View Course Details
This course supports math teacher leadership knowledge and skill development through investigations of practice, reflections, design, and implementation of programs oriented to address dynamic contextual school situations. Using research-based frameworks for teacher leadership development, we explore strategies to drive school improvement efforts in mathematics teaching, learning, and school culture. Students engage with collaborative and system-based approaches for timely, relevant, data-informed, and sustainable mathematics education improvement. The course is designed for math teachers and administrators interested in formal and informal coaching and mentoring of math teachers, the design and facilitation of professional development experiences for math teachers, and transformational leadership in mathematics education.
