Professional Development Support
We create and coordinate aligned & sustainable math improvement plans.
So that you can create long term sustainable student success in mathematics and proficiently & pedagogically strong educators.
Step 1: Book a Call with Kyle & Jon
Book a free discovery call with our District Improvement Team.
We know booking a call takes up a valuable time slot on your already busy calendars which is why on your call will help to remove something from your plate instead of adding something new to your plate.
Step 2: Attend your call.
On your call you'll:
- design customized, actionable, achievable recommendations that consider your districts unique conditions and constraints.
- get a clear step by step process to craft and create a PD action plan for your district so you can stop throwing spaghetti at the walls each year to see what sticks.
- learn the most important component your PD action plan needs to include so that students can maximize their reach and how to embed that component in your action plans.
- learn a systematized approach to rolling out your action plan on a limited budget so you can hit your key results by your due dates.
Step 3: Take Action
After the call:
-
Feel confident that your plan for math learning in this school year and the next is Clear, Measurable, Sustainable, and will Drive Student Achievement.
-
Know the most important component of an effective math program you will need to direct focus, attention, and resources.
-
In 180 days you won't be looking back on the year and wonder if your plan had any effect. You'll know it did.
We parter with schools and school districts to build easily implementable math action plans for sustainable improvement
How We’ve Helped Schools and Districts Just Like Yours
“The difference is night and day”
“With the guidance from the Make Math Moments District Improvement Program this is the first year we’ve had a clear, connected, impactful professional development plan where our teachers see a pathway to an improved math classroom.”
West Carrollton School District, Ohio
“Working with Jon and Kyle has given us a different perspective by challenging our thinking. They encourage us to take action steps based on our conversations and then follow up with us on those actions. Being math leaders is a lonely job and they validate the work that we are doing as well as coach us into better leaders.”
Katy Independent School District, Texas
“The coaching conversations with Jon and Kyle have really helped push us to keep momentum on our focus and how we can make the changes we need to in math instruction in our District. The questioning from Jon and Kyle are all instrumental in really giving us the tools and ideas we need to drive the work.”
Galloway Township Public Schools, New Jersey
Kyle and Jon have established themselves as a go-to pair for thoughtful and interesting math lessons.
Their attention to the critical nature of building curiosity and the importance of thoughtful planning resonate with me. It is great that they have provided so many examples and a structure in which to create lessons.
I strongly encourage all educators who teach mathematics at some point in their timetable to consider participating in this engaging professional development experience to move your practice to the next level.
Kyle and Jon are on a mission to change how students experience math by ditching those forgettable “I do, we do, you do” lessons and crafting moments that students will remember.
Curious students WANT to learn and are EAGER to tackle that next challenging problem. Let Kyle and Jon show you how to spark curiosity on a daily basis.
Their three step framework can help any teacher make small changes that result in big wins!
What we're hearing from schools & districts across North America:
We're seeing pockets of success around our organization, but struggling to bring sustainable, lasting systemic change.
We did a lot of work in mathematics, but we aren't seeing the results we had hoped for and student achievement has NOT changed.
We feel like we have many of the necessary pieces, but we aren't clear on how to put them together to form an effective math program.
We're producing too many 'answer-getters' and not enough adaptive reasoners and problem solvers.
If these statements sound like they came from your school or district then book a call with us and we'll guide you on how to clarify measurable goals that drive student acheivement.
How many days are you willing to lose?
There are only 180 days in a typical school year, so of course time is valuable. If your organization is not taking steps to craft and align specific goals now, then it is likely that next year at this time you’ll be still wondering how you’re going to make the changes and shifts you need to make to improve your mathematics program.
Swap Confusion For Clarity & Alignment
Without a clear, concise and well-communicated mathematics vision and a sustainable professional development plan rooted in relevant, attainable, research-based and measurable goals, your teachers will continue to work on disconnected pieces of effective mathematics instruction that can only lead to pockets of success instead of systemic change in mathematics teaching practice and student achievement.
We parter with schools and school districts to build easily implementable math action plans for sustainable improvement
Build sustainable professional development with a customized improvement plan while strengthening the six key components of an effective math program so you can create math moments in every classroom.

How Our Program Works
We support districts and schools in the development and implementation of a 4-stage strategic mathematics professional improvement plan.
We Support What Matters For Sustainable Math Improvement
Stage 1: Design & Measure
After Completing Stage 1 you will:
-
have a clarified and unified vision for mathematics that captures what is essential in learning mathematics in your district or school so that all key stakeholders are aligned;
-
know the three most important objectives to focus your pd efforts for the next 3 years;
-
have a set of measurable key results that will act as targets to ensure you remain focused on what matters for effective mathematics instruction; and,
-
a clear pd action plan outlined with our tracking and progress system so you not miss key milestones.
Stage 2: Optimize & Sustain
After Completing Stage 2 you will:
-
have undergone an audit by Kyle and Jon of your district’s existing processes, systems, pd models, structures, and resources so you can understand which are essential and which are impeding your progress;
-
learned and applied what models best support your objectives and can operate under your district or schools unique constraints; and,
-
implemented systems to create sustainable and scaleable models of support so your action plans run on auto- pilot.
Stage 3 & 4: Build Capacity & Inspire
After Completing Stage 3 & 4 you will:
-
have supported teachers in strengthening their conceptual understanding of mathematics around their use of appropriate models and strategies that stretch vertically across grade levels;
-
have created targeted support around the one key area that drives the most change in teacher pedagogical practice;
-
have built a system for the three (3) essential components that create teacher “buy-in”.
