The 21 Days to be a Better Math Teacher is for all teachers interested in improving their skills as a math teacher.

Each day you will receive a short training, some resources, and a challenge to help you improve your instructional delivery, remediation, differentiation, learning environment, classroom management, student engagement, parent communication, and more.

Restore joy to your teaching again. When your students are engaged, being challenged at their level, seeing and celebrating their growth, they will be better behaved and grasp more of the material that you are presenting.

In our 21 Days to Be a Better Math Teacher challenge, we will learn strategies to reduce time spent in class off task and increase time spent learning the material. We will discuss strategies to help your students be more engaged and improve your learning environment. And we will get resources that will help us differentiate our instruction so that we are effectively remediating all of our students.

Picture This:

Your students come to class in a timely manner and begin their math work without being prompted or reminded and without incident.

How would it feel if your students enjoyed their math class with you, and looked forward to mastering the next skill – and you enjoyed your time with them? Not just because a lot was being learned, and they were growing, but because you genuinely enjoyed your time in class together.

Imagine if every student in the room was being reached at their level, and accelerating as they mastered one skill at a time until they obtained mastery of the grade level skills. What would it look like if they could see their success and you celebrated their accomplishments?

What would it be like if you reduced classroom management issues to almost none while increasing time spent practicing math concepts – using effective methods that helped students better grasp the material?

I’ve been there

I once was an ineffective math teacher. I looked at a room full of disinterested, unengaged students who had checked out. They weren’t motivated to learn, they didn’t feel successful, and they weren’t making progress. As a result, classroom management suffered, test scores were bad, parents were upset, and I was frustrated.

But as I learned many of these strategies to engage my students and reduce discipline issues I became more effective. My students’ scores were phenomenal, my classroom management excelled, and I rediscovered my joy for teaching.

I was also promoted, repeatedly, until I became an administrator.

You can have these same successes. Journey with me on this 21 Day Challenge to Be a Better Math Teacher.

What’s in the course

The online course consists of 21 different strategies to help you improve your effectiveness as a math teacher. It could be related to instructional delivery, classroom management, improving your learning environment, or a few other things that will help you fine-tune your craft.

Each day’s challenge has a video with a short tutorial and a challenge. You will also receive resources such as worksheets, posters, downloads, and links to other articles to help you accomplish the challenge that has been set before you.

Who is This Class For?

This 21 Day Challenge is for any math teacher who wants to improve their craft. Whether you need some fine tuning or a major overhaul, this course has strategies and resources for you. New teachers and veteran teachers alike can benefit from this Challenge, and I hope you will join me.

Must it be completed in 21 Days?

No. Once enrolled you can go through the challenges at your own pace. Each of the 21 strategies will be open to you for as long as you like. But each strategy is designed to be implemented in one day – so you CAN complete it in 21 school days if you like.
