St. Michael’s Country Day School, Newport RI: “We contacted Kevin in the fall as we began implementation of the Math in Focus textbook series. Kevin’s training effectively filled in the gaps left by the overview training provided by the publishers. Our teachers became far more adept at bar modeling, trying it out with students the very next week. We liked Kevin’s work so much that we have hired him as our math consultant for the next school year. His demonstration lessons with our own students have also been helpful to our teachers in the most practical ways. What makes Kevin so effective is his ability to teach and inspire, connecting with teachers and backing up his teaching with academic research and years of elementary math teaching experience. Hire Kevin! You will not be disappointed.” - Lauren Abraham, Head of Lower School, St. Michael’s Country Day School
Pulaski County, KY Public Schools: “Both days were phenomenal! Dr. Mahoney was exceptional in his delivery and interaction with the participants. Everyone walked away with new strategies for their teaching toolbox. 100+ elementary teachers and administrators are now thinking about math instruction in a new way. - Amy Polston, District Curriculum Coordinator, Pulaski County Public Schools
Model Drawing Course (TEC) Participant: “Kevin, your class (Model Drawing for Elementary Mathematics) was really quite outstanding. I’ll admit that I was daunted by the idea of spending 3 days on problem solving. You made the work meaningful, fun and interesting. I loved your calm instruction and all of the background knowledge you infused into your teaching. I am very excited to get to work with my students this fall. I hope you teach the course again” - Marybeth Wang, Grade 4 teacher, MetroWest Boston
Training Participant: “I wanted to wait until I had a chance to really try out the way you structure your lesson, as that is not how HMH does it, and it worked with my 2nd graders really well. So a big thank you for modeling it for me to see. Like many of my students, I benefit from seeing something done. HMH bothers me as the kids should draw a bar model when they see many word problems, not just in the Bar modeling chapter, and that's what I'm working on, thanks to you :)”
