Professional Development

We support schools committed to making grade-level, problem-based math instruction accessible to every student.

Through on-site and virtual workshops, we help teams implement a clear instructional structure grounded in learning science.

Implementation Training

When schools adopt the Proficiency Project Framework, we recommend structured Implementation Training for teachers and school leaders.

This training ensures the framework is applied consistently and intentionally across classrooms.

Implementation Training for Teachers and School Leaders

Includes five 90-minute sessions*:

  1. The Framework, Standards Deconstruction, and Lesson Design: An overview of the instructional model and how to break down standards into teachable, skill-aligned lessons.

  2. Math Facts, Procedural Fluency, and Student Confidence: Building daily fluency systems that strengthen automaticity, protect prior learning, and improve student confidence.

  3. Skill Focus & Explicit Instruction: Designing and delivering clear, structured lessons that make problem-based content accessible to struggling learners.

  4. Guided Instruction & Addressing Misconceptions: Using purposeful questioning and modeling to identify misunderstandings and support students during practice.

  5. Independent Practice & Responsive Planning: Aligning independent work to lesson objectives and using student evidence to inform next steps.

* Implementation Training for Teachers and School Leaders can also be consolidated into two full-day professional development workshops.

Implementation for School Leaders

Includes three 60-minutes sessions:

  1. Building a School-wide Math Vision: Establishing a shared understanding of structured math instruction and aligning expectations across grade levels.

  2. Observing for Instructional Clarity: Learning how to identify explicit instruction, fluency routines, and aligned practice during walkthroughs and coaching conversations.

  3. Data, Feedback, and Implementation Planning: Using student evidence and classroom observation data to support teachers, strengthen consistency, and guide school-wide planning.

Custom Workshops for Schools

Targeted professional development built around your school’s instructional goals.

We design workshops focused on high-impact areas of the Proficiency Project framework: including fluency, explicit instruction, guided practice, synthesis, data-driven planning, and classroom management.

Every training is tailored to your grade levels, curriculum, and student data to ensure immediate classroom impact.
