If we wish to finally succeed in improving student achievement in mathematics, we need to think deeply
about what mathematics is and how it is best learned, to take a careful look at our own relationship with
mathematics. In this session, you will learn about a collaborative professional learning structure designed
to build students’ mathematical identities and agency as teacher teams strengthen their relationships
with mathematics and expand their instructional expertise. Based on the book Power Up Your Math
Community: A 10-Month Practice-Based Professional Learning Guide, Holly and Sue will show you how
to upgrade your school’s mathematics program while growing collective efficacy among educators.
