NC2ML

The North Carolina Collaborative for Mathematics Learning (NC2ML) is a community of educators and leaders aiming for high quality and equitable math instruction for each and every student in North Carolina. During the 2023-2024 academic year NC2ML is holding special events and sharing resources co-designed by NC educators for NC educators, leaders, and families. 

• Join us for the NCDPI Elementary Math Content Series on February 8 at 4 p.m. to engage in conversation about The Path to Proficiency and April 11 at 4 p.m. for Envisioning the Elementary Mathematics Classroom. We also invite NC districts to send teams to a leadership retreat at NCCAT on March 4-7, 2024, where teams will work collaboratively to learn more about high-quality equitable mathematics instruction, to develop and align a district-wide vision of mathematics instruction, and to plan for implementation. Reserve your spot now!

• Join the high school students, teachers, leaders, and administrators across North Carolina who are working on making math classrooms more engaging and equitable spaces by focusing on a discourse move each month. In February we are highlighting “Encouraging In-Progress Thinking”. Join us for the NCDPI High School Content and Pedagogy Series on February 13th at 3:30 PM to learn more.
