Five Leadership Moves That Transform Mathematics Classrooms

December 15, 2025

Every school has its own story of how math instruction evolves, and strong leadership is what transforms those stories into lasting student success. This session introduces five essential leadership practices, grounded in research, that help schools strengthen math instruction and improve student outcomes.

Drawing on a five-year research partnership with a top university, our team studied thousands of mathematics implementations across various contexts to ensure student growth in mathematics. From this work, we’ve identified five leadership moves most critical for driving system-wide improvement. Participants will hear stories from district leaders, building administrators, teachers, and students; engage with data that brings these leadership moves to life; and leave with concrete strategies to lead meaningful change in their own school systems.

During this session, educators will:

  • Identify five essential leadership practices that support inclusive and equitable math instruction
  • Examine data and stories from teachers, students, and leaders to showcase how these leadership moves have driven system-wide improvement
  • Apply concrete strategies to lead mathematics change efforts that elevate teacher practice and student agency
  • Explore tools and resources that support sustainable, equity-driven improvement in mathematics teaching and learning
  • Collaborate with peers to plan practical next steps for leading change
