stands on its own, while the full series offers continued opportunities to collaborate with peers, exchange ideas, and strengthen instruction across the year.
Audience: Teachers, Instructional Coaches, and Curriculum Directors | Time: 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Academic Content Coop and Tyler ISD Content Coop members attend FREE.
