Math Goal 3 – Increase capacity of teacher leaders to support CCSS-Mathematics professional learning.

“One of the most important ideas that I encountered is your constant modeling of quality teaching strategies. Another would be the time my teachers are given to learn from each other.  The “math” thinking and sharing will help the teachers be more comfortable in their classrooms.” ~ Principal
