Teaching Mindset Mathematics Across the Grades
with Jo Boaler

from 8:30 – 3:00

Medinah Shrine Center, Addison, IL

Recent years have seen an explosion of scientific evidence showing that there is a different way to teach and learn mathematics. When people take a “mindset mathematics” approach in all grades, different pathways open up, leading to higher, and more equitable achievement. A mindset mathematics approach involves teaching math(s) as a conceptual subject, highlighting the connections between ideas, giving students mindset messages as they learn.
During this workshop, Jo Boaler, along with Cathy Williams, will be highlighting new evidence of the learning practices that separate low and high achieving students, and the teaching ideas that can help all students achieve highly. The topics we will address include number sense, algebra and data literacy across the grades. We will see videos of the approaches in action, learn the research behind the approaches, and work together on mathematics in these ways.
The content of this workshop is applicable across all grade levels. The target audience includes, but is not limited to:
- classroom teachers of mathematics
- math/instructional coaches
- directors of teaching and learning
- building leadership teams
- building/district administrators
Jo Boaler, the Nomellini-Olivier Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Education, is a leading advocate for innovative teaching methods in mathematics. With a focus on improving mathematical understanding and equity in education, her work emphasizes the importance of flexible thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative learning. Dr. Boaler is also the co-founder and faculty director of youcubed, a Stanford center that offers mathematics education resources to teachers, students, and parents. She is one of the original authors of the California Department of Education’s Mathematics Framework that was adopted in 2023. Jo has authored numerous books and articles on math education, aiming to transform how mathematics is taught and learned, making it more accessible and engaging for all students. Award-winning titles include: What’s Math Got to Do with It? (2008), Mathematical Mindsets (2015), Limitless Mind (2019), and her new release, Math-ish: Finding Creativity, Diversity, and Meaning in Mathematics, (2024).
Registration cost includes a continental breakfast, lunch buffet, and a copy of Jo’s newest book, Math-ish, mailed to you prior to the event. We look forward to seeing you there!
