On Wednesday, April 22nd, the Connecticut Noyce Math Teacher Leaders presented at the Connecticut Council of Leaders of Mathematics (CCLM) meeting with the session title “Strengthening Math Education Through Teacher Leadership.” The Fellows shared their leadership trajectories and facilitated discussion on how the role of teacher leadership can be fostered in all participants’ districts. Then, Fellows supported the critical thinking component of how to leverage experienced secondary math teachers’ power to strengthen mathematics education across Connecticut.

Why does this matter? Math teacher leadership is critical for advancing a stronger, more equitable mathematics education in Connecticut. Currently, it is an underdeveloped resource. Districts can strengthen instruction and math programming by fostering math teacher leadership and retaining experienced teachers in the classroom. Too often, math teachers feel they must leave the classroom to have a greater impact.
