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.

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.
