Making Math Curriculum Count w/ Dr. Danielle Buhrman, Andrea Hermance, & Danielle Dudo

"We have to be analyzers and problem solvers. So the 'how' that we're trying to create [with math] really help support teachers in the experiences we need to put in front of kids so that they [students] are having to grapple with that a little bit." 

Math deserves a better reputation. 

Dr. Buhrman, GIPS Math Curriculum & Academic Coach Coordinator, is on a mission to give Math the spotlight it deserves.  And it starts in every GIPS classroom featuring Math education with one simple concept:  We Are Mathematicians.

But she’s not along in that mission.  Dr. Buhrman is supported by a number of incredible teachers across the district to help champion math education making it meaningful and enriching for all students.

And that’s where we enter the conversation.

Dr. Buhrman and two other Math-minded Elementary Educators, Danielle Dudo & Andrea Hermance, join The GPS Cast to share the details on our upcoming Math curriculum pilot, how the district is navigating the need to update Math materials, and why GIPS is committed to give Math a better reputation.

Because it's all about teaching students that everything is figure-out-able.
