Using The Math Proficiency Guide to Become a More Effective Math Teacher (Self-Paced Modules)
The Mathematics Proficiency Guide for Teachers of Adult Education is one of several companion pieces to the MA Professional Standards for Teachers of Adult Education. The Math Proficiency Guide is designed to inform the practice of new, developing, and advanced instructors who teach math to adult learners. This virtual course will provide participants with practical ways to learn from and implement the material in the Math Proficiency Guide to improve their own math instruction. The course is designed for both new and experienced adult education math instructors. The instructional strategies and ideas presented in this course are appropriate for all levels of math classes, whether your students are native English speakers or ESOL learners. The material is also designed to identify ways to make math instruction more equitable and culturally responsive for diverse student populations and communities.

Professional Standards in Action: Supporting Math Instruction Through Classroom Visits (Self-Paced Modules)
Many adult education program directors do not have a background in teaching math or in math learning theory. Without this perspective, it is natural to have different or unclear expectations of what an effective math class looks like. This course will prepare directors to conduct math classroom observations by discussing the characteristics of effective math instruction and what it looks like in practice.
