To recognize the importance of embracing the key role of a Math Leadership Team
To understand the power of a Vertical- Math Professional Learning Team
“What would it be like to work in a culture that encourages teachers to work together regularly on cutting-edge instruction and personal growth?”
“What would happen if teachers worked collectively to increase their capability and update and change teaching practices?”

Why?
I am learning lots of great research-based strategies in my learning team! I am always excited to come back to the
classroom and try them. We have great discussions about how the strategies can be used at a variety of grade levels. I also
have a better understanding of school-wide needs and what students are
expected to do at all grade levels. Overall, I feel like our PLT meetings help me grow
professionally, and I can truly say I am learning from my fellow teachers.
