The Workshops
Two Workshops That Change How You Teach
Self-paced, math-first, and built from real classrooms. Take them on your schedule and revisit any module all year long.
Workshop 01
Unlocking Curiosity
Follow the journey from dreading work every day to crying when it was time to leave the classroom—and the key changes that got me there. Changes anyone can make.
3 Act Math, from setup to the big reveal
The 5 Practices for productive conversations
Simple twists that turn routine problems into engaging moments
Snapshots of everyday teaching and effective learning strategies
Workshop 02
Standards-Based Grading
Content is crucial—but so is an assessment system that aligns with your values: student thinking, engagement, and less point-grabbing. Explore the entire system over a full school year.
A compelling vision, and how it works across the year
Building concept checklists and quizzes—and grading them well
Integrating grades into a traditional gradebook
A workable retake policy and how to review quizzes with your class
One membership unlocks both workshops—and every parent and student course—for a single price.
Self-Paced
Take it on your schedule and revisit any module during the year.
Math-First
Every strategy comes from a real Algebra 1 or Geometry classroom.
Ready to Use
Leave each module with something you can try in class tomorrow.
