How To Convert Math PD Into Classroom Action
Manage episode 480035769 series 2471185
As a K-12 math coordinator, coach, leader are you constantly collecting resources, leading PD, and chasing the next big idea—only to wonder if any of it is actually changing classroom practice?
If you're a math coach, coordinator, or administrator who feels stuck in a loop of sharing best practices without seeing those practices transferred consistently into the classroom, this episode dives into the heart of that struggle. Kyle Pearce, Yvette Lehman, and Jon Orr confront a challenge many leaders face: how to balance continuous learning with focused implementation. When every new initiative feels urgent, how do you know when it's time to stop gathering and start doing?
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why more math PD doesn't always equal more impact—and how to recognize the tipping point.
- A smarter approach to setting math goals that actually result in classroom change.
- How to build coordinated support systems in mathematics that turn professional learning into real-world results.
If you’re ready to move from overwhelmed to intentional leadership, press play and let’s reimagine how math professional learning should really work.
