2025 Elevated Teaching Summit

Too many students (and adults!) believe they just aren’t “math people.” But what if we could change that? This session is all about breaking the myth of fixed math ability and transforming classrooms into spaces where every student sees themselves as a capable mathematician.

We’ll explore practical, research-based strategies to build math confidence, foster a growth mindset, and engage students in meaningful mathematical thinking. Through hands-on activities, real-world connections, and collaborative problem-solving, participants will learn how to create a math classroom where struggle is celebrated, thinking is valued, and success is accessible to all. Walk away with ready-to-use strategies that empower students, spark curiosity, and make math a subject where everyone belongs.
