Welcome to the SABES Mathematics and Adult Numeracy Curriculum & Instruction Professional Development Team page!

The SABES Mathematics and Adult Numeracy Curriculum & Instruction PD Team is managed by the Adult Numeracy Center at TERC. Our center provides high-quality professional development (PD) so that teachers can better help adult learners understand how math is present and relevant in everyday life, and how learners can use this knowledge to improve their own lives and communities. 

PD OPPORTUNITIES

See all currently scheduled SABES PD on the Upcoming Events list (filter by "Math and Numeracy") or search the SABES PD Calendar. Summaries of math and numeracy PD (including PD not currently scheduled) are available. Participants from MA ACLS-funded programs have priority for event registration, but others are welcome as space allows.

Coaching and program-based PD are available to ACLS-funded programs on request. Visit the SABES Coaching Hub!
