Our experience as teachers, coaches, and leaders in education has been such that our most powerful professional learning occurs when we are allowed time to collaborate with others. This is imperative to develop and sustain relationships that challenge and support our common vision of mathematics teaching and learning. These supportive relationships not only help us grow professionally, but also allow us the opportunity to alter our practice in a safe space and to deepen our understanding of mathematical content and professional pedagogy. Macomb County needs you to lead the vision with your teachers.
