NCSM 2023 Catherine Fosnot and Associates Presentations

Join us as we share one school’s story of a transformation from a place where mathematics was valued but seen as primarily getting answers and performing algorithms, to a community where children are empowered to be mathematicians and owners of their own learning. The principal, assistant principal, and consultant share how each of them contributed to the ongoing evolution of the teachers and their students.
