OUR STORY
The FIRST Education Math Center was developed to support educators in their implementation of high quality and high impact math instruction in order to meet the needs of today’s math learners. Math instruction has changed from traditional more procedural knowledge to requiring students to construct viable arguments, solve problems using multiple strategies and collaborate with each other which require a conceptual understanding of mathematics today. This is a vast pedagogical shift from how most teachers were taught to teach math. Our entire team of math consultants are currently in roles just like yours. We understand the challenges schools face today in educating our math learners. We have a proven track record of success in implementing high quality curriculum and instruction, coaching and achieving desirable student outcomes. We will work to develop and strengthen your math pedagogy by listening, collaboration, and working alongside you and your team to create a high quality, high impact math environment by providing practical and meaningful support to your teachers and leaders to bring about real sustainable change.
MISSION
The FIRST Education Math Center provides training, coaching, resources and support to leaders and teachers so that math instruction is systemically aligned and intentionally designed in order to improve student learning for ALL students.
VISION
The FIRST Education Math Center will develop teachers and leaders to have confidence in their math skills and implement math best practices to provide opportunity for all students to experience high levels of growth and achievement.
