TESTIMONIALS
"I can see our district taking advantage from these amazing resources to fill in the gaps that their curriculum has as well as developing critical thinkers in class."
“This experience will help me push my students' thinking further and allow them the time to develop their understanding. As a coach, it will help me ask better questions of my teachers to help them focus on who is doing the thinking and learning in their classrooms.”
“[Attending the WSVMI Summer Math Coaching Institute] will impact my practice greatly. I can share resources and understanding of current math pedagogy with others as well as influencing my practice to support student learning and success on the CAASPP and critical thinking abilities.”
“This gave me so many more ideas to use with my students. I am really excited to start the year off implementing these ideas and routines we learned.”
The WestEd/SVMI Mathematics Network is primarily funded by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
