Title: Mathematics Teacher Leadership Academy---FULL
Description: Grounded in the belief that all teachers are leaders of their own professional growth, this academy prepares teacher leaders to:
Master PLC Fundamentals: Implement proven components of effective school-based professional learning communities.
Refine Math Pedagogy: Use research-based "Productive Teaching Routines" to build shared understanding of student learning.
Facilitate Collaborative Growth: Support colleagues and teacher candidates using practice-based tools and "co-learning protocols" to foster a culture of reflection.
Advance Equity: Utilize co-learning cycles and "co-noticing" to disrupt inequitable participation and center diverse student contributions.
Inquire & Analyze: Use collaborative protocols to evaluate the relationship between teaching actions, cognitive demand, and student engagement.
Mentor Future Educators: Host and mentor OSU-Cascades Teacher Candidates through modeling, co-teaching, and instructional debriefing.
Dates: 2 year program starting in summer 2026
Locations: TBD
Credits: total of 17 credits

Title: Equitable and Mathematically Productive Engagement K-12
During this 3-day seminar, participants will “do math” with colleagues, analyze classroom tools and artifacts, and discuss readings as contexts for sense making about current and historically important research on effective mathematics classrooms – with particular emphasis on instruction that fosters the development of mathematically productive student mindsets and engagement. You will gain research-based teaching tools, structures, and strategies designed specifically to:
Align with research on student motivation and engagement and how students learn math
Support every student in developing a growth mindset (Dweck) as a mathematician: “With effort I can understand and achieve in math.”
Support you in recognizing and eliminating status issues known to inhibit mathematics learning
Assure that every student engages in powerful mathematical habits of mind and habits of interaction – with particular emphasis on conjecturing, justifying, and generalizing
Foster achievement of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics Content and Mathematical Practice
Increase the mathematical quality and cognitive level of every student’s engagement
This course deepens and extends many ideas explored in the seminar, Best Practices in Teaching Mathematics: How Math Teaching Matters, while introducing new perspectives and practices that support fine-tuning your teaching to maximize student engagement and learning.
Dates: August 26-28,2026
Locations: Pine Ridge Elementary
Credits: optional 2 graduate credits
