Services
First things first. I will customize my work to meet your precise needs. On this page, you can see some of the general services I offer, but each and every client of mine gets a tailored package of services and presentations. Hopefully, this will give you some ideas, but contact me to help you turn those ideas into practical plans to meet your goals.

Teacher Training Seminars
Research has proven that Singaporean-influenced math programs are effective only when teachers have been well trained in both mathematics content and Singaporean pedagogy. I typically recommend a 2-3 day training course for schools new to implementing Singaporean mathematics. I focus the training on introducing teachers to the unique visual teaching techniques made famous in Singapore and the major differences between typical U.S. curricula and Singaporean approaches. My goal is for teachers to leave the training feeling confident and enthusiastic about the new curriculum without feeling overwhelmed. Most schools also schedule follow-up visits or online coaching for me to observe or coach their teachers during the school year and answer practical questions as they arise in practice.

Teacher Coaching
Training Seminars provide a good foundation for implementation. Much of the real learning for teachers occurs during that first 3 years of implementation. Most of my client schools schedule follow-up visits or online coaching for me to work with their teachers during the school year and answer new questions as they arise in practice. Visiting a school allows me to observe teachers as they work, deliver demonstration lessons, meet with grade level teams, and collaborate with building administrators.
Coaching Online with video, voice and screen sharing
Online coaching is not quite as effective as having me visit your school, but it does provide a lower cost option to schools not in New England. Online coaching allows me to meet the individual needs of teachers in a private environment where they feel free to ask any question and work on individual goals. Schools can schedule individual appointments for teachers or they order a discounted package of online sessions for their teachers.

Student Support
All schools have a few students who land somewhere outside the typical parameters of classroom instruction. Client schools use me to help support these students through online tutorial sessions, usually offered after school hours. I work with children using video, voice and shared whiteboard where we can connect with each other and watch each other work. This model has proven effective for students who require further enrichment or support than the school can give during the academic day. Just like with the online teacher coaching service, schools schedule appointments for students or buy packages of tutorial sessions at a discount ahead of time.
