Building the Bridges: Translating Vision into Classroom Practice – Yvette Lehman
A district’s vision for mathematics improvement won’t reach classrooms on its own—it requires bridges. These are the principals, coaches, coordinators, and teacher leaders who translate system objectives into daily practice. In session, we’ll explore how to identify the right bridge builders in your organization and clarify their role in making objectives actionable through PLCs, coaching cycles, and other touchpoints with teachers. We’ll dig into what capacity building looks like for these individuals, focusing on the dual need: a deep understanding of the district’s objectives and the leadership/coaching moves to bring them to life. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of who your bridges are and what professional learning they need to thrive—ensuring your objectives don’t just live on paper but in classrooms, where they matter most.
