About the Pathway
Math educators are trying to deepen their understanding of math standards, deal with the effects of unfinished instruction from previous grades, and counter students’ negative views of math. The Math pathway equips teachers with the beliefs, knowledge, and actions they need to foster positive math identities and implement GLEAM math instruction for all students. In the two-day Summit experience, participants learn how to set up a math lesson that inspires and challenges all students.
Create classrooms of capable, confident math students.

By the end of two days, participants will be able to:
- Use the math instructional shifts of focus, coherence, and rigor to support GLEAM math instruction.
- Foster a positive math identity in themselves and their students.
- Experience equitable math instruction through a model lesson and Math Language Routines.
