Patterns engages teachers with pragmatic strategies for practical use. Our highly experiential program models best practices teachers can implement immediately.
Power of peers
Patterns helps foster community among participants during live sessions and asynchronous interactions. Teachers are welcomed into a fellowship of like-minded math educators, ready to offer mentorship and peer support.
How is Patterns delivered?
Patterns blends self- and group-paced activities—always with opportunities for learning with peers—over the course of a semester with:
- Synchronous coursework, where an expert guides participants through mathematical tasks, thinking, application, and reflection.
- Asynchronous coursework, where participants study professional reading selections, review student work, apply learning, and develop learner stories on their own schedule
- On-demand, one-on-one coaching sessions available by appointment every three weeks throughout the course.
Patterns participants can expect to:
- Engage as active virtual learners via discussion boards and coaching sessions.
- Solve hands-on, cognitively demanding mathematical tasks.
- Participate in rich mathematical discourse with a community of math educators who empower one another, exchange expertise, and give actionable feedback.
- Make connections across grade-level standards within their mathematical focus area.
- Reflect on their own understanding of mathematics and classroom practice.
- Use a variety of virtual instructional strategies.
- Receive optional continuing education units or graduate credit.
