The Kentucky Center for Mathematics provides high quality training and sustained support to allow Mathematics Coaches to:

Grow Professionally

Mathematics coaches develop and refine their identity as both a mediator of thinking and as a mathematics education leader.   

Build Capacity

Mathematics coaches design professional learning opportunities for teachers which employ dialogue that generates thinking and reflection about mathematical content and pedagogy.

Create Community

Mathematics coaches work with groups of teachers and administrators to build a professional learning community focused on the creation of a shared vision for reaching student learning goals in mathematics. 

Our Training Partners
Mathematics coaches work to create the culture of professional learning and reflection on practice that are necessary for teachers to make the school-wide improvements in mathematics instruction that result in increased student achievement. The coach’s role is complex and demanding, requiring knowledge and expertise in mathematics teaching, interpersonal relationships, adult learning, and systemic change. The coach’s role is also continuously evolving as coaches navigate change within their school organizations and grow professionally in their partnerships with teachers. We’ve joined with the quality training programs below to prepare and support our coaches in this challenging and rewarding work.

The Center for Cognitive Coaching will conduct an 8-day Foundation Seminar for our Freshman Mathematics Coaches and a 2-day Proficiency Module for our Senior Mathematics Coaches.  Cognitive Coaching^SM is the coaching model we have adopted in Kentucky for our mathematics coaches.

The Center for Adaptive Schools will conduct a 4-day training for our Senior Mathematics Coaches.  The Adaptive Schools trainings builds upon group coaching skills providing coaches with the necessary skills to help develop and support a collaborative culture.
