The work of the Adult Numeracy Center at AV°ÍÊ¿ is informed by the body of research on adult learning, adults\u2019 use of math in and out of school, and on children\u2019s mathematical thinking development. We take a research-based approach in our work, collaborating with educators, partners, and evaluators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional development<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our professional development projects and workshops are appropriate for teachers of all levels and experience \u2014whether they have a strong math background or have some math anxiety of their own! Our goal is to inspire math learning with an emphasis on meaning. Our professional development offerings provide opportunities for teachers to foster conceptual understanding, improve reasoning and justification skills, and to share experiences with peers. We model effective teaching strategies while helping practitioners build their own skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can custom-design our professional development for targeted, content-based workshops or help programs and states create initiatives that put in place a sustainable, long-term model to support both teachers and administrators. Learn more about the options by visiting Our Projects<\/a> and PD Support<\/a> pages.
