Who we are
We partner with teachers and instructional leaders to bring students problem- and phenomenon-based mathematics and science learning experiences. We achieve this by creating, delivering, and evaluating high-quality professional learning opportunities for mathematics and science educators. MMSLN is one of very few Illustrative Mathematics and OpenSciEd certified Professional Learning Service Partners in the United States. MMSLN’s certified facilitators are specially trained to deliver high-quality professional learning to teachers, coaches, and district leaders as they implement Illustrative Mathematics and OpenSciEd curricula.

Sample scopes of work
What are these scopes?
How we address equity
MMSLN supports teachers and leaders in ensuring positive and inclusive learning environments that students deserve. We foster a robust implementation of high-quality, OER instructional materials, including IM Math and OpenSciEd. Through professional learning, teachers enhance their identities, beliefs about students, and teaching and learning math and science. They enhance their strategies, structures, and systems to guarantee grade-level, standards-based instruction to all students and, in particular, racialized and marginalized students. Educators deepen their ability to engage students in phenomenon- and problem-based teaching and learning so that students spend most of their time engaged in high-quality equitable learning.
Why is this important?
How we build district capacity
When MMSLN partners with educators, we collaboratively assess their professional learning needs and create a progression of sustained professional learning experiences for teachers and leaders that support achieving their goals. High-quality, OER instructional materials like OpenSciEd and IM Math often require time for teachers to explore, understand, and enact the potential shifts in teaching and learning, and for leaders to inspire, motivate, and sustain these shifts. MMSLN provides PL for all teachers to embrace new and challenging instructional strategies and school leaders to confidently lead the implementation of new curricula.
Why is this important?
How we provide curriculum-aligned PL

Workshops

The district and MMSLN’s mathematics/science coordinators collaboratively identify a particular workshop offered in the IM K–12 Math™ Professional Learning catalog that attends to teacher and/or leader’s immediate needs. A workshop is a half-day learning module and half-day connected PLC to act on the learning from the module.

Coaching

The district and MMSLN’s mathematics/science coordinators collaboratively identify instructional goals for teachers. From there, we schedule individual and grade level coaching cycles to meet the goals. Coaching plans include individual, small group, and departmental rounds, focused on a particular instructional challenge or next step connected to the identified instructional goals.

PLCs

The district and MMSLN’s mathematics/science coordinators collaboratively build a PLC agenda focused on a particular instructional challenge or next step connected to teaching and learning. Together, we identify the learning goals for the PLC and ensure they are connected to prior learning while attending to advancing teacher instructional practice.

Consultations

The district and MMSLN’s mathematics/science coordinators collaboratively identify a particular instructional challenge or next step connected to teaching and learning and the implementation of the curriculum. Together, we identify the professional learning structures that are best suited to the learning; workshop, PLCs, or coaching.
