Elevating math teacher expectations to ensure inclusive and equitable
6-12 math classrooms through innovative PD and transformational coaching.

Here's the thing...

Students are failing math (especially Algebra) at alarming rates, particularly our Black and Brown students as well as students with IEPs. Current PD offerings lack actual experience with these populations and offer out of touch strategies that are not relevant for math teachers to implement.

 

Teachers need:

  • Tips, resources, and approaches that have been classroom tested with students who struggle

  • To experience and participate in instructional strategies

  • Ongoing Support as they implement new strategies

 

I provide the only comprehensive professional development and coaching program designed to help 6th-12th grade math and SPED teachers successfully increase engagement, belonging, and mathematical understanding so that every student can find success in mathematics.

Training Topics I Offer

Math Engagement Strategies

Gradual Release of Responsibility

Math Classroom Culture Building 

Standards Based Grading

Equitable Math Participation

Grading for Equity

Textbook Adoption Organization and Support

Math Leadership Coaching

Instructional Coaching

Juliana is an amazing math consultant that has brought new ideas and immediate math strategies our department could implement. She customized the workshop to the needs of our students and teachers. All strategies were focused on student engagement and very simple to monitor as a teacher. I am grateful that our school district has found a math consultant who took the time to understand our school, students, and teachers.

"It is evident that our teachers are growing in their practice and confidence as they find her services beneficial and practical. I am thrilled with the results and I look forward to seeing these positive results in adult practice impact students learning at high levels.  I am very impressed with Juliana's level of professionalism and follow through, as well as the transparency of her work.  It is evident that she loves what she does and has a deep understanding of the content, pedagogy and adult learning theory."
