Our Professional Development follows these foundational principles:

Teachers learn best from other teachers

We seek to build community and elevate teacher voice in our programming.

There are multiple pathways to success

We encourage and aim to show case multiple ways of using ASSISTments and it’s flexibility to support different instructional models.

Teachers learn in progressions

Not all of our users are in the same place, and therefore one-size-fits all PD won’t work. We seek to design experiences that build on one another and meet the needs of all user levels.

Equity Is The Goal

We aim to support teachers with leveraging ASSISTments to hold high expectations and provide exceptional math learning opportunities to all students.

Assistments Is A Bridge To Evidence-Based Practice

We seek to highlight how ASSISTments reinforces effective math teaching practices and to support great instruction, as well as builds a growth mindset.
