The project will involve teacher leaders from district schools in three layers of learning:

• Mathematics Leadership Cadre (MLC): Develop leadership knowledge and practices for a core cadre of teacher leaders to design and present professional learning to colleagues.
• Mathematics Leadership Team (MLT): Engage in ongoing learning about research-based math instructional practices through book study groups and lesson study cycles. Select, adapt, and develop resources to support effective classroom instruction.
• Mathematics Professional Learning Coursework: Deepen teachers’/leaders’ math content and pedagogical knowledge through graduate courses.

The project hypothesis is that supporting teacher leaders’ ongoing professional learning and the subsequent implementation of that learning will increase students’ understanding and achievement in mathematics and support the (re)visioning of the collaborative professional work within schools.
