Mathematics Coaching

Service Description

Martin Consulting provides math teachers with professional development to deepen their knowledge and understanding of mathematics. Our coaches encourage collaborative discussions and problem solving to plan lessons, build content knowledge, anticipate or analyze student responses, prepare purposeful questions, explore manipulatives, select mathematics goals, and analyze the rigor and quality of mathematics activities. During training sessions, coaches facilitate conversations centered on examining student work samples to identify student understanding and misconceptions, develop a shared understanding of student conceptualization of a mathematics topic, and inform the next instructional steps. The coach and teacher work collaboratively to purposefully plan interactions to maximize student learning and implement specific practices to enhance instruction and increase student learning.
