Supporting and Positioning Elementary Mathematics Specialists to Create Equitable Learning for All

Participants will explore the varied roles and responsibilities of Elementary Math Specialists (EMSs) and the ways they support co-creation of ambitious and inclusive teaching and equitable learning of all. Using AMTE’s new Guidelines for Preparing and Supporting Elementary Mathematics Specialists, we will consider the 1) knowledge and expertise needed by EMSs to support collective progress, and 2) ways they might be positioned in school communities for impactful collaboration and advocacy.
