Foundations of Math for Leaders:

Tuesday, February 24, 2026

Event Setting

Virtual

Despite best intentions, many efforts to improve math outcomes fall short, resulting in inconsistent instruction, overwhelmed educators, and students who continue to struggle, especially those with disabilities or significant learning gaps. Across a range of settings from elementary classrooms to CTE
programs and adult education, educators are often expected to teach or support math without the deep content knowledge or training they need. This leads to missed learning opportunities, persistent misconceptions, and reduced confidence for both students and staff.

This event is designed for educational leaders ready to improve math outcomes. We’ll explore:

  • Why learners struggle with math
  • How strengthening teachers’ math content knowledge leads to more confident, relevant instruction
  • What system supports need to be in place to ensure effective implementation

Participants will learn how the Foundations of Math (FoM) professional learning opportunity helps educators deepen their math knowledge and deliver accessible instruction. Leaders will gain practical strategies to build a system that supports both teachers and students in succeeding across all programs.

Who is this for:

  • ISD and District Curriculum Leaders
  • Career and Technical Education Leaders
  • Adult Education Directors
  • Special Education Administrators
  • Elementary & Secondary Administrators

Why attend:

  • You’re dissatisfied with current math outcomes and know something needs to change.
  • You’re looking for clear direction to improve math instruction across programs.
  • You prioritize equity and want all learners, including those with disabilities, to access meaningful math learning.
  • You want to strengthen teachers’ math understanding so they can deliver more confident, relevant instruction.
  • You’re seeking sustainable, systemwide solutions.
  • You’re interested in professional learning designed specifically for leaders.
