Math Leader Collaborative

Professional Learning

The Math Leader Collaborative (MLC) is a semester-long virtual program designed specifically for instructional school teams that will redefine the way you approach leading and supporting mathematics in your building.

Whether you're already comfortable with math or feel uncertain, the MLC will equip you and your team with the right tools and techniques to unpack your math identities and become stronger leaders in math instruction. Embrace this opportunity to transform your math leadership and shape a future where all students thrive in mathematics by supporting teachers in providing grade-level, engaging, affirming, and meaningful (GLEAM™) math instruction for all students.

Who Should Attend the Math Leader Collaborative

Option A - School/Classroom Culture Focus is suitable for K-8 school-based math instructional leaders (such as principals, assistant principals, instructional coaches, teacher leaders, etc.)
Option B - Professional Learning Communities (PLC) Focus is suitable for K-12 school-based math instructional leaders (such as principals, assistant principals, instructional coaches, teacher leaders, etc.)

Throughout the experience, school teams will:

Engage in critical conversations about the math identities of leaders, teachers, and students, resulting in shifts that improve mathematical outcomes for students.
Leverage classroom culture structures to enhance the state of GLEAM™ math instruction in their school.
Employ a coaching tool that supports teachers in delivering GLEAM math instruction.

Participants will leave the training better able to:

Recognize the impact of math identity on the instruction students receive.
Apply key components of GLEAM math instruction to effectively observe and provide feedback for an optimal student experience in mathematics.
Leverage classroom culture structures to improve the state of GLEAM math instruction in their schools.

Throughout the experience, school teams will:

Engage in critical conversations about math instruction planning, practices, and mindsets, compelling a shift of the current professional learning communities (PLC) structures in favor of more equitable math instruction and outcomes for students.
Leverage PLC to enhance, reinforce, and sustain GLEAM™ math instruction across all math classrooms.
Develop and employ a math PLC plan aligned to GLEAM to guide and assist teachers in planning and delivering GLEAM math instruction.

Participants will leave the training better able to:

Recognize GLEAM math instructional practices.
Apply key components of GLEAM-aligned professional learning communities (PLC) to plan and deliver an optimal student experience in mathematics effectively.
Leverage PLC structures to improve the state of GLEAM math instruction in their schools.

Program Components

Cohort Program Components are Virtual Learning Experience, Cross-Pollination, and Asynchronous Learning Experience

Math Leader Collaborative is:

a collaborative space for a school team to work on a problem of practice related to equitable instructional practice.
an interactive, four-month experience that includes virtual sessions, cross-pollination time with school teams across the cohort, and asynchronous learning.

Math Leader Collaborative is not:

an individual learning experience.
a “sit and get” professional development space.

Math Leader Collaborative Add-On:

Learning Walks

MLC schools can have an UnboundEd team conduct a Learning Walk, a two or three-day process that includes:

Professional learning focused on deepening GLEAM™ knowledge.
Data collection around your problem of practice by observing math classrooms using our Equitable Instruction Observation Tool.
Action planning, grounded in the data from the learning walk.
A follow-up report sharing the data, trends, and recommendations from the visit.
