Training Resources

We all want our learners to have positive, personal experiences with math that are surprising and beautiful, make our math spaces feel safe and welcoming for all learners, and highlight the connections that our learners already have with math.

 

Developed by The Franklin Institute, these two training courses support educators in informal settings to help build positive math identities and practice strategies for creating positive and engaging math experiences.
