"I continue to attend events and professional development by MMSA because they are always full of positive energy and relevant, research-supported information that I can bring back to my colleagues and classroom. MMSA has encouraged me to think more deeply about the topics I'm teaching and even push my own knowledge to the next level, just what we want our students to do!"
“Our experiences with our MMSA professional learning sessions enabled us to start the important conversations that we haven’t had for a long time. Students truly are different types of learners now than in the past and we need to find ways to engage and include them in their learning.”
“MMSA runs such a good ship regarding professional development. They choose fruitful topics, they ask thought-provoking questions, and they run meetings and discussions so that you can process the material with other teachers. I've found MMSA professional development to be an efficient, effective way to become a better teacher.”
“The team at MMSA did an excellent job of scaffolding the learning for adult learners, breaking down complex concepts, and providing multiple opportunities for practice and application. As a result, I left each session feeling more confident in our ability to teach elementary mathematics and better equipped to support our students' learning and understanding. Overall, I highly recommend the professional learning sessions led by MMSA.”
"The session was awesome. I really enjoy the way it was set up. All of the advice and assistance that MMSA has given us has been wonderful. I can't wait until our next session."
"Our MMSA consultant has revitalized not only our school’s math program, but our collective enthusiasm for teaching math and empowering students to think mathematically. During a time of social and academic disruption, our professional development days and coaching sessions have taken us out of survival mode and into a realm of enriching our math pedagogy and practices."
"One of the best professional development experiences in my 20-year teaching career. We were given time to work, brainstorm, and use the expertise in the room to begin working on units and lessons so that I left feeling more prepared. My students are showing better understanding this year compared to last year, and I am moving faster through the material."
"The professional development I received through MMSA provided me with critical understanding of student-led inquiry and the power of using phenomena to spark students' curiosity. The result is that students develop agency and grow in myriad ways."
